Hello this is my first time capping & a little cresting with paint & like your opinions on how I did.
The main color is a very light Pink Krylon to help me find my lost arrows when they don't know where the target is & the crest line is maroon Testors along with my always nock ring "as I call it" I crested them by hand instead of using a bench & machine.

Looking good Eugene!!
Nice case. Where did you get it?
Good Job Eugene they look very nice!
That will work good luck :thumbsup:
Bud B; the case is actually a MTM Arrow Plus case that I modified for my T/D Recurve.
Got the idea from another Trad Ganger "forgive me I forgot his name" & just changed a few areas to suit the Recurve limbs.
Eugene,
Nice arrows and the case is a great idea for a travelling man.
those look real good.
Very nice-Hap
They look good. great job
Not much prettier than a new puppy or a fresh set of arrows. Nice job those are sharp.
Nice
Very nice job. Just finished a dozen of Gold Tips fletched with barred feathers. I took off the graphics with 600 steel wool and Borax powder. Hard to tell they are carbon.
Very nice. I have a dozen GT shafts, feathers, tape and a Bitz inbound right now. I'm tracking its slow progress across the country now. I'm going with plain whites, but I hope mine come out half that nice.
I'm curious about the capping. (Yes, I will employ the search mechanism...)
Doh! I didn't mean capping, I meant footing. But I got it.
Nice looking arrows. I did notice that you don't have much twist to your feathers. Do you shoot an offset or are they straight? I shoot hard RW helical which is nearly opposite but would love to hear more about your reasons.
Nice set up

I have a RW helical clamp for my Bitz but for the most part I've had great success with just ofsetting the feathers even with the big Woodsmans up front.
I offset mine by just adjusting the clamp over a shaft where the lead edge of the feather is almost off & the tail edge is the same but on opesite side.
Looking good!
