Hi peeps,
I'm planning on splicing feathers on my next set of arrows. I've found plenty info on the internet, but was wondering if anyone has personal experience, or even better, some pics

Have you seen this site Geoff, if your into traditional crafted arrows they have some great ideas.

I think Jaseposted a guide in another thread in this forum recently about footing arrows... I seem to remember it also covered feather splicing (may be mistaken, but I'm fairly certain)

Some lovely examples Dawn, thanks
I'm part way through making 2 new sets of arrows... have got the shafts done (bar a final coat of varnish) complete with waterslide transfers. Feathers spliced and ready to go...
Will post pics when I'm done
