Title: Autumn Orange Arrows with pics
Post by: ArkyBob on May 22, 2011, 06:08:00 PM
I just finished building some autumn orange 2018's for the upcoming hunting season.  The wraps and nocks are more blue than the picture shows but I really like the way they turned out.  There's just something really cool about autumn orange.

They are 30" from groove of nock to back of point.  Total weight is 640gr using Zwickey Delta broadheads and adding lead to the insert.  I hope to put one through an elk in Sept. in Colorado and maybe a deer or two here in Arkansas.  Let me know what you think.

I love 'em Bob.
Perfect specs for me and my bow. You can send 3 of them to me and I'll see how they do on a Montana elk, if you'd like to know.

Larry, they are not still available.  I bought some last year from the classifieds here and was the winning bidder on 6 from last year's St. Judes aution.  I'm down to 10 shafts left and I'm guarding them heavily.  The feathers came from turkeys that either I killed or friends killed and were sent to Stringstretcher to grind.  He did a great job.

Yeah, 2018 Autumn Oranges are hard to come by now, been searching for a source for a couple years without much luck.

My 2114's are protected like gold. Started shooting those many years ago after a recommendation from the late, great Jack Howard.
