Another great video. At one time, I had my hands on a bundle of arrow shafts made by a modern-day Agaidika. A Shoshone. I didn't have the opportunity to interview him. There were about fifteen unfinished shafts tied into a tight bundle. All had their bark removed. I assumed they stored them like this to keep them straight during storage. Thanks for posting.

@ktcd1172 4 года назад

Ryan, Thank you for giving a visual demonstration of the entire process that Gemstone Iv has us go through to create our wooden arrows. Placing the fletching on the shafts was particularly helpful for visualizing the process that the game has us compete in about 90 seconds. We get a glue bottle instead of the pitch stick, but the process is still about the same and watching you makes it clear why the game forces us to toss the fletchings and keep the shaft when we fail entirely to get them to stick to the shaft.

@G-and-J-Chapel-Artworks Год назад

I love how you show the primitive builds. Your in depth instructions have helped me supplement and/or correct information I've obtained from modern builders trying to make a down and dirty primitive survival kit. I gain more insight into doing it the tried and true way in order to better equip myself for the possibility of the emergency temporary need as well as build my long term planned use kit. Awesome work.

@Doxymeister 4 года назад

That is so cool--it's obvious now just how much time and effort our ancestors put into making precision equipment--their lives depended on it. I think our local tribe here uses a lot of Bois D'Arce(sp?) wood, as it's extremely tough yet flexible--and very attractive in the finished product, a bright, deep golden yellow. Not sure about the arrows though, never thought about it. That final shot--dude, I've ridden most of my life but never had good enough balance to ride bareback much--and you hunted hog riding bareback! Much respect, can't wait to see the rest of that video.

@MrDavidTiller 4 года назад

You can also quick straighten the shafts using a bed of coals. Don't take the bark off and stick them on top of the bed and move them back and forth in the coals, rotating them all the time. Once it starts steaming at the ends, start bending to straighten. They will harden and straighten quickly.

@kytziaf 4 года назад

The method of straightening the arrow shafts as they dry is the best method. They dry straight they tend to stay straight. Also certain kinds of species I find you cant take the bark off till dry like oceanspray. I also find that if I am just drying the shafts to save for months or yesrs I find its better to keep the bark on. Great work and enjoy yor videos. One craftsmen to other great work

@huntprimitive9918 4 года назад

thanks very much. Sparkleberry does really well with the bark on too, especially if a shaft is a little thin and weak, it'll strengthen it up a bit.

@icantdraw9243 2 года назад

Depending on the feather you can strip it off and skip the scraping completely. I think soaking the quill helps maybe even steaming. But the results are a SUPER paper thin quill base with the feathers all still attached. I noticed this process works best on feathers I worked on after a rain. Also there is a risk reward process that you could end up ruining the fletching if it splits on you.
