Fletchings move about 1/8 inch over all 10 arrows.

They look great! Just make a mark on your fletching jig clamp and make sure all your feathers are starting at the same point and that will make them all line up right  PM me if you need any help with stuff
And you know where to buy your next supplies from…

The ones I sell handle up to around 5.5" and then you have the big one from Richard Head that handles anything up to 8" - sounds like you have either a Sherwood or a Cartel jig or something similar usually used for aluminium target arrows and small flights

Right an update. Yesterday I bought a Samick recurve hunter.
These arrows are in intensive care!! With the 11 I went to the range with only 1 came back without a scratch, and they did fly like corkscrews.
8 lost atleast 1 fletch, 2 snapped, oh well, its only more money I need to spend.
Now I have an idea, but I need a trip to the art shop to see if I can do it with the new shafts. Then if it does I need to ring Jaselpool.
As next weekend is Avalon's 2 dayer I have 2 weeks to get a new set of darts built.

Hi bud
Did you build the arrows to the new bow? Sounds like they could be the wrong spine. If you need new shafts in a hurry you'll need to get me sooner rather than later as stock sells quickly. Also better to email me with any questions rather than trying to get me by phone info@thelongbowshop.com.
Cheers
Jase

Its not going to be a rush job, next weekend I'll be shooting compound, the samick is a bit of fun for when I don't want to take things seriously.
The arrows are probably a little underspined and the next ones will be heavier, but i want ot see if the art idea will work first.
Still these arrows were built for flat decoration so I really didn't care if 0 survived, my carbons on the other hand......
If I can get down the art shop today, then I'll be in contact mid week.

Interesting, yes, mindbending, yes as you have to think in multiple layers in 1 and on different planes and
mucky as hell!!!! If you have kids and try this method, they are going to want to help, trust me...
Oh and it stinks to high heaven too, I've been high as a kite all night!!!!
The madness will be explained in a short vid when I do the real ones.
