Excellent advice for those who build their own arrows or repair the ones you shoot:

I wrote an article several years ago for a magazine about making my own wood arrows. The president of True Flight happened to read it and noticed that I used their feathers from the photos I had in the piece. He contacted the editor of the magazine to get my address and sent me a big box of all sorts feathers as a thank-you for inadvertently advertising their products. That's pretty good customer service to my way of thinking.

Wow Darren, your starting to remind me of Ron (Stay Sharp), he does a little bit of everything also. So you stickbow hunt, do leathercrafting, and write. And I'm thinking I remember you doing some bluegrass picking or singing one??

Yep, he posted an excellent video here of him picking AND singing bluegrass...did a damn fine job, too! If we ever have a rondy I'm inviting him as the entertainment!

I have heard that but no evidence as of yet, someone has got to post a video link! I can only remember Darren singing, he may have picked also but I don't remember.
