I don't normally sell less than 12 at a time. The shafts come by the dozen and are a matched set. You'll have to find some one that wants 3 as well as yourself. But you'll have a difficult time doing so because Excalibur quivers hold 4.
You will be very welcome to watch if you like.

If you have your own fletching tool, please bring it. Meantime, the last pieces of equipment are on their way to me. David Wilkins at Wyvern Creations has helped me buy a few Arizona EZ Fletch Bolts. They will be well priced and if you do not have one, this is the time. I will not make any money on product you use. Infact, if you want, I'll show you my credit card charges and invoices for anything you buy. Remember boys, these lessons are for those who do not know how to build arrows.
When the Bolts arrive, we will set a date.

Mr Boo, Are all the spots filled? I have an EZ Fletch that I bought 20years ago to do aluminum arrows. Do you think it would work on standard crossbow bolt diameters? I remember fletching 2217 arrows with it.

Newtonville? Really? A neighbour! :mrgreen:
Yes, your fletching tool will work assuming you aren't using BIG fat fixed broadheads and everything is right.
No problem in fitting you in. I don't have a final tally on the number of people at the moment but I don't mind running a few classes or even doing a one on one with anyone, even a neighbour! :lol: :lol: :lol:
Where are you? I'm on Con Rd 1, just east of Lancaster.
Being so close, I assume you're coming to Boofest as well?

I'm going to assume that you boys will all be well behaved and polite at this event. All seriousness, lots of learning, and no goofing off! :wink:

(I'm pouting cuz I can't go. )
