ArthurP,

I commend you on your ability. I too have worked with natural materials for arrows. I teach ancient history for a living and did a demonstration for my students last fall. I went back further in time than the bow and arrow though. I built an atlatl to throw a dart (Spear) for my kids to observe. I built the dart out of rock maple for the shaft, with crow feathers for the vanes. I lashed them on fore and aft, with no goatuff glue

BTW- I have to agree, the a/c in my F-150 feels better than a mule also
