you dont have to have a wrap in the middle but it just makes them quieter during flight...closer to shaft, less drag, etc

Wow, that's certainly a lot of work you've done there. Well done. The only thing I'd ask is if you could add some commentary to each of the photos so we know what's in each / what's going on, as some of them aren't too obvious (to me anyway.. lol ). A little history as to why you do this or even history to the objects themselves would be great.

impressive work! ime just getting into 'tied fletching'.ive been using glue and jig for years. i noticed your fittinh field points to yer arrows,have you tried judo points? theyre great for rough shooting and small game,damn near impossible to lose,and with the effort you have put into making those itd be a shame to lose any!

 

[michbowguy]

i use smaller flint heads for small game, and larger for big game .
the mahogany obsidian points..."brown" are the small game heads.

the black is a 3" hunting point made from basalt.
