Let me see some of your arrow wraps. I am ready to make up a set of arrows for fall and need some good ideas. Thanks, Scott

all are wraps from onestringer!!!
What did you glue the feathers on with. Have you tried the bow limb covers? Particularly the Copperhead skin.
I just bought a Bitz jig with a RT helical clamp and fletched my 1st arrow fletched with feathers. I think it turned out GREAT. I used 4" Chartruese Barred Parabolic Trueflight feathers and Chartruese Onestringer arrowwraps. Im very impressed with the Bitz jig...Ive used a Grayling jig in the past and I bought a Bohning Blazer Helix jig about 2 yrs ago and It works GREAT for my 2" Blazers for my compound but it only fletches 2" vanes.I LOVE the Bitz jig for feathers, it put a super nice helical on my 4" feathers. Ill post a pic later.
Yes with the copper heads from onestringer, this is on my old monark longbow! (http://i320.photobucket.com/albums/nn339/JDCOWLES69/P1010010.jpg)

I really like those blue arrows, I use onestringer wraps too, but looks like I may have to place another order....
Paul Bruner once said he was part of a study and that they found that blue, ecspecially baby blue was the easiest color to see in an outdoor setting. The eye picked it up the quickest of all. Shawn

I have a friend that claims that the reason is so easy to pick up in the outdoors is that in the fall woods, there is very little that is that color. Lots of leaves/plants in the red/orange/yellow range, but everything that has blue flowers is gone in fall.
here are a few

Nice arrows and even a nicer looking bow....
I love yellow myself
Yellow has been my standard for a long time. Made up a few pink ones also, but really liking those blue ones. Need to do with the double dogs for sure, due to fading where my fingers rub the shaft...
