Title: Some New Art
Post by: Grey Taylor on February 05, 2012, 03:26:00 AM
For some time I've had the idea to try a particular design on some arrows.
I finally got them done.
These arrows represent a place I never went to but quite a few of my friends did.
Those who went will recognize them.

Thanks for your service.

Very nicely done, Grey.  I've played with that cresting myself and my next arrows will have it.  Love the camo crown.  Thanks for the thought.   :thumbsup:

Those are beautiful... and perfectly timed.  I have been toying with building a cresting set up... and was just toying with OIF/OEF set.... I almost chickened out if OneStringer would have had them already. If the snow ever settles in well I may have to get after it.

Thanks for everyone's comments!
I've never seen this idea used on arrows and I'm surprised, and pleased, to see that it's been done before.
I'll tell you what, that camo was a pain in the rear to paint. I'm not sure if I really captured the iconic tiger stripe camo but it didn't turn out too bad.

Very nice job. I think you did a pretty good job on the camo and yes, it does bring back memories. Christmas '68 to Christmas '69.

My old brain told me that Tiger Stripe didn't have any brown in it; just green and black, but I checked some websites and I disremembered what the stuff looked like. That is probably not the only detail I have forgotten in 40 plus years. Anyhow, those arrows are about the coolest I have seen.

Now that is a fine idea.  I like it.  I'm not one to crest arrows, but my cousin wants a set.  He's been twice to Iraq, so I might have to do some ICM for him.  Forget the stupid digital pixal camo though.

Thanks for sharing with us. Real nice job. I do the same ribbon on some of my arrows also. Had some Wraps made for my carbons with the ribbon and USMC EGA on them. They do stand out with the red and yellow fletch.
