Arrow cutting and squaring

Post by Carnivorous »

I am looking to get 6 Zombie slayer arrows cut & squared down to 16.5" and aluminum inserts installed. I am near Windsor Ontario. I called Carls archery & he wants nothing to do with Black eagle arrows??

I am wiling to ship the arrows out if needed but would like to keep it local if possible.

I am preparing them for my Micro... :)
A touch of frost has heightened your awareness and your heart steadily beats in anticipation. Your senses are suddenly alert to the movement on the forest floor and you realize that the moment of truth is at hand.

If you order from Boo (Don Katsumi) he will cut to the length you want and ship them to you.

Why? Does he want nothing to do with BE arrows? And won't cut them down? Does he not charge for this? Just curious.

Hope you can find someone local to do it for you. I am in MI and would be willing to help but I bet shipping wouldn't be worth it. Did he say why he didn't want to cut Black Eagles?

I just don't understand some shops. This is probably why, much to the delight of my family and friends, I have a complete pro shop in my shop. If you were in the area I'd happily help you out but unfortunately, shipping to the other side of the country would probably cost about as much as the arrows. As mentioned previously, check with Boo. Good luck.

I took 6 of mine to my local shop and I might as well cut them at home. The guy took 20 min and not two were the same length. He blamed the saw. :roll: I brought them home and took ten min fixed them up with my Dremel and ASD. I did get go fondle the Micro again though :D

I have an apple arrow saw, the same as most shops and I just can't wrap my head around why it seems so challenging to cut ANY arrows???????? If all are the same length, which they almost always would be, it literally takes two to three minutes to cut a dozen shafts. :?

Dan (Xcalibur) fixed my Arrows for me awhile back and did an awesome job! Even Flecthed all 4 at no cost. Maybe post across the Border might be a factor.

Jeff, look up Gerome Atkin's archery in Woodslee. It like a 10 min drive from you. He's good with arrows.
