A Note From Dave
When I started Archery Past in 1980, I sold spined, tapered and
finished Rose City and then ACME Port Orford Cedar shafts, and I
made custom leather archery accessories. Bill Sweetland (Sweetland
Compressed Cedar shafts) and Bob Brooks of Eugene were my arrow mentors. I made my first back quiver from the directions in the
1978-79 Alaska Bowmen, published by Jay Massey, Dick Hamilton
and Doug Borland. These guys were leaders in traditional archery,
although at that time it must have seemed like tradition was lost,
especially when making your own archery tackle. They were people I
looked up to then, and I still do now. I learned from them.
I’m still emphasizing teaching others to make their tackle.
And then having them teach another. Many of my friends and
acquaintances work with schools, clubs and events that have teaching seminars for adults and kids. There’s nothing like the feeling of
seeing a new archer make their first bowstring; or shooting their new
arrows they just finished. We need to pass on the skills others taught
us. I believe it’s the only way we’ll keep tradition alive in archery and
bowhunting.
And the definition of ‘traditional’ is changing; or at least for me
it is. It’s not always bad, but we need to show new shooters there is
an option to carbon arrows, or modular broadheads or even factory

made accessories. We need to make them feel welcome even if they
are only shooting a traditional bow. Then show them how we used
to do it. Just like Jay Massey, Bill Sweetland and others did for me.
Remember it is the attitude as well as the equipment.
As you may have noticed, prices, items and options on items
change weekly. As soon as a catalog is printed, there will be a change
from a distributor or supplier. I’ll try to honor prices as much as I
can, but sometimes it’s not possible. Wood shafts continue to be
the most volatile item with availability and specie of wood changing
the most. I now have Surewood Douglas Fir and Hildebrand Sitka
Spruce in all spines. Others as available will be stocked.
I’ve dropped all packs. Kathy Kelly packs, my favorites, as
well as some others will be on a ‘special order’ only. There are just
too many options in packs and everyone wants to feel and try it on
which doesn’t work well in a mail order situation.
And there is the internet. As long as I travel to as many shoots
as I do, being home to immediately answer internet orders doesn’t
always work. I’ll do it as soon as I can, but if you need it ‘yesterday’,
you may need to call a competitor. I’ll understand.

The Stealth Quiver
Heritage Hip Quiver
Singin’ Jack has been making these quivers in
Washington for years. Both the Stealth and
Hunter models are made from heavy latigo leather
with a strap going over the opposite shoulder of
the side the quiver is on. The Stealth is adjustable
for right or left hand. It is slightly smaller than the
Hunter, which is available in right or left hand,
not both. The Hunter also has a file pocket
on the side. Both work well with fanny packs
or back packs. Both have a foam hood to keep
broadheads sharp and come with a fleece fletch
cover and a 2-blade solo stalker, (see page 7). I
prefer the Stealth and use it for trail shoots.
Made of brown latigo, the Heritage quiver is
similar to those used by the Thompson brothers
and Pope & Young. Sturdy, quiet and functional.
Specify left or right hand if ordering quiver with
pouch. Shearling collar, add $10.00.

Double Bull Blinds
The Dark Horse
Hair Calf Tab
This blind is still the blind others try to compare to in quality and ease of set up. A great warranty
makes this a good investment. The new Dark Horse combines the Matrix view, now 180 degrees, with
the windows on the other half like the T5. The net also opens on the top for ‘no net’ viewing. It comes
in Ground Swat camo pattern. It has a 5’ X 5’ floor space, 6 feet 4-inch shooting diameter, 74” roof
height, roof zipper for ventilation and easy access zippered door opening.
Combine this with a double bull seat, either the small or large for an additional $20.00 (with blind
purchase only) and you have a comfortable and effective blind. This is a great way to introduce kids to
the patience needed to hunt by ambush. They can do a little squirming and not spook the animals. (I’d
be lying if I told you I haven’t slept in mine.)

Ground Blind Data with Dave!
•
•
Never surprise a deer with a ground blind.
Always net the windows.
To Brush or Not! – In thick areas, where it
is difficult to see beyond 50 yards, brush the
blind and make it disappear. When hunting a
thick spot where the deer gets its first look at
the blind from 30-40 yards away, the deer will
be surprised; the blind will spook it off. In
open areas where deer can see the blind from
100 yards away, set up the blind where the
deer want to be.

The Material – The purpose of using a blind
is to hide from an animal’s eyes, ears and nose,
as well as mother nature. The material wrapping your hide needs to be quiet, dark and
wind and weatherproof.
Camouflage – Ground Swat from Pattern
Masters is a wide open, non-specific camo designed from Mother Nature’s natural shapes.
Ease of Setup – The Double Bull internalframework is the only cam style on the market. It tightens the fabric, or you can rotate
the cam to tighten it if it stretches.
Rubber Bow Tip Protector
This item is not a leather
accessory, but it goes with
the leather tip protectors. Fits longbows and
recurves. Protects the tip
from abrasion. To keep
the string in place and
prevent losing the protector, I recommend punching a hole (see photo) to
fit the string through.

