Saluki Test Arrows...
Gday guys,
I thought that I would post a few pictures of the test arrows I have just completed....
They were blank unfinished footed shafts from Wallace Woods ( thanks Sue and Steve ) varying in three different spines... The foot is Jarrah and the shaft Hoop pine... I am running with the 5 1/2'' Magnum cut feathers from Gateway and clip on classic nocks ( thanks John ) with 160grn brass points from Mark...
I didn't want to go too crazy on the capping and cresting, as I didn't want to take away from the look of the new upcoming bow.... ( Which I am itching for to get here...!!! )
Cheers Guy....
ps. A big thankyou to Sue and Steve from Wallace Woods for getting these shafts to me on such short notice....

The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is no where as important as being able to place it in the correct spot....!

Morning Guy.
Does this mean that there is a Saluki Bow in your future?

Re: Saluki Test Arrows...
Thanks guys for all your comments... I am really pleased with the way the arrows have turned out....
Cheers Guy...
Rod, yes mate, Tony's arrows are out there...! but I am sure with my kids getting older and wanting to build their own arrows, I am going to have some pretty wild paint jobs myself...LB rod 55 wrote:Looking Good,Tony obviously didn't give you any advice on colour schemes
Wayne, I love the Banana cut now, It has really grown on me....! I really just wanted something a little bit different... and yes, they really look like they will stabilise the worst of releases....UPTHETOP wrote:Guy they look great mate.

Yep nother fan here.
I use them out of my Predator recurve. They stabilise the best IMO and are easy to track through the air. Mine are flouro Orange and I found it easier to buy a cutter from Mark at tradbits and cut my own than try and find a retailer with them in stock.

Re: Saluki Test Arrows...
G'day Guy,
by the looks of those arrows they are amongst the looking arrows I've seen for a long time.
A very good job done well............Bill

Re: Saluki Test Arrows...
Thanks again guys for your kind comments,
The other day I gave the arrows a test flight out of my 55# recurve and two of the three flew very very nice, but the third was a touch stiff... I cant wait to see how they fly out of the Saluki... I was surprised to see how silent the banana feathers were.... I think they are a keeper...!!!
Jeffro,
I am having trouble finding the time to make arrows as well... I think Winter is a much better time as the days are shorter and that means more shed time...
Cheers Guy..
