Well the time has come upon me again.
I am again looking at traditional "off the knuckle" English longbows. Found a good deal on handmade bows out of a company in the northeast US that I have never heard of before, but their prices see right, and a little research shows decent reviews... And I am again thinking about making my own traditional/primitive arrows. My reloading cabinets are full of components, my life is currently no money, and no free time, I love to shoot noisy dirty guns, but I still miss my old stick bow... Being able to get out in the yard with a longbow and spend a afternoon losing arrows I made myself. No earplugs, no smoke, nobody wondering who is doing all that shooting (I have run off six sets of "city" neighbors in the last few years that bought my great grandmothers old house to get a little "country" living, and even though the sheriff sides with me since I am on my own acreage even he is starting to give me the "enough is enough" looks when he comes out on complaints of "I didn't realize you had such gang violence out here! They sounds like they are having a war out there!". And he has to explain that this is the country, and Texas, it isn't Chicago, Dallas, or Houston. People are allowed to safetly shoot guns on their own property particularly during hunting season. Basically I am just tired of it.). Anyway. Anybody else make their own traditional or primitive arrows? Three rivers archery has a lot of supplies that lookg like they will be just the ticket for a trade point, English string fletched, self nock, spruce feather shafted arrow to go along with that longbow that I hope to get soon, or at least by Christmas.

What can I say
I like the bow that you showed me and I am really enjoying fletching my own arrows. It more fun that loading my own cartridges.
I really enjoy the quiet when punching holes in my targets. It even more fun with you and your brothers and Slimzippy. Bulletpusher (Dad)
