This is a very special set, for a guy (Rob) in memory of his daughter Willow.
Three willow shafts, with a heavy taper to keep the weight up. This particular willow (goat willow) isn't far off normal weight anyway, but benefits from slightly more weight than usual. 30" shoulder to nock.
Split inserts fitted with horn using hide glue.
7.5" swan fletchings bound with undyed silk into a compound of wax, tallow and copper verdigris.
A different head is fitted to each shaft - one 1/2" fire-welded Type 16, one 1/2" MoL Type 8 and one 1/2" MoL Type 7.
