hi all,

any one out there made a swiss arrow yet ?

Someone may want to put in links and perhaps short article sections on this topic in Dart (missile) and Sling (weapon)#Kestrosphendone.--Polyparadigm 19:53, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Cleanup[edit]

I cleaned up the article as best I could. Whether or not it's accurate, I'm not really sure. Googling for more information didn't particularly help, as all the hits are copies of this article.

I removed the article from the Archery category because Swiss arrows are not shot with a bow. (In that sense, they're not actually arrows.)

Also, I removed the seemingly redundant image Swiss3.jpg, seen below, from the article. It is now orphaned (with the exception of this page).

Are you retarded? An arrow is an arrow whether it is shot with a bow or not. Actually the Arrow was around BEFORE the Bow was invented.

Hi,

the instuctions on how to make a swiss arrow are in the history ogf the origanal article.

I be intereted if any one has made a swiss arrow our flew really well.

hi, i live in the uk and we've been making these for years. we make them about 35 inches long. a good throw is about 200m and hte longest iv seen is 226m (measured accurately). the trick to getting them this far is to make the flight vanes on the arrow as low as possible (unlike the arrow pictured) and realy WHIPPING the arm on the follow through to the throw. awsome fun. if you use a carbon arrowshaft adn fit broadheads they are pretty awsome

Eagle Annual #7 or #8, British, late 1950s, has pictorial instructions on making one, but I don't recall if it was called a "Swiss Arrow" or something else. I have the book buried somewhere and will look, and if anyone finds a scan online or in their library, that's where one reference will be.Mzmadmike (talk) 01:57, 4 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
