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'll be cutting self nocks into our arrows. The arrow shafts are Douglas Fir, one of my favorite softwoods for arrows. If you are interested, I got these from Ted at Raptor Archery - http://www.raptorarchery.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=146_138&products_id=708 He offers a pretty good selection of arrow shafts, plus he can also make tapered and footed shafts.
