Gimli: It's true you don't see many Dwarf-women. And in fact, they are so alike in voice and appearance, that they are often mistaken for Dwarf-men.
Aragorn: It's the beards.

Re: An quick experiment with archery technique
here's a set of new traditional arrows I made:
with Bard the bowman's black arrow thrown in for a bit of fun
"Arrow!" said the bowman. "Black arrow! I have saved you to the last. You have never failed me and always I have recovered you. I had you from my farther and he from of old. If ever you came from the forges of the true king under the Mountain, go now and speed well!"
Impressive, but if Bard's black arrow was indeed handed down through the generations it makes me wonder how many new shafts and fetchings it had over those years

What did you use to glue the fletching down Iodo? Are they recessed?
For seven days without eating or sleeping the new king sat, until he stood and cried "This cannot be borne!"!

Re: An quick experiment with archery technique
Just ordinary fetching glue, I haven't done anything clever or historically accurate

Re: An quick experiment with archery technique
Late question but I really like those arrowheads you have. They seems to have a better aesthetic than the usual target points since they look more along the lines of bodkin. Well, I assume you use them for target practice. If so, do you have a link where I might pick up a couple?

TAS history point: https://www.merlinarchery.co.uk/tas-history-point.html
Bearpaw History Point:
11/32'' - https://www.merlinarchery.co.uk/bearpaw ... -1132.html
5/16'' - https://www.merlinarchery.co.uk/bearpaw ... t-516.html
I can't remember which one I got, I'd have to check the invoice, but as far as I know they are almost the same. A YouTube subscriber asked a while back and I tried to find a supplier that sold them in the US and wasn't very successful, I don't know if Merlin will ship overseas? if not PM me and I can get hold of some and post them
[EDIT] I just looked up my original order, it seems I got the TAS ones even tho I linked the Bearpaw ones in my video
