Nice work. I learned to use metallic colors to separate my colors to really make them jump. Would look great on yours too. What stain is that?

Thanks for the tip, Kevin. I will definitely try metallics in the future.

Looks good to me!

I've shot with you though, and I know first hand that no matter the crest color/width/design, those arrows can find the 10 ring.

You've inspired me to give some wooden arrows a try this summer!

Hope all is well Sir!

gold and silver

Thanks, Blaine. I've committed myself to shooting only wood arrows through my longbow this year. I also want to hunt with wood. Everything is good my way. All the best to you, your dad and family!

No, sir. I selected the crest colors based on which supply of feathers I had the most of. LOL.

The reason I asked; I'm part Irish and am just getting into cresting myself...I had a similar scheme in mind based on the flag of Ireland. Your post confirmed it...it would look pretty good!
