Using kite parts to make arrows

by @ 1:27 pm. Filed under Business, Personal, Reviews, Sports

So I ended up with a dozen Blue Jacket carbon arrows, and needed nocks for them.

Which turned out to be a bit of a problem. The arrows are 230s, which means they are .23″ in diameter. That’s not a size anyone makes parts for anymore since Blue Jackets have been out of production for many years now.

So after multiple failed attempts to check at archery stores I rustled up nocks that normally go on kites at Goodwinds. As it turns out they fit perfectly.

Goodwinds also deserves a nod for their reduction of their shipping costs since they’re only an hour away from me by car, and their good attitude with my over the phone while I ask about archery uses for kite parts.

On to fletching.

    Can you use crow feathers? That would be completely badass.

  2. Lasivian Says:

    If you mean black fletching that can be purchased.

    At the moment we’re using bright colors since black or dark colors are hell to find in the undergrowth.
