SUMMARY:TRADITIONAL  ARROW  MAKING
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nDude on right\, discusses a new traditional arrow made by Paul Campbell.\nSaturday\,  July 4\, 10 a.m.\, TRADITIONAL ARROW MAKING \n$65  ($45 for seniors and students) \n  \n  \nBUSHCRAFT SKILLS \nThis is one of the fundamental bushcraft skills that all hunter-gatherers needed to know.  You might make a new bow every year\, but you had to make arrows all the time. \nIn this class\, you will learn the basic parts of the arrow\, and how an arrow can be very simple\, or more complex. \nYou will learn at least two common methods that arrows were made in the past. You will learn each step of making the traditional arrow\, and then each student will make one. You will learn all the steps along the way\, from selection of wood\, shaft straightening\, to adding the nocks\, points\, and feathers. \nBring your knife\, and fine files if you have them. Otherwise\, tools will be provided. \nWhat’s more important?  The bow\, or the arrow?  Obviously\, the arrow\, since it is the projectile that flies through the air.  It must be straight\, and properly aligned. \nNearly every society of the past used archery for hunting\, and that meant LOTS of arrows.  You’ll learn that there are several ways to make an arrow that will shoot straight\, and you will make at least two. \nAgain\, bring whatever tools you might have. \nCost is $65\, with a senior and student rate of $45. \nBe sure to RSVP. LOCATION 2.  Hahamongna Watershed Park\, on Pasadena’s west side\, bordering with La Canada. Enter the park from Oak Grove and Foothill\, and drive into the park\, staying on the upper road (do NOT make that left turn and drive downhill)\,  until you see the outdoor  bathroom.  Park there. \n  \n \n  \n  \nCopies of books by Nyerges and Paul Campbell will be available. \n \n
