I'm in for the 28th of February.

If I wanted to use brass inserts for the front of my bolts is that something I should source myself before coming? If this is the case what diameter insert should I get?

No need, I have aluminum (28 gr) and brass inserts (80, 92 and 110).

Feb 28th is good for me....

Bring the new 355 jeff

LOL

No 355 in the stable yet. Maybe Don will trade me for my 335....

It's always nice to dream!
Jeff, you might want the Bulldog after shooting it!

We need more people for the 12th. Please register here on this thread. Do not just show up.

All you guys should bring a particle mask and safety goggles if you plan on cutting your own shafts. If you don't want to, I don't mind cutting them.
Rubber/nitrile gloves are not necessary.
I have a few notebooks for anyone wanting to make notes.
Reinyrooster is going to record.
As far as the actual making of the arrows, you don't need to bring anything. I'll have files, acetone, paper towels, bore brushes, lots of glue.....
Oh, Mikie, bring your own crayons and bristle board
Did I miss anything?

You might be able to colour above Don's reach, but you better watch out for Karen, Don's Boss.

Sounds like fun, wished I had a need for new carbon arrows (would need a new model bow for that need) so I could learn how to make up carbon arrows.

The 12th sounds good to me if there is room.

[Doe Master]

Figured I would advance this up again . Good for people to learn how to make their own .
It makes you appreciate the craftsmanship when artisans make the specialty products for us . ie. Strings and arrows .
