[Big Stu 12]

Dont like the top open.. so may do a topped one

 

[ozzy1977]

As of January term Charlie will be at school 2.5 days so plenty of time to get stuff done

If you put a top on it, it turns into my tuff quiver really. I've used the one in ozzy link, the arrows make to much noise and have a habit of falling out. I seemed to have to move it about alot. I still have it somewhere I will try and find it.

Thats was my feeling it reminded me a of a Back quiver but slung down, from the pic I did wonder if it got in the way I like your Tuff Quiver, and had a look on the tinternet http://safarituff.com/arrowmaster.html at the moment the cost of it is a bit , I do like the Idea of a leather one , and with mod's think it could be a nice one...

I am up for a day up rendelsham on Sunday

Bow boy's do you use a jig to fix your fletching's to your arrows or do you use the force.

 

[ozzy1977]

I got a fletching jig for Christmas

 

[Big Stu 12]

I got a fletching jig as well .. it makes it so easy

 

[mitch66]

Cool, I wasn't sure if you used one or fitted them by hand, coz I've seen some very good results Done by hand. I find it very therapeutic building and repairing mine. I have been lucky so far and only lost a couple of arrows however this has been mainly down to having access to a good metal detector. Looking forward to seeing your bow's. Later carl

 

[Big Stu 12]

They dont take long to make, and look like you have made something if you know what I mean... not much work for the reward ..

I think I have now lost two, shattered one, lost a few Nocks, and piles tho, lol, the undergrowth at the club is rough and some times quite think, and of course due to it being pine the needles just lay over everything,

Chris and I are up there on Sunday having a shoot about.

 

[Cromm]

I will be there also, I asked Miguel and he's coming along. We will be there around 1030.

 

[ozzy1977]

I will be getting there around 10, if no one is there I will go for a wander.

 

[Cromm]

Remember to take a whistle with you ozzy. What make jigs did you boys get for xmas? I got the bear paw one.

 

[ozzy1977]

I got the sherwood one

 

[Big Stu 12]

I got only got the one from the Guy on here, just got to sort a stand for it that I can clamp to the table.. its a pain laying it flat on the table ..

Just been to Perris...

Dam are they expensive .. saying that I can get 1 off of each I need.. trouble is things are cheaper on the www... but then you pay postage...

I just brought 6 #55 to#60 11/32" shafts, 18 4" fletchings 6 Nocks that cost me £27.. for 6 arrows..with out piles...!!!

I could buy a set of 12 for £40 ish + P&P...

Think I got to find a cheaper way of buying stuff, lol.. saying that I do know what I am getting how they are made, and have the enjoyment of making and shooting something I made...

Looking forward to Tomorrow ..
