Six Mary Rose arrows (MR82A1892/9) in Populus tremula with tapered horn inserts, swan fletchings, red silk and verdigris compound with Winchester M2 heads ___________
Six 3/8" birch arrows for a 70lb bow with green and white feathers and hand forged Type 5 practice heads ___________ Six 3/8" birch arrows for a 110lb bow with red and white feathers and Type 5s ___________ This is a nice example of arrowshaft size relating to draw weight, as there's still an odd belief that once you hit 90 or 100lb in draw weight you suddenly need whacking great 1/2" arrows.
