Finished arrows

Here are my finished arrows and bow all set up to hunt this year. The bow is the one that was previously pictured, but I put the arrow rest and handle wrapping on it.

Arrows are ash from Allegheny Mnt. Arrowwoods. I put a stain on them, then a couple coats of polyurethane. Shaft weight is 580 grains, Tuffhead 225 grains = around 800 grains total weight. Its a pretty heavy shaft, but the yew bow flings them quickly and they hit hard. FOC = 14.6% so not too high, but technically i the low HFOC range. It was hard to find a hardwood shaft with a high spine and low weight, guess I’d have to switch to a softwood shaft, but then there’s those problems about breaking behind the head I’ve been reading about on here…

3 pics. The first 2 are the same from different angles, and show a nice grouping, except for when I miss (re: the 2 arrows not near center). The one pic from 20 yards, still pie size grouping, but getting more spread out, that’s about my max range.

5 weeks until the early season opens here…! Yeeha!

Wildschwein-

California has an Archery Only tag, which allows you to deer hunt any zone archery & general season, using archery equipment. So if I travel some throughout the state, I can hunt from the middle of July to the middle of November.:D

South Texas- Those are 4 feathers, 3 inches long, hand cut about 1.5″ high. Not quite Flu Flu, but enough to steady the points.
