Outstanding Surewood Shafts from Braveheart Archery (I didn't hardly have to straighten any of them), MinWax stain front and back, with Sharpie cresting, and a wiped on (4 times) MinWax Urethane sealer....steel wooled after each coat. They are flat, dull, and not shiny at all. I think this may be my "official pattern".... ;)

The critters will be lineing up to get shot with those arrows, very nice.

Thanks. The pics don't show it well, but the front 1/2 are a chestnut brown, the back end are a golden oak. Kinda subtle, but I think they are pretty.

Nothing wrong with meat/potatoe arrows Moleman. I shoot carbon a lot!

I'll be shooting some 7595 gold tip traditonals. Still trying to get them to fly just right. I think I finally hit the magic point weight today with 250 grains plus 100 grain brass inserts. For a total of 750 grains. :goldtooth:

Since I did not get even one shot last year, my 2012 arrows are the same as my 2011. :(

I'll be using these footed beauties - they used to be some real ugly, battered arrows I had laying around until Matt Gundock (Magnus) was kind enough (as it was more work than building new ones!) to take them on and refinish them for me!
They fly like darts out of this 62 Kodiak - and they hit like a sledge hammer too!

Killy, what is the design between the crests?
Is it painted on, decal, wrap.........?
Will

Post by: Killdeer on June 28, 2012, 11:50:00 AM

That is hand painted. Kind of a fake Persian script/floral effect.

Thanks Roger. :thumbsup:

Full length trueflights from nocking point.
T-hawk profile lil-chopper from nocking point.

Then I painted the black pattern with some dye I made up.

I like yours too.
I almost went with using white and red.
I like the simple crest.
Some arrows just get too fancy in my opinion.
Just thought I'd try something different with the green...not quite sold on it yet..lol
..but they fly nice, and that helps me like em..

Killy,very unique. I'm going with a yellow theme with my next set..........albeit much simpler.

Post by: Brad Arnett on June 28, 2012, 12:20:00 PM

There are some beautiful arrows shown here.....mine don't quite measure up in the looks dept. I have AD Trad Lites, 35/55 GT's and 55/75 GT's. These all shoot the same out of my 55# MOAB inside 20yds, so any number of them will be used this year. Most likely though It'll be the AD's, which are the dark shafts in the pic. I might end up fletching some of them with pink, I sure like it when it comes to visibility.

Mr. Lamb, your quiver in the center looks exactly like mine after last years squirrel season! Small price to pay for a few squirrels and the enjoyment of trying to get them. Chasing tree rats are one of my favorite kinds of fun :campfire:

Hmmm, I hope there was squirrel pot pie on the menu last year Charlie. Either that, or you best train your squirrels to jump in front of your arrows in a more effective fashion. ;)

Nice work Roger. It's fun stuff making up arrows out of wood. It's good for the soul.

Here are my 2012 arrows. Snag put a 10" taper on the back and did the staining/cresting. All I did was chop some feathers and fletch them. I shot a bear this spring with one, antelope are next, I hope. Oh, they are PO cedars.

These are my arrows for 2012. My good buddy Dave (DirtyBird) made these for me and crested them with copperhead skins.

And some solid black cedars I threw together for hunting out of the double bull this year. Shafts from Magnus.

Post by: pauljr on July 07, 2012, 10:21:00 AM

Very nice, Im building a dozen right now. Surewood shafts from Snag. I think these are gonna be plain Jane but with the quality of the shafting they will be deadly.
