Handmade arrow

[Charlz9mm]

For me arrows are hard to make.
This one came out quite well. It is made with locally hunted turkey feathers, locally grown river reed and a cow bone arrow head.
Straightening is the most difficult part. I heated the shaft and used elk antler straighteners. I did not have natural pine pitch or natural sinew so of those are artificial. It flies straight and the arrow head is sharp.
