rockstar.esq Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Basher, How do they affix the arrow head to the shaft? These look like a file tang sort of arrangement but that seems like it'd split the arrow shaft in use. They're absolutely beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 They used cane as I recall---however splitting the shaft in use is considered a good thing in battle as then the enemy cannot glean your arrows and shoot them back at you. (Tricks with the knocks including a trap knock that would cut the bowstring if used by someone who didn't have a knock cup on their bowstring were another warfare mod.)

Norcal Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Owen, Those are very nice looking. I just ran across them looking for information on arrowheads/bodkins. Wonderful work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
