| Longbow arrows with about4" to 6" of hardwood,usually purple(your fave colour)heart, rosewood, etc, joined at the foot of the arrow with a spliced joint, like the bottom of a snooker cue. It's supposed to make the arrow stronger at the pile end when it hits a stone in the ground!! Bill Searle, agood friend of mine, made me some with rose wood footings years ago and they are still good to shoot. They look good too. |