Arrow Shaft Information
Treestands and Accessories
Dave’s Points About Wood Shafts
Choosing Your Spine: Longbows
There are some points to remember when choosing wood shafts, regardless
of the type of wood. Some of these points are common knowledge, some are
from my experience and that of my friends who use wood shafts exclusively
for hunting.
Wood shafts are a natural product; they may have some variations. Inspect
for cracks when making your arrows and especially after hitting a hard object
when shooting.
You may want to keep the arrow spine about the same as the weight of the
bow. These arrows have to bend around the bow a lot more since longbows
usually aren’t center shot. For a 60-pound at 28-inch longbow, start with a
55-60 or 60-65 spine. I shoot 60-65 pound tapered shafts from a 65 pound
27-inch draw Liberty Longbow. Again, shoot some and be sure.
Arrow Weight
Most shafts are spined but not weighed. Shafts may vary as much as 250300 grains in a box of a thousand. Theoretically, you could have that same
variation in a dozen arrows that are not matched. How close do they have to
be matched? As close as you need to have confidence in your arrows. Most of
us can’t shoot the difference of 30 grains or more. Mine? They’re matched to
the same degree that I sell them to you—plus or minus 10 grains or less. (In
comparison, a nock weighs about 15 grains.)
One ounce equals 437 1/2 grains. Most concerned bowhunters use as
heavy an arrow as feasible, usually about 8-10 grains for each pound of bow
weight. In the race for speed, lighter is thought to be better. For hunting,
heavier is more stable, more forgiving for that cold morning shot, quiets your
bow, and allows for exceptional penetration taking all things into consideration. Bare shafts can gain or lose weight from the time they are weighed.
When finished, they remain stable.
Be a knowledgeable traditional bowhunter. Weigh your arrows!
Spine
In most bows, 5-10 pound spine groups will work well. I prefer 5-pound
groups, especially from a longbow. Lighter arrows seem to have more flight
problems with spine and weight variation. There may be some variation between spine testers. If you want exact spine match to your shafts, buy enough
so you can do that. Or you can pay for someone to re-spine and match to the
shaft you have on their spine tester.
Straightness
Good wood shafts are straight and shouldn’t need much straightening.
Slight irregularities can be removed by bending the shaft in the opposite
direction of the bend, over the heel of your hand. Most wood can be
straightened easily, especially Port Orford Cedar. Norway Pine is very similar
to cedar in color and ease of straightening and is slightly heavier. Harder
woods, like some pines, fir, and the hardwoods, may take a little longer to
straighten. Some may have to be heated. I don’t use some of the tools that
smooth or flatten a side of the shaft to straighten it. I like my shafts round.
If you notice small perpendicular lines in the shaft near a bend, they may be
chrysals (stress marks around the shaft, across the grain). Chrysals indicate
that the shaft is broken. Discard it! Shoot only good wood arrows. Break
cracked arrows. (Better to break it than have it explode upon release.)
Choosing Your Spine: Recurves
Recurves are close to centershot; the arrow doesn’t have to work around
the riser much, so you usually have more leeway in choosing your spine for
recurves. Choose your arrow spine five pounds minimum over your bow
weight at your draw. Be aware that wood arrows are spined for a 28-inch
draw. For every inch over 28 inches you draw, add another 5 pounds. Likewise, for each inch under 28 inches, subtract 5 pounds. Example: A bow 70
pounds at 29 inches should use a 80-85 spine (bow weight = 70 pounds + 5
pounds for the extra inch over 28 inches + 5 pounds for good measure). It’s
best to shoot the spine and try it for sure. I shoot tapered 85-90 pound spine
out of a 65-pound, 27-inch Blacktail Recurve. Stiffer arrows last longer (unless you lose them) and can be heavier.

Details And Types of Shafts
The wood shaft market is changing, and it’s for the better. Hildebrand’s
Sitka Spruce shafts are getting better, if that was possible and are available
in a full 32” length. Douglas Fir from Surewood Shafts (formerly Oregon
Traditional Arrows) are back in production and are the best fir I’ve seen.
Most of the production is in 5/16” and 11/32” but 23/64” is also available
in the heavier weights. Rogue River Port Orford Cedar Shafts are under a
new owner and the shafts look good as well as the availability. They are only
available in tapered shafts. I still maintain a few of the old Acme’s as well as
Lodgepole and Norway pine and Ramin. Spines are limited in those selections so check before placing an order.
Premium
Premium shafts are hand graded, hand spined, (5 pound groups), and
weighed in groups of Plus/minus 10 grains or less, mostly less. Woods available as premiums are Fir, Spruce, ACME Cedar and Rogue River Cedar
Standard
Standard shafts are spined from the factory, but are weight matched and
graded by hand to the same specs as the premiums. These include spruce, fir,
ramin and some cedar. The only difference between Premium and Standard
shafts is labor for hand spining and weighing in closer groups. All will make
great arrows!
Sizes
Sizes are 5/16” in all woods for spines 35-39, 40-45; 11/32” for all woods
spined to 60-64 and some to 70-74; heavier weights in 23/64”. There is
some overlap so call with your preferences
Tapered Shafts
Tapered shafts are the same shafts as above, but tapered to your specifications, usually 5/16” or 9/32” on the nock end. Barrelled shafts, (actually a
double taper) are available, usually with an 11/32” point end.
Finished Shafts and Arrows
Finished shafts and arrows are available from all available shafts. Most
arrows are finished with Bohning products**, but gasket lacquer is also available. If you have a preference, please let me know. ** Remember: Repair
Bohning arrows with Fletch-tite, Gasket Lacquer arrows with Duco!
Other Shaft Options
Other shaft options include Carbon Express Carbon Heritage and Easton
Aluminum in Legacy and Game Getter. Of these, I prefer aluminum since
they come in more sizes, hold up well, cost less and can be easily fletched
or repaired, especially for youth arrows. They also accept the glue on nocks
and come in a variety of sizes to match bow weights with out adding heavier
points, inserts or weight tubes. Legacy (wood grain) available in 1916, 2016,
2018, 2020, 2117, 2216, & 2219 sizes. Game Getters are now black and
only available in 500 (2016), 400 (2117) and 300 (2317).
Carbon Shafts come in three sizes-150, 250 and 350. They may require
‘tuning’ to get the best flight. I do carry weight tubes and heavier points and
inserts. I can make a recommendation but determining what you need will
be ultimately up to you. I recommend inserts for the nock so you can use
regular glue on nocks rather than the small uni-nocks.
Treestand Basics According to Dave
I
have learned that there are three important
considerations when using treestands: safety,
location and comfort. To learn more about location, comfort, and safety, see my Web site www.
archerypast.net.
I sell treestands and accessories that have been
manufactured according to the Treestand Manufacturers Association (TMA) guidelines. There are
guidelines for treestands, restraining devices (belts,
harnesses and vests) and climbing aids such as ladders, steps and lineman or climbing straps.
Install your treestand in a live tree with no lean
while using a lineman’s strap. If both your hands
are free to work the straps, buckles and chains,
you will be more comfortable about working 20
or so feet off the ground. You’ll also do a better
job if you don’t rush. The same goes when you
remove the treestand.
I don’t use screw-in steps. They are illegal in
most public land forests; they give a false sense of
security, especially if they remain in the tree for
an extended period of time or if they are used in
thick-barked trees. Use strap-on steps or climbing
sticks (my preference). They come in 4-foot sections or as a single long ladder.
Once in the stand, secure yourself with a properly adjusted full-body harness. While a har
ness works fine by itself,
I’ve found that one of the
vest/harness combos is
more comfortable.
Don’t climb into the
stand with your bow and
pack. Use a pull rope to
bring your equipment
to the stand. (I use two
ropes—one for the bow
and another for the pack.)
The strap that hooks to Dave’s treestand in Alberta,
Canada while on a whitetail hunt
the treestrap (the treestrap with Dave Bzawy of Alberta
Wilderness Guide Service.
is the one that goes
around the tree above your
head) needs to hook easily so you can get in and
out of the tree. The treestrap also needs to be at
the correct height. When you’re sitting, it should
be snug, pulling up slightly on your back. The
treestrap will prevent you from falling far if you
fall asleep or slip while standing to shoot.
Other convenient accessories are hooks that
strap or hook to your treestrap to hold your pack
or bow. Adjust them so they’re easy to reach while
sitting. Bright Eyes, Glow Clips or other reflecting
tape or tacks will allow you to return to the stand
in the dark. Use lots of them!

