Constructing Your Own Wood Arrows in Archery

Constructing your Own Wood Arrows in Archery :

As we may believe, Wooden arrows have been around for many years and probably century's. Wood is also most likely the first substance used in the making and production of arrows for archery. As the first arrow material, it's safe to say that arrow material used was the first when man started flinging shafts at game long ago. Wooden arrows are still just as popular today as they were yesterday. This being mostly because wooden arrows are traditional, people still like to use the traditional accouterment's. Wooden arrows have changed little over the years or century's, but we see many variations.

In yesterdays gone by, when an archer wanted to shoot wooden arrows, they merely ordered a few dozen, or maybe even a few hundred. These were usually made out of Port Orford cedar, they were available in three grades, Premium, select or mill-run. The first two grades were a bit rigid in selection of the shaft by the distributor, shafts were matched in there spine and by there weight. Of course Premium arrows were of the finest grade and quality, these were excellent arrows. The Select grade were just a touch less matched than there Premium counterpart, these were still excellent hunting arrows. The Mill-run grade was what its name implies, hundred mill run shafts from a spin range of 60 to 65 pounds. For the most part these arrow shafts ran in this range, you would however end up with a few wild arrows from time to time. This of course was in the respects of there spine and weight measurements being a hair or two off. We would in turn, sort, match and construct some good arrows, dependent on the type of game or target we were after.

Today, if you try to find Port Orford shafts, your going to have a big problem, it's just hardly available anymore. So in turn, different makers of arrow shafts have been searching for a good wood to replace the infamous cedar. One point to keep in mind is the fact, one needs more than just a fletching jig to work up good wood arrows. In this equation Pine maybe the answer looked for in the replacement of the cedar. One could construct these out of Canadian Pine with very good results.

Remember that constructing your own arrows takes time and patience, So take your time and learn something new, But keep patience and don't give up.
