Using kite parts to make arrows

by Lasivian @ 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.

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.