I
f you are using carbon or aluminum shafting,
skip to Number 4 on page 15. When using
wood shafts, you need to consider more than just
spine and weight.
1. Choose the type of wood. You may need to
research the type of wood shafts you want to
use. I prefer Port Orford Cedar because of its
straightness, strength, ease of working, good
stain qualities and of course, odor. Availability
is the problem with Port Orford Cedar.
2. Check for cross-grain and other imperfections such as knots, cracks and chrysals. I
prefer grain running the length of the shaft,
but that is rare today. I would stay at about
12-15 inches before the grain runs off the shaft
(crosses in 12-15 inches). Choose the best end
of the shaft for the nock end.
For more arrow-making tips, see page 15,
Working the shaft.

ther than cresting
on an arrow, feathers
are the next best way to
dress up your arrows. Colors, styles of cut, spliced,
three or four fletch—all of
these choices are waiting
to be made. I prefer white
crown dip and feathers, so
I can see the arrows better
when they are in flight.
Choose a color that you
can see. Right or left wing? Contrary to some advice, you will not notice a
difference between right or left wing feathers unless you’re using extremely
sensitive equipment, which is not the case with traditional equipment. Good,
properly spined, heavy arrows, adequate feathers and the correct brace height
and nocking point will eliminate any arrow flight problems. All Archery Past
feathers are manufactured by Trueflight Feathers. I believe they are the best
feathers available.
Feather Waterproofing
Add to a large sandwich bag, insert fletched end
of arrow and work into feathers. Tap off excess.
One bottle will do eight dozen arrows.

Bow Quivers
Great Northern Professional
Quiver
Rick & Jerry at Great Northern are enthusiastic
supporters of traditional archery; they are especially interested in getting today’s youth involved.
Their quivers are lightweight and easy on–easy
off—one of the best for keeping the bow light.
All are five-arrow and weigh about eight ounces.
Specify left or right hand. The Longbow and
Adjustable use no-slip neoprene straps that attach
to the bow. Both will fit longbows. The Longbow
works well on self bows and the Adjustable on
recurves. The Quickmount bolts under the limb
onto any three-piece recurve; it removes without
having to unstring the bow. The Side Mount fits
on the side of any bow with threaded bushings. The
quiver comes with Number 10-24 and 1/4 inch,
20-knurled thumb screws for no-tool mounting.

Thunderhorn Quivers
The BOA models have a constricting rubber strap
to hold the quiver tightly to the bow. The Small
Fry is a 1-4 arrow model of the BOA style. These
quivers fit any bow—recurve, longbow or self
bow. The Two-Point quivers attach to the limb
bolts on any conventional limb bolt takedown recurve. The Sidewinder uses the threaded bushings
on the side of any bow riser. Everything on these
quivers is leather-covered. These quivers have
leather hoods, with a contrasting leather option.
The grippers are individual, so you can change
each quiver from a six-arrow to anything less by
removing arrow clips. The Plastic BOA and quivers are the same as their leather-covered brothers,
except for the price.

Dave’s Broadhead Facts
T
here are many choices for broadheads. I
recommend cut-on-contact broadheads that
can be re-sharpened. They must be re-sharpened
or touched up regularly and after each shot. If
you won’t put that effort into sharpening, use the
replaceable blade type, like the Muzzy Phantom.
I like three blades for overall flight and cutting
effectiveness. I use Eclipse 2 blade and feel the
penetration and cutting characteristics are just as
effective. Sharpening is easy on either type. Of
the few animals I have taken, I have used 3- and
2-blade heads. Whatever you shoot, they must be
sharp—scary sharp!

