This is the second part of my personal three-part challenge to myself. You can see the original challenge here -    • Ice Bucket Challenge  

Today we'll be building the Adult Bow and Arrow Set. The bow's name is Keahi and pulls 50 pounds at 28 inches. There are six Douglas Fir arrows in the set. The arrows have spliced fletching and reinforced self nocks.

In this part we will be splicing our feathers to make our finished fletchings. Pre-cut feathers can be found at most archery pro shops and even some sporting good stores in the archery section. I get my full-length feathers from a couple of local shops. I also get them from Raptor archery ( http://www.raptorarchery.com/index.ph... ) and 3 Rivers Archery ( http://search.3riversarchery.com/buy/... )
