Hey all.

Just finished my first dozen arrows.

From unfinished shafts, full length feathers, and a chopper.

I'm pretty happy with them.
Yes, there are a couple in there that are a little shorter. They were a little lower spine and needed to be shortened.

I couldn't have done it without info I've picked up here.

Thank you!

Thank you Sir.

During the making I thought " What a pain this is!"

Now, after getting them all tuned and ready there's a certain pride I'll be able to take to the woods.

It's worth it.

lol..Just received some shafts for my Wife's Mother's day present.

Mine were a practice run.
She wants purple shaft/feathers/nock.

Our kids' school color is purple. Otherwise I don't think she'd ever want that.

So I gotta spend some nights in the work room real quick-like....nuts..lol

Thanks for the compliments everyone.
The info here made it happen.

Yes I did.
I used a mix of black aniline dye mixed with methanol with a little black beechem layout fluid added in to thicken it up a tad.

Thanks for all the nice compliments.

Not that the arrows are all that great or anything but it is a small testament of what can be learned here at tradgang not to mention the confidence that is inspired by the ole..if he can do it I can do it mentality.

This really is a great site.
Come to think of it..I need to send my contribution...lol

Thanks again tradgang and members. :thumbsup:
