How do you store your arrow shafts before you build your arrows? I am going to buy 100 shafts, and probably wont build them all at once, so how do I store the remainder of the shafts? Do I wrap them up tight, and lay them flat, or stand them on end, or do I need to find something else to think about?
I am thinking that if I dont do something with them, they will get crooked on me.
How do you store yours?
I try to avoid storing them on end. I usually take a few heavy rubber bands and bundle them together then lay them flat somewhere dry. I think this helps avoid warping. I' ve never bought 100 before, but when I buy a dozen I often straighten them, bundle them tight together to keep them that way and work on them a week or two later due to time restraints.
Kip, I do the same as Coop but with a hundred, band them up in twenty-fives and store them laying flat. A good tip is also to roll them around each week to undo any " memory" .
Thanks guys. I am buying 100, its gonna be a long summer. I hope to shoot this bow alot, and Im sure Im gonna break some arrows, so I will get some on hand. It will also allow me to " experiment" with the crester and find a pattern that I really like. Between me and a few other guys, we should be building arrows quite regularly.
Whats the best way?
