I haven't found any threads related to building arrows under the Trad forum, If any of these questions are already answered on here then just point me in the right direction. I'm looking at building arrows pretty soon here. I'd like to go all trad and save some money while I'm at it. Right now I shoot 30" goldtip 7595 with straight feathers. I want to switch that to cedar shafts with some helical.
If anyone has any insight/experience with making wood arrows, please share! What diameter, feather length/helical(spin direction?), any helpful tips for cutting, what type of seal/stain you use on the shafts, and maybe good/bad experiences you've had with different fletchers. Also, It seems like the taper tools are just big pencil sharpeners...
Any scrap of info helps!
