I have a dozen that are like the 3d and 4th from the right.
I am wondering, fletch the dark end or lite end?

I am thinking of making them into some 'classy' looking arrows.

I'm open to ideas,thoughts.

What do you folks consider 'classy'?

just "fletch and shoot"..cap and decorate??

colors, barred.... they will get 2-5" RW feathers; or not...  

C'mon, add yer thoughts, none of them are wrong on this one!!

If you fletch the light end, they'll appear to be footed.

Might I also add that you should probably put your nock in the best end according to the grain.

These are by no means the final product. Just some ideas I had...

Looking at your photos, I would like the dark end fletched myself.

I think either one will work. Each option will give a different effect, but they'll both look good. At this point I'd fletch the straightest end.
