I have been involved in archery all my life. When I was little my dad was in the archery club in Haywood County and he made lots of their arrows, so I watched and learned to make the arrows, spine test, fletch and crest them with beautiful colors.
As the compound bow era came on us I was young and wanted the fastest and newest thing out there so I learned to work on these awful things. I learned to tune them and keep up everybody's bows for them, but a few years of that was enough. The next deer season I was sitting in my stand with hand made arrows, shafts, tips, feathers from last years turkey, self nocks and all. My 48# hickory self bow was my first. I even made my own finger stalls, arm guard, and back quiver.
I never wanted to sit in the woods with a wheel or a cable attached to my bow again. So, I've been making archery equipment most of my 52 years and I love it! If you want some arrows and a bow made by somebody who would just as soon keep each one for himself then give my stuff a try. I know you'll be satisfied.
I Guarantee it.
Here I am shooting one of my Pyramid bows in my back yard still using my old arm guard and finger stalls I made 15 years ago.
Below is my wife painting the back of a rawhide backed pyramid. You know deer are color blind so just breaking up the shape is all we need to do. Some of my ancestors were Cherokee and we all know they didn't use "RealTree Camo". There's no reason we can't enjoy looking at our stuff and hunt with it too.