Australia’s most popular broadhead! These

system will work well with these heads. Almost a

for trail shoots then sharpen for hunting.

Dave’s Sharpening Tips
#4240
For sharpening, I use a Nicholson #18 or a Mill Smooth file. If you have a
problem holding the correct angle, use the True-Angle, two-file system. After
reshaping the edge, I use an Arkansas Medium stone to remove all file marks.
Then I use a steel, carbide or ceramic hone to remove the “wire curl.” Finally, I
strop with leather. (I cover my sight window with leather just for this purpose.
Otherwise, I use the back of my armguard.) I use this process for two- and threeblade broadheads. On three-blade heads, I file two blades at a time.
Kathy Kelly Designs Bow
Cases
Made of black, burgundy or green-colored
cordura on the outside and fleece on the inside.
Inside pockets for accessories. All have a handy
ring for hanging. These are the best soft cases on
the market. Made in Oregon.
#4238
#362
Inside pockets for limbs and accessories. Longbow
or recurve. Specify color.
Uses two Mill Bastard files. By drawing the
mounted broadhead down the files, it creates the
correct angle and sharpens the blades. Models for
2-, 3- or 4-blade. Three-blade model comes with
a hone.
Nicholson #18
One of my favorites. I carry this file in my pack
and sharpening kit. 8-inch.

Arrow Making Tools
Bows
Bows, According to Dave
Have you just started traditional archery? I recommend a used bow or one of the produced bows
on the market. If price is no problem, then by all means, call one of the custom bowyers and order what
you and the bowyer decide.
Longbow or recurve? If you’re coming from the dark side, then a recurve is easier to make the
jump—more center shot, semi-pistol grip and more mass weight. You’ll have fewer change-over problems. After shooting a recurve, or if you want to make a complete change, grab a longbow and you’ll
experience why many of us now shoot longbows more than we did 15 years ago. Lighter in the hand
and the romantic feel are the reasons I like the longbow. I go back and forth, but mostly shoot a Liberty
Longbow now. I’ll change again, I’m sure.
Back quivers, wood arrows, custom recurves and longbows! These items are the mainstays of traditional archery. Most people can make their own arrows and back quivers, but what about bows? Bows
are different. With a little information and basic tools, you can make your own bow. However, few
people start in traditional archery by making bows.
When people talk to me about bows, they often ask which bowyer to use and which bows to purchase. I have my preferences; read on you’ll find out what some of them are.
I don’t stock custom bows, although I do recommend them. Stocking bows in all the draw weights,
lengths and variety of options, ties up too much of my inventory money. I prefer to have you deal with
the bowyer and get exactly what you want without buying a stock bow from me that’s only “close” to
what you want.
I do carry used bows, both custom and manufactured. Check my Web site (www.archerypast.net) for
available bows.
Rules for Choosing a Custom Bowyer
1. Find out what your buddy shoots. If he likes the bowyer, and of course the bow, start with his or her
recommendation.
2. Call the bowyer. If you don’t like their attitude or answers, go to the next one on the list. I choose
whose bows I shoot by the relationship I have with the bowyer. There are many bows on the market
that are as good as the ones I use, but I know these guys. They’ll make good on warranties and options, and they will spend the time with prospective buyers.
3. I’m territorial. I shoot, hunt and work with bowyers in Oregon so I use their stuff.
4. Don’t buy a “paper bag” bow. Buy one you can be proud of owning and shooting, without having to
wear a paper bag over your head. I hear too many people say, “I’d like to shoot a brand ‘x’ bow, but
this is all I can afford.” Life is too short.
5. Make sure the bowyer pays the federal excise tax. Besides being the law, the Pittman Robertson excise
tax supports hunter and bowhunter education programs, wildlife habitat improvement and huntable
wildlife refuges. Support legitimate bowyers.

I think this tool works the
best of any on the market.
I still prefer to sand my tapers, but this works easily
and cuts an accurate nock
or point taper, especially
on soft woods. Comes
with screw-on guides for 5/16, 11/32 and 23/64
inch. Made from machined, anodized aluminum.
Here’s a tool for your
combination sander or
table saw that lets you sand
perfect tapers on the nock
or point. (Item # 370S
and 370TS). Item 370BT
& BTS are for sanding barrel tapers (both ends
of the shaft). Made of MDF (Medium density
fibreboard)
If the bowyer has a Web site, a link is available from my Web site. Otherwise,
use the site listed after the bowyer’s name.

 Check straightness. Naturally straight shafts
are my first choice. Straighten shafts with
slight warps.
 Cut wood and synthetics to length, and
taper wood for the nock and point. Sand
tapers to ensure they’re true, especially with
woods harder than cedar. The Tru-Center
works well on soft woods. The Woodchuck
works on all woods. Or make a jig for a sanding disk on a table saw.

6. Stain the shaft, then finish it. If not staining,
finish by dipping in a sealing clear lacquer
like Bohning Clear or a good brand of gasket
lacquer if not dipping. (I also dip aluminum
in clear after cleaning for a better bond with
Fletch-Tite, unless I’m doing crown dips.)
7. For crown dips, use the Little Dipper. Mark
the shaft where the crown dip will end (about
nine inches from the nock). Use a white dip
under all other colors. Thin and dip the first
coat of white. If using the same color, apply
the second coat while the first is still tacky,
about one minute later.

