Just finished part of my son's b-day gift......Picked up a real nice set of Clear finnished Cedar arrow shafts. Just put on some green and yellow fletching and tipped em up..added a small touch in his name and two animal tracks he recognises already.

Did up a full Dozen of these but I'm gonna hide the other half away for spares...:wink:

These are to accompany the other Gift...I dug out my 15 lb Fibreglass bow I've had since I was seven...funny it's about the only thing I ever kept from my childhood......But man when I hold it do some Good memories come back. That Bow and Me had a hell of alot of adventures together. I picked up a new string and it actually looks good all shined up.

My son will be 7 next week so i figured it was time to pass along my 30 year old Treasure !
I look forward to his adventures........ :smile:

What's wrong with that?
Now that's one thoughtful Dad!
Custom arrows for sure - watch he doesn't take one to school for Show & Tell even if he might want to (I can see me doing it).

I think that Joshua will have a very nice birthday.
15lb. fiberglass bow congers up childhood images for me too. Don't know where my bow got to, but I guess I can be forgiven since that was 50 years ago.

Good job Will. Something therapeutic about making your own arrows. And something very rewarding in giving a hand made gift to someone you love. They look great.

My brother also uses the signature bear paw on his arrows. Cool.

It's a Paw and a Deer track ! Tough to print his name on the round shaft though.........
The shafts were already dipped and crested.......just had to re Fletch and put the tips on:cool:

Actually it is kinda fun (arrow work) and a helluva nice change from the reloading bench too BTW ! :wink:

Thanks for the good words folks:biggrin:

Thats a nice present.
He'll be saying " I remember when my dad made me a set of arrows and gave me this bow I still have.." on HBC about 30 years from now :)
Pretty cool.
He'll be able to go after those out of season rabbits with you :rolleyes:
