Was hoping to go to the club today but had to wait for a delivery.
Something to do on a cold day.

So I got some bamboo shafts yesterday and was thinking about what I was going to do with them. Thinking I may self nock them, so tried two different ways but not sure which I like better, what do you think ?

 

[ozzy1977]

Nice work, does the bamboo need the horn reinforcement?

Pretty fletchings, where did you find them?

 

[Big Stu 12]

Looking nice.... I keep thinking about doing some wrapped self nocks

 

[Cromm]

You don't have to if there is a node near the nock area as that is solid, but if there isn't one you have to reinforce the area, I normally use sinew binding. You you don't the string on release can split the shaft.

 

[Cromm]

Cheers, the fletchings came from Merlin.

 

[Cromm]

Stu they can be a bit fiddly, but with bamboo the shafts are never the same size so it works better for them I find.

 

[Cromm]

So did anyone get any archery gear for xmas ? I got some vouchers and a bit of cash.

 

[ozzy1977]

I built a new set of arrows yesterday to see if a bit more stiffness and weight will help in anyway, I went stiffer because I have noticed my draw length has increased by nearly an inch in the last year and my previous shafts were borderline anyway.

All being well I can go and play some time at the weekend

I'm treating myself to a Mybo target today.

I was chatting to guy who lives behind me in the pub on NYE and he said that I can use his field to shoot in.

Cheers, Michael.

 

[Cromm]

Yer, I got an "Undead Fred" zombie 3D target.....it's brilliant

 

[Cromm]

I have been looking at those targets, they look fun.

 

[Cromm]

Ok ozzy, want me to come pick you up on Sunday, I am just making sure all is good but it looks clear for me to go shoot.
Be good to see you Stu.
