The Econ-1 arrows are a FANTASTIC VALUE for those who are on a limited
budget but still want an original flint point made by an American
flintknapper! They are 'econ'omy arrows with a flint point for that
attractive look.
The
standard style (noted with #1 in the picture) is the bare shaft with a
yellowish color because they are expensive Birch shafts. The standard
Econ-1 arrow comes with no shaft stain or paint, two plastic feathers
or vanes (one blue and one yellow), and SPIRIT WIND's fastest-made,
cheapest flint points, while available. The flint points on these
arrows are styled after, and look like, most imports you will see at
tourist traps. They are similar to flint points other sellers of
arrows are CLAIMING to make, however, rest assured that each point is
made one-at-a-time right here in Texas by SPIRIT WIND's very own
Extreme Flintknapper, Robert Killgo. The points will vary in size, as
shown in the pictures, but every effort will be made to get points
close to the same size within one order. Please note that these points
are our "fastest made" points and some will have slight curves to
them, the thickness will vary to each point, and the size, color, and
shape will vary to each point as well. Lastly, please note also that
points made by other knappers, imported or not, will be substituted as
needed and will also vary as stated above. If you want flint points
SPECIFICALLY MADE BY ROBERT KILLGO, please be sure and make a clear
note with your order so we can be sure you get his points only, but
understand that could cause a delay in receiving your order if we are
currently out of his.
The arrow
pictured with the #2 is the Econ-1 with requested accomplishment
bands. When accomplishment bands are requested on these arrows, the
shafts will be stained to help the painted bands stand out better. The
painted bands in the picture are Double-stripe accomplishment bands
representing Bobcat, Webelo, 12 Webelo activity pins, one compass
point, and the Arrow of Light.
If desired,
the plastic feathers can be replaced with REAL feathers. One dyed a
yellowish/gold and one dyed a royal blue. The REAL FEAHTERS are
already trimmed when purchased to a style just like the plastic ones.
