Title: Went PINK
Post by: lpcjon2 on January 08, 2010, 09:20:00 PM
Well on my second attempt at dipping and cresting I went pink.The crown is metallic gold and all the painting was done without a cresting machine.One day I will be able to get one.   :coffee:

Very Nice. I also like Pink. My opinion on fletching is that if my arrows can't be seen from Space, they aren't bright enough. I hate losing arrows.

I, too, like metallic paints for my caps. I have some silver ones I made with black hens and a white cock---Raiders colors, love that stuff.

Pink is my favorite too. Great job on the arrows. We don't need no stinkin' crester!!    "[dntthnk]"   But if you ever hit the jackpot and want to buy the ultimate crester, this is the one.  http://www.badgerarrow.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=21&products_id=118&zenid=aaddd4398a3981ae5e277105b404d331

Been shooting pink for a long time. Take a lot of ribbing but when they ask where I hit a deer, I know without a doubt. Every mans favorite color!

Pink feathers RULE. I take a lot of heat from my shooting buddies, but on the 3D course or on a hunt, they just can't be beat. I can always see them fly, can see where they hit, and can find them when they stray from their intended course. I don't get to fancy, just pink feathers on gold tips or heritage shafts.

Dave, when you have as little skill, craftsmanship, or talent as I do, you concentrate more on function and not form.    :thumbsup:

Breast Cancer
4 years ago my wife, also an archer, underwent a radical double masectomy and a further year of treatments I found a lighter 35lb bow for her and fletched up several dozen "BRIGHT" pink for her. I currently fletch pink in support of breast cancer survivors.

Jim. I don't know about "lack of skill." Those Raineman Strings look pretty good to me. How about a flo orange and purple to go with those shafts!!   :D  

Come to think of it, since we're shootin pink, we better not shoot together at the range anymore. Might get some suspicious looks.   :rolleyes:

Post by: Hatrick on January 09, 2010, 10:05:00 AM
Papa Smirf, I sure hope your wife is doing OK now. My mom had to have a masectomy as well. The first time I fletched with pink it made me think of her.

Stiks, those fades are really cap wraps I ordered specifically for this look. Yes...I cheated. The cresting is mine though.

I liked the pink fletching.  It's highly visible, but alas, I have 3 feathers left of the big bag I had.  I've got white and natural barred now, but I believe I like chartreuse and pink better.

I went pink once.  See the pink arrow?  I had a bunch of them one time.  That must have been the last one left.