Feather Grinding System
Archery Past
Big & Little Dippers
This is a feather-grinding system that precision
grinds both the base and the side of the quill in
one setup, two passes. Great Northern’s Feather
Grinding System comes complete with a precision
jig, drum sander and instructional video. Simple
to use, the average operator can grind one feather
per minute. It handles both left and right wing,
turkey, goose and everything else you can get your
hands on. Requires a drill press capable of around
2000 to 2500 RPM’s. Extra sanding drums
available.
These dippers have a capacity of 1.75 pints for the
36-inch model and 1.5 pints for the 14-inch model. They feature a screw-on lid and pint reservoir
at the top that is safe for all lacquers. These tubes
will eliminate the need to refill the fluid after each
dip. The dip material may be stored in the tube.
Usually can dip 2-3 dozen before topping off.
Also available: A 1 x 12-inch tube. An economical way to crown dip. May require refilling after
each arrow. Molded bottom, cork for top.

6. Stain the shaft, then finish it. If not staining,
finish by dipping in a sealing clear lacquer
like Bohning Clear or a good brand of gasket
lacquer if not dipping. (I also dip aluminum
in clear after cleaning for a better bond with
Fletch-Tite, unless I’m doing crown dips.)
7. For crown dips, use the Little Dipper. Mark
the shaft where the crown dip will end (about
nine inches from the nock). Use a white dip
under all other colors. Thin and dip the first
coat of white. If using the same color, apply
the second coat while the first is still tacky,
about one minute later.

Feather Grinding System
Archery Past
Big & Little Dippers
This is a feather-grinding system that precision
grinds both the base and the side of the quill in
one setup, two passes. Great Northern’s Feather
Grinding System comes complete with a precision
jig, drum sander and instructional video. Simple
to use, the average operator can grind one feather
per minute. It handles both left and right wing,
turkey, goose and everything else you can get your
hands on. Requires a drill press capable of around
2000 to 2500 RPM’s. Extra sanding drums
available.
These dippers have a capacity of 1.75 pints for the
36-inch model and 1.5 pints for the 14-inch model. They feature a screw-on lid and pint reservoir
at the top that is safe for all lacquers. These tubes
will eliminate the need to refill the fluid after each
dip. The dip material may be stored in the tube.
Usually can dip 2-3 dozen before topping off.
Also available: A 1 x 12-inch tube. An economical way to crown dip. May require refilling after
each arrow. Molded bottom, cork for top.

Arrow Making Tools
Bows
Bows, According to Dave
Have you just started traditional archery? I recommend a used bow or one of the produced bows
on the market. If price is no problem, then by all means, call one of the custom bowyers and order what
you and the bowyer decide.
Longbow or recurve? If you’re coming from the dark side, then a recurve is easier to make the
jump—more center shot, semi-pistol grip and more mass weight. You’ll have fewer change-over problems. After shooting a recurve, or if you want to make a complete change, grab a longbow and you’ll
experience why many of us now shoot longbows more than we did 15 years ago. Lighter in the hand
and the romantic feel are the reasons I like the longbow. I go back and forth, but mostly shoot a Liberty
Longbow now. I’ll change again, I’m sure.
Back quivers, wood arrows, custom recurves and longbows! These items are the mainstays of traditional archery. Most people can make their own arrows and back quivers, but what about bows? Bows
are different. With a little information and basic tools, you can make your own bow. However, few
people start in traditional archery by making bows.
When people talk to me about bows, they often ask which bowyer to use and which bows to purchase. I have my preferences; read on you’ll find out what some of them are.
I don’t stock custom bows, although I do recommend them. Stocking bows in all the draw weights,
lengths and variety of options, ties up too much of my inventory money. I prefer to have you deal with
the bowyer and get exactly what you want without buying a stock bow from me that’s only “close” to
what you want.
I do carry used bows, both custom and manufactured. Check my Web site (www.archerypast.net) for
available bows.
Rules for Choosing a Custom Bowyer
1. Find out what your buddy shoots. If he likes the bowyer, and of course the bow, start with his or her
recommendation.
2. Call the bowyer. If you don’t like their attitude or answers, go to the next one on the list. I choose
whose bows I shoot by the relationship I have with the bowyer. There are many bows on the market
that are as good as the ones I use, but I know these guys. They’ll make good on warranties and options, and they will spend the time with prospective buyers.
3. I’m territorial. I shoot, hunt and work with bowyers in Oregon so I use their stuff.
4. Don’t buy a “paper bag” bow. Buy one you can be proud of owning and shooting, without having to
wear a paper bag over your head. I hear too many people say, “I’d like to shoot a brand ‘x’ bow, but
this is all I can afford.” Life is too short.
5. Make sure the bowyer pays the federal excise tax. Besides being the law, the Pittman Robertson excise
tax supports hunter and bowhunter education programs, wildlife habitat improvement and huntable
wildlife refuges. Support legitimate bowyers.

Martin Hunter

I think this tool works the
best of any on the market.
I still prefer to sand my tapers, but this works easily
and cuts an accurate nock
or point taper, especially
on soft woods. Comes
with screw-on guides for 5/16, 11/32 and 23/64
inch. Made from machined, anodized aluminum.
Here’s a tool for your
combination sander or
table saw that lets you sand
perfect tapers on the nock
or point. (Item # 370S
and 370TS). Item 370BT
& BTS are for sanding barrel tapers (both ends
of the shaft). Made of MDF (Medium density
fibreboard)
If the bowyer has a Web site, a link is available from my Web site. Otherwise,
use the site listed after the bowyer’s name.

Bow and Arrow Cases
Dave’s Sharpening Tips
#4240
For sharpening, I use a Nicholson #18 or a Mill Smooth file. If you have a
problem holding the correct angle, use the True-Angle, two-file system. After
reshaping the edge, I use an Arkansas Medium stone to remove all file marks.
Then I use a steel, carbide or ceramic hone to remove the “wire curl.” Finally, I
strop with leather. (I cover my sight window with leather just for this purpose.
Otherwise, I use the back of my armguard.) I use this process for two- and threeblade broadheads. On three-blade heads, I file two blades at a time.

