| I don't, but I have always wanted to start doing it. I am hoping to purchase some things in the near future so I can. | |

| Have been doing them myself and selling them for about 4 years. It is great to harvest a deer with an arrow that you put together. I do it all... wrap, fletch, cut, install inserts, etc. Be glad to give advice to anyone who needs it. | |

| You guys are youngins, I've been making my own arrows for alittle over 30 years now , started with cedars back when I shot recurve and long bow then aluminum and now carbon. And it realy is a very good feeling when you take down your game with equipment you made yourself. | |

| I started doing mine a few months after I bought my first bow. I figured if something goes wrong with the arrow then I want it to be on me and not because I didn't take the time to do it. I actually really enjoy doing it and enjoy getting them as slick as I can. I enjoy making my arrows pretty | |

I suppose you were chopping down trees, whittling them down to a shaft and using sharpened rocks as broadheads. Probably some of your broadheads me & Mike found last spring while turkey hunting. JK I know you have tons of experience. I will bring my recurve when I come down next so we can shoot 'em up. Nice looking arrows Dave. I just gotta say arrow aren't meant to be pretty. They are meant to inflict much hemorrhaging ultimately resulting in a quick death. Just messing with you guys!! | |

| I started building my own arrows this year, everything but cut them but I plan to purchase an arrow saw later this year. I will tell you it does add to the satisfaction of the kill when you harvest something with an arrow youve built. It felt sweet when I harvested my ram earlier this year and the guide was looking over my arrows saying they look pretty good, and I could respond yea I put them together. | |

the best thing is that you play with so many different combos and if they get screwed up the only one to blame is youself. | |
