Frugal tips or cheapskate advice

Heres a place to add any ideas on how you save money on archery gear.:d

 

I mostly look for my arrows till I find them and shoot em again rather than buy new ones.

 

If you shoot with a Tab, cut your own from leather, cheap and easy! Like I said before I picked up a piece of scrap leather from Tandy Leather for $5.00 and got 7 tabs out of it! The perfect thickness and not a big deal to trim them up to the perfect size! I always have a few extra tabs in my quiver!

 

I cut my own tabs, make my own arm guards, cut my feathers, build my arrows, make my strings, tip protectors and blunts. There's probably more but that off the top of my head.

 

Or use your deer hide after It's tanned, works well but It's not super thick by no means.

 

I buy full length feathers and by cutting them at 4.5" long I am able to easily get two fletchings out of each feather. That cuts the cost by 50%.

Using a feather burner allows me to create my own feather design.


I make my own knives from band saw blades from the factory where I work. That's not so much because I'm cheap but more to do with the fact that they're better knives.

My frugal tip. Just tell you wife what you want to buy, and she will cure the bug for ya.

 

My homemade version of a Delta quiver.
Made from an old CX arrow shaft and an old Bear quiver.

 

Thats no joke. SWEETHEART I was looking at some bows today and ...... NONONONONONO dont even think about it you already have one why do you need more, I mean you cant even shoot the one you have worth a crap, I can out shoot you. You know WE could spend alot more time together if you would just ditch the whole bow thing alltogether. :smash:

If in doubt, dont ask thats my 2 cents.

 

Thats why its always better to ask forgivness instead of permission. :d