Bow Quivers
Great Northern Professional
Quiver
Rick & Jerry at Great Northern are enthusiastic
supporters of traditional archery; they are especially interested in getting today’s youth involved.
Their quivers are lightweight and easy on–easy
off—one of the best for keeping the bow light.
All are five-arrow and weigh about eight ounces.
Specify left or right hand. The Longbow and
Adjustable use no-slip neoprene straps that attach
to the bow. Both will fit longbows. The Longbow
works well on self bows and the Adjustable on
recurves. The Quickmount bolts under the limb
onto any three-piece recurve; it removes without
having to unstring the bow. The Side Mount fits
on the side of any bow with threaded bushings. The
quiver comes with Number 10-24 and 1/4 inch,
20-knurled thumb screws for no-tool mounting.

Thunderhorn Quivers
The BOA models have a constricting rubber strap
to hold the quiver tightly to the bow. The Small
Fry is a 1-4 arrow model of the BOA style. These
quivers fit any bow—recurve, longbow or self
bow. The Two-Point quivers attach to the limb
bolts on any conventional limb bolt takedown recurve. The Sidewinder uses the threaded bushings
on the side of any bow riser. Everything on these
quivers is leather-covered. These quivers have
leather hoods, with a contrasting leather option.
The grippers are individual, so you can change
each quiver from a six-arrow to anything less by
removing arrow clips. The Plastic BOA and quivers are the same as their leather-covered brothers,
except for the price.

Dave’s Broadhead Facts
T
here are many choices for broadheads. I
recommend cut-on-contact broadheads that
can be re-sharpened. They must be re-sharpened
or touched up regularly and after each shot. If
you won’t put that effort into sharpening, use the
replaceable blade type, like the Muzzy Phantom.
I like three blades for overall flight and cutting
effectiveness. I use Eclipse 2 blade and feel the
penetration and cutting characteristics are just as
effective. Sharpening is easy on either type. Of
the few animals I have taken, I have used 3- and
2-blade heads. Whatever you shoot, they must be
sharp—scary sharp!

for trail shoots then sharpen for hunting.

ther than cresting
on an arrow, feathers
are the next best way to
dress up your arrows. Colors, styles of cut, spliced,
three or four fletch—all of
these choices are waiting
to be made. I prefer white
crown dip and feathers, so
I can see the arrows better
when they are in flight.
Choose a color that you
can see. Right or left wing? Contrary to some advice, you will not notice a
difference between right or left wing feathers unless you’re using extremely
sensitive equipment, which is not the case with traditional equipment. Good,
properly spined, heavy arrows, adequate feathers and the correct brace height
and nocking point will eliminate any arrow flight problems. All Archery Past

feathers available.

f you are using carbon or aluminum shafting,
skip to Number 4 on page 15. When using
wood shafts, you need to consider more than just
spine and weight.
1. Choose the type of wood. You may need to
research the type of wood shafts you want to
use. I prefer Port Orford Cedar because of its
straightness, strength, ease of working, good
stain qualities and of course, odor. Availability
is the problem with Port Orford Cedar.
2. Check for cross-grain and other imperfections such as knots, cracks and chrysals. I
prefer grain running the length of the shaft,
but that is rare today. I would stay at about
12-15 inches before the grain runs off the shaft
(crosses in 12-15 inches). Choose the best end
of the shaft for the nock end.

Dave’s Points About Wood Shafts
Choosing Your Spine: Longbows
There are some points to remember when choosing wood shafts, regardless
of the type of wood. Some of these points are common knowledge, some are
from my experience and that of my friends who use wood shafts exclusively
for hunting.
Wood shafts are a natural product; they may have some variations. Inspect
for cracks when making your arrows and especially after hitting a hard object
when shooting.
You may want to keep the arrow spine about the same as the weight of the
bow. These arrows have to bend around the bow a lot more since longbows
usually aren’t center shot. For a 60-pound at 28-inch longbow, start with a
55-60 or 60-65 spine. I shoot 60-65 pound tapered shafts from a 65 pound
27-inch draw Liberty Longbow. Again, shoot some and be sure.
Arrow Weight
Most shafts are spined but not weighed. Shafts may vary as much as 250300 grains in a box of a thousand. Theoretically, you could have that same
variation in a dozen arrows that are not matched. How close do they have to
be matched? As close as you need to have confidence in your arrows. Most of
us can’t shoot the difference of 30 grains or more. Mine? They’re matched to
the same degree that I sell them to you—plus or minus 10 grains or less. (In
comparison, a nock weighs about 15 grains.)
One ounce equals 437 1/2 grains. Most concerned bowhunters use as
heavy an arrow as feasible, usually about 8-10 grains for each pound of bow
weight. In the race for speed, lighter is thought to be better. For hunting,
heavier is more stable, more forgiving for that cold morning shot, quiets your
bow, and allows for exceptional penetration taking all things into consideration. Bare shafts can gain or lose weight from the time they are weighed.
When finished, they remain stable.
Be a knowledgeable traditional bowhunter. Weigh your arrows!
Spine
In most bows, 5-10 pound spine groups will work well. I prefer 5-pound
groups, especially from a longbow. Lighter arrows seem to have more flight
problems with spine and weight variation. There may be some variation between spine testers. If you want exact spine match to your shafts, buy enough
so you can do that. Or you can pay for someone to re-spine and match to the
shaft you have on their spine tester.
Straightness
Good wood shafts are straight and shouldn’t need much straightening.
Slight irregularities can be removed by bending the shaft in the opposite
direction of the bend, over the heel of your hand. Most wood can be
straightened easily, especially Port Orford Cedar. Norway Pine is very similar
to cedar in color and ease of straightening and is slightly heavier. Harder
woods, like some pines, fir, and the hardwoods, may take a little longer to
straighten. Some may have to be heated. I don’t use some of the tools that
smooth or flatten a side of the shaft to straighten it. I like my shafts round.
If you notice small perpendicular lines in the shaft near a bend, they may be
chrysals (stress marks around the shaft, across the grain). Chrysals indicate
that the shaft is broken. Discard it! Shoot only good wood arrows. Break
cracked arrows. (Better to break it than have it explode upon release.)
Choosing Your Spine: Recurves
Recurves are close to centershot; the arrow doesn’t have to work around
the riser much, so you usually have more leeway in choosing your spine for
recurves. Choose your arrow spine five pounds minimum over your bow
weight at your draw. Be aware that wood arrows are spined for a 28-inch
draw. For every inch over 28 inches you draw, add another 5 pounds. Likewise, for each inch under 28 inches, subtract 5 pounds. Example: A bow 70
pounds at 29 inches should use a 80-85 spine (bow weight = 70 pounds + 5
pounds for the extra inch over 28 inches + 5 pounds for good measure). It’s
best to shoot the spine and try it for sure. I shoot tapered 85-90 pound spine
out of a 65-pound, 27-inch Blacktail Recurve. Stiffer arrows last longer (unless you lose them) and can be heavier.

