A couple months back an older gentleman I work with brought in an old box of arrows for me after he found out i was in to archery. He is building a house and fixing to move here shortly after he retires so he is in the process of decluttering and getting rid of stuff he doesn’t use or need. He came across this old box of arrows and asked if I wanted them and I said ”heck yea“. These were old crestwood arrows with hilbre and ma2 broadheads. The feathers were in good shape so I kept them on and just did a little light sanding, removed the heads, cut to my length, and refinished them. There were also these 4 short shafts in the box. They spined 50-54 and these were perfect for my shorter draw length shooting Buddy. He has been wanting me to make him up a couple arrows with lighted nocks for this particular farm he hunts. It’s a rule that this farmer has for hunting his land…lighted nocks only. He’s had some issues with lost arrows, broadheads, and his cattle. Anyways, I made up two shafts with lighted nocks and 2 with regular nocks, refletched and refinished. The cool thing about these arrows is that they’re marked 49 cents! I had to leave that stamp on there so I finished over the top so it’ll never rub off. They turned out pretty good. Here are the 4 short arrows I made for my Buddy.

You friend should be happy, you did a great job. The others are on such great condition for their age. The good old days when wood arrows were dipped full length. You can almost smell the Lacquer .
Very nice job, my man!
Nice.
Pretty neat. Well done
Look great!!!!
Look great!!!!
I did have to refletch one arrow but there is minimal mite damage on the other feathers. I sprinkled some mule team in the box just in case…pretty neat old arrows!
