Re: Lanolin question
I've used this, I think on advice of Ursus once upon a time: https://www.etsy.com/listing/90511095/2-oz-mamabear-lanolizing-wool-spray-you?variation0=577848387 ... but I confess, I didn't notice a difference in the wool birrus I tried it on. (I sprayed one half of the thing down, let it sit, and wo...

Lanolin question
I'm working on a few new wool garments and one for certain I'd like to treat with lanolin. Are there any recommended brands that have worked well?
Thanks,
Andy

Re: Arrow build
How much twist have you put on those fletchings? Hey, I didn't see the first question. Sorry. I'll post some pics hopefully showing the twist. I can't honestly say if its a deep or shallow twist. I just adjust the jig so the base of the feather has the most surface contact with the arrow shaft.

Re: Arrow build
Nice arrows! and your nocks are made with patience and precision, some beauties! I love natural feathers too, more flexible and resistance than the treated ones. Normally, with feathers cut like your grey ones, your arrows will be more silenced when the arrow is flying. With feathers with long tip,...

Re: Arrow build
How much twist have you put on those fletchings? I do like making use of the natural angle of the barbs, although I tend to just nip the trailing corner off. Not a hard crop like the grey arrow..... I'll have to see if I've got any left of my handcut fletchings. Wild turkey does look a lot nicer th...

Arrow build
Batch of arrows to go with the new bow. Douglas Fir shafts, natural barred wild turkey feather and a few yellow for 3D ranges. https://i.imgur.com/x0CK0yF.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/1lyGWyc.jpeg I use various grains of sandpaper glued to craft sticks to finish the nocks. https://i.imgur.com/UfnrrKV.jp...

Re: Stealth and blending in to the terrain
Great to see you out there working the basics.
Here’s a list we used to teach during the stalking and hide site portion of one of our schools. There’s a lot of variants of this, but they’re good bullets to keep in mind.
