Oh I forgot to add that I purchased a Bitzenburger RW Helical Jig last month! $69 from a shop in the US.

8. Learn how to straighten wooden shafts and keep them straight. It's really easy and you don't need anything fancier than an old screwdriver to do it. It's amazing how many people I see at trad shoots with bent arrows. And they wonder why they miss.

I can give you plenty of tips on splicing feathers too, but I need pictures to help explain that - which is why I'm re-writing my 'How To' guide. Should be done by early next year.

Hope some of that helps.

I'd love to find out more about the screwdriver technique for straightening arrow shafts - I haven't heard of that one before. Sorry for the thread hijack... :biggrin:

No probs about drifting the thread, it is all good info for me. I am pretty sure that you use the shaft of the screwdriver and rub the convex part of the bend to straighten. Holding the arrow on around a 45 degree angle with the point on a stable surface.

No doubt others will be able to explain this better than I.

Cheers