Details And Types of Shafts
The wood shaft market is changing, and it’s for the better. Hildebrand’s
Sitka Spruce shafts are getting better, if that was possible and are available
in a full 32” length. Douglas Fir from Surewood Shafts (formerly Oregon
Traditional Arrows) are back in production and are the best fir I’ve seen.
Most of the production is in 5/16” and 11/32” but 23/64” is also available
in the heavier weights. Rogue River Port Orford Cedar Shafts are under a
new owner and the shafts look good as well as the availability. They are only
available in tapered shafts. I still maintain a few of the old Acme’s as well as
Lodgepole and Norway pine and Ramin. Spines are limited in those selections so check before placing an order.
Premium
Premium shafts are hand graded, hand spined, (5 pound groups), and
weighed in groups of Plus/minus 10 grains or less, mostly less. Woods available as premiums are Fir, Spruce, ACME Cedar and Rogue River Cedar
Standard
Standard shafts are spined from the factory, but are weight matched and
graded by hand to the same specs as the premiums. These include spruce, fir,
ramin and some cedar. The only difference between Premium and Standard
shafts is labor for hand spining and weighing in closer groups. All will make
great arrows!
Sizes
Sizes are 5/16” in all woods for spines 35-39, 40-45; 11/32” for all woods
spined to 60-64 and some to 70-74; heavier weights in 23/64”. There is
some overlap so call with your preferences
Tapered Shafts
Tapered shafts are the same shafts as above, but tapered to your specifications, usually 5/16” or 9/32” on the nock end. Barrelled shafts, (actually a
double taper) are available, usually with an 11/32” point end.
Finished Shafts and Arrows
Finished shafts and arrows are available from all available shafts. Most
arrows are finished with Bohning products**, but gasket lacquer is also available. If you have a preference, please let me know. ** Remember: Repair
Bohning arrows with Fletch-tite, Gasket Lacquer arrows with Duco!
Other Shaft Options
Other shaft options include Carbon Express Carbon Heritage and Easton
Aluminum in Legacy and Game Getter. Of these, I prefer aluminum since
they come in more sizes, hold up well, cost less and can be easily fletched
or repaired, especially for youth arrows. They also accept the glue on nocks
and come in a variety of sizes to match bow weights with out adding heavier
points, inserts or weight tubes. Legacy (wood grain) available in 1916, 2016,
2018, 2020, 2117, 2216, & 2219 sizes. Game Getters are now black and
only available in 500 (2016), 400 (2117) and 300 (2317).
Carbon Shafts come in three sizes-150, 250 and 350. They may require
‘tuning’ to get the best flight. I do carry weight tubes and heavier points and
inserts. I can make a recommendation but determining what you need will
be ultimately up to you. I recommend inserts for the nock so you can use
regular glue on nocks rather than the small uni-nocks.
Treestand Basics According to Dave
I
have learned that there are three important
considerations when using treestands: safety,
location and comfort. To learn more about location, comfort, and safety, see my Web site www.
archerypast.net.
I sell treestands and accessories that have been
manufactured according to the Treestand Manufacturers Association (TMA) guidelines. There are
guidelines for treestands, restraining devices (belts,
harnesses and vests) and climbing aids such as ladders, steps and lineman or climbing straps.
Install your treestand in a live tree with no lean
while using a lineman’s strap. If both your hands
are free to work the straps, buckles and chains,
you will be more comfortable about working 20
or so feet off the ground. You’ll also do a better
job if you don’t rush. The same goes when you
remove the treestand.
I don’t use screw-in steps. They are illegal in
most public land forests; they give a false sense of
security, especially if they remain in the tree for
an extended period of time or if they are used in
thick-barked trees. Use strap-on steps or climbing
sticks (my preference). They come in 4-foot sections or as a single long ladder.
Once in the stand, secure yourself with a properly adjusted full-body harness. While a har
ness works fine by itself,
I’ve found that one of the
vest/harness combos is
more comfortable.
Don’t climb into the
stand with your bow and
pack. Use a pull rope to
bring your equipment
to the stand. (I use two
ropes—one for the bow
and another for the pack.)
The strap that hooks to Dave’s treestand in Alberta,
Canada while on a whitetail hunt
the treestrap (the treestrap with Dave Bzawy of Alberta
Wilderness Guide Service.
is the one that goes
around the tree above your
head) needs to hook easily so you can get in and
out of the tree. The treestrap also needs to be at
the correct height. When you’re sitting, it should
be snug, pulling up slightly on your back. The
treestrap will prevent you from falling far if you
fall asleep or slip while standing to shoot.
Other convenient accessories are hooks that
strap or hook to your treestrap to hold your pack
or bow. Adjust them so they’re easy to reach while
sitting. Bright Eyes, Glow Clips or other reflecting
tape or tacks will allow you to return to the stand

