Do your research on Mugabe. That’ll give you all the answers you’re looking for.

I definitely agree.

Interesting.

Two of my great uncles used to take a lot of long walks looking for arrow heads on the sand hills they farmed (and my dad now farms). They built up a pretty nice collection of arrow heads, which now belongs to my dad.

OMG! I remember very well when that happened, but hadn’t known anyone directly affected by it. Sad in deed!

I had not heard of “hex shafts” (not that that is big news). In my head, I was picturing a hexagon shaped, rather than round shaft :shock:. For others who also haven’t heard of them and are interested, here’s a link:

Interesting.

Certainly no need to apologize, unless you want to apologize for apologizing:lol::lol:! This forum is for these types of questions.:wink:

The necessary arrow spine will be determined, primarily from the draw weight, tip/broadhead weight, and the arrow length.

Fletching your own arrows is definitely cheaper than having others do so for you. It’ll take some time to realize the savings though. Yes you’d need a fletching jig. Here’s a thread regarding different fletching jigs.

Strong, lightweight, tough.

Happy Trails,

Hmmm…duly noted.
BTW, it’s also a great choice for an acoustic guitar top. 😉

Howdy and Welcome trad-man,
I would recommend you repost the question in “The Bowyer’s Bench” sub-forum. You’re likely get better/more answers.

Sure thing Michael. I live by one of my all-time favorite quotes (by Chris Berman, from a hilarious ESPN commercial):
“There is no such thing as a stupid question, just stupid people that ask questions.”
So, you see…I never worry about asking a stupid question. :lol::lol:
