Please explain how to make a simple dowel arrow with duct tape fletching part 3

now that you've gone ahead and you've traced cut your lines you can see I've got some nice fletching here so what we're going to do is we're just going to finish it up by using electrical tape you could use duct tape you want to go and overlap the fletching on the bottom about an eighth of an inch and what I'm doing actually is I'm imparting a little bit of a twist you can see a little bit of a twist to the fletching here so this is the way I do it I'm right-handed so I go guess you call that counterclockwise so if you're left-handed you go clockwise however you like this is what I find to be the best for me and then you want to go on the top and you don't really need to overlap at all on this you want to go in the opposite direction and you want to bring your wrap up a little bit if you can see you actually want to wrap just underneath the nock this is going to help reinforce the nock and keep it from splitting because the nut could split if you didn't reinforce it because it's just a notch and a piece of wood so here we go and I finished fletching you can see that okay now our arrows almost finished except for one main consideration and that's the point so there are a couple things you could do one way you could do this and if you're going to be shooting indoors the cardboard boxes a good way to do it is to take a pencil sharpener and actually sharpen this point here and then what you could do is heat it over a fire or with a heat gun just to char the wood and to reinforce that hardness give it a light sand and then you're good to go you can shoot into soft targets like cardboard boxes and if it ever gets dull you just put in the pencil sharpener again and you're good to go now what I'm going to be doing is if you wanted to use this as more of a stump shooting our outside points tend to get lost they like to bury themselves under grass and it's hard to find them and just keeping the points dull like this you know they you can actually have breaks down the chef's so what I like doing you can pick up just about any any spent Brown make sure that it doesn't have any primer in it so as long as it will fit over the shaft that's what you want to go this is actually a steel ak-47 round what you want to do is you just want to force it over the end of the arrow you could use glue but after a couple of shots this is going to be pretty much a permanent bond so here we go so this is this type of point is good for outdoors because it doesn't have a tendency to bury into things and if you're shooting this out of say a 40 to 50 pound bow it'll still stick in most targets so if you're shooting a cardboard or hay bale it'll stick in just fine so there it is here's your Harrow and just because I was going to show you guys to finish with beeswax all you do is you take your beeswax and you just rub it up and down the arrow shaft and you're just going to be getting a light coat of beeswax on here now I don't like doing it first because it makes it kind of hard for the tape to stick if you're using tape and then get your knot area remember what you do you take a paper towel or right you just go ahead and you buff it so there you go here it is I finished backyard shooting our backyard fun our so yeah now if you wanted to put this through a heavier vote say over 65 say over 50 pounds I would step up to a 3/8 inch dowel this was a 5/16 inch dowel if you wanted to do for really small kids bows you could use quarter of an inch as well so there it is thanks for watching