Double Bull Blinds
The Dark Horse
Hair Calf Tab
This blind is still the blind others try to compare to in quality and ease of set up. A great warranty
makes this a good investment. The new Dark Horse combines the Matrix view, now 180 degrees, with
the windows on the other half like the T5. The net also opens on the top for ‘no net’ viewing. It comes
in Ground Swat camo pattern. It has a 5’ X 5’ floor space, 6 feet 4-inch shooting diameter, 74” roof
height, roof zipper for ventilation and easy access zippered door opening.
Combine this with a double bull seat, either the small or large for an additional $20.00 (with blind
purchase only) and you have a comfortable and effective blind. This is a great way to introduce kids to
the patience needed to hunt by ambush. They can do a little squirming and not spook the animals. (I’d
be lying if I told you I haven’t slept in mine.)

Ground Blind Data with Dave!
•
•
Never surprise a deer with a ground blind.
Always net the windows.
To Brush or Not! – In thick areas, where it
is difficult to see beyond 50 yards, brush the
blind and make it disappear. When hunting a
thick spot where the deer gets its first look at
the blind from 30-40 yards away, the deer will
be surprised; the blind will spook it off. In
open areas where deer can see the blind from
100 yards away, set up the blind where the
deer want to be.

The Material – The purpose of using a blind
is to hide from an animal’s eyes, ears and nose,
as well as mother nature. The material wrapping your hide needs to be quiet, dark and
wind and weatherproof.
Camouflage – Ground Swat from Pattern
Masters is a wide open, non-specific camo designed from Mother Nature’s natural shapes.
Ease of Setup – The Double Bull internalframework is the only cam style on the market. It tightens the fabric, or you can rotate
the cam to tighten it if it stretches.
Rubber Bow Tip Protector
This item is not a leather
accessory, but it goes with
the leather tip protectors. Fits longbows and
recurves. Protects the tip
from abrasion. To keep
the string in place and
prevent losing the protector, I recommend punching a hole (see photo) to
fit the string through.

The Stealth Quiver
Heritage Hip Quiver
Singin’ Jack has been making these quivers in
Washington for years. Both the Stealth and
Hunter models are made from heavy latigo leather
with a strap going over the opposite shoulder of
the side the quiver is on. The Stealth is adjustable
for right or left hand. It is slightly smaller than the
Hunter, which is available in right or left hand,
not both. The Hunter also has a file pocket
on the side. Both work well with fanny packs
or back packs. Both have a foam hood to keep
broadheads sharp and come with a fleece fletch
cover and a 2-blade solo stalker, (see page 7). I
prefer the Stealth and use it for trail shoots.
Made of brown latigo, the Heritage quiver is
similar to those used by the Thompson brothers
and Pope & Young. Sturdy, quiet and functional.

A Note From Dave
When I started Archery Past in 1980, I sold spined, tapered and
finished Rose City and then ACME Port Orford Cedar shafts, and I
made custom leather archery accessories. Bill Sweetland (Sweetland
Compressed Cedar shafts) and Bob Brooks of Eugene were my arrow mentors. I made my first back quiver from the directions in the
1978-79 Alaska Bowmen, published by Jay Massey, Dick Hamilton
and Doug Borland. These guys were leaders in traditional archery,
although at that time it must have seemed like tradition was lost,
especially when making your own archery tackle. They were people I
looked up to then, and I still do now. I learned from them.
I’m still emphasizing teaching others to make their tackle.
And then having them teach another. Many of my friends and
acquaintances work with schools, clubs and events that have teaching seminars for adults and kids. There’s nothing like the feeling of
seeing a new archer make their first bowstring; or shooting their new
arrows they just finished. We need to pass on the skills others taught
us. I believe it’s the only way we’ll keep tradition alive in archery and
bowhunting.
And the definition of ‘traditional’ is changing; or at least for me
it is. It’s not always bad, but we need to show new shooters there is
an option to carbon arrows, or modular broadheads or even factory
2

V-42
made accessories. We need to make them feel welcome even if they
are only shooting a traditional bow. Then show them how we used
to do it. Just like Jay Massey, Bill Sweetland and others did for me.
Remember it is the attitude as well as the equipment.
As you may have noticed, prices, items and options on items
change weekly. As soon as a catalog is printed, there will be a change
from a distributor or supplier. I’ll try to honor prices as much as I
can, but sometimes it’s not possible. Wood shafts continue to be
the most volatile item with availability and specie of wood changing
the most. I now have Surewood Douglas Fir and Hildebrand Sitka
Spruce in all spines. Others as available will be stocked.
I’ve dropped all packs. Kathy Kelly packs, my favorites, as
well as some others will be on a ‘special order’ only. There are just
too many options in packs and everyone wants to feel and try it on
which doesn’t work well in a mail order situation.
And there is the internet. As long as I travel to as many shoots
as I do, being home to immediately answer internet orders doesn’t
always work. I’ll do it as soon as I can, but if you need it ‘yesterday’,
you may need to call a competitor. I’ll understand.
