I had fun chopping wild turkey feather and goose from my friend Drew with my lil' chopper.
Today I just put together a few arras:

Gold tips 55/75 cut at 28", yellow wrap, 100grs insert.
Lots of feathers, sweet arras :)

Nice work I am doing the same thing...better than scrambling in the springtime!!
Nice Manny......they will look good in a stump.... :biglaugh:
Very nice work Brother , I like them wraps :wavey:
Look good. I might have to grind some feathers tommorrow if we have power.
Very nice indeed! I love the classic look.
Manny, they turned out great my friend!
Thanks all!
This could not happen without Drew's feathers.
I loved chopping them, building the arras was even better!

Nice :thumbsup:
Looking very nice! What glue do you use for fletching?
They look nice. There is nothin like building your own arrows.

Looking good Manny. Easy to find if one does get into the weeds.
Nice looking arrows Manny love those turkey feathers............
Manny - great looking arrows!!!
Drew should not be able to lose those....even when flung at a turkey!
(at) being the important word
Well I think turkeys are lucky for now
That could change on a dime, I saw how Drew shoots
Those yellow wrap stand out very well :)
I have another batch of arras ready to be fletched with a white wrap. Natural turkey feather, snow, white wrap...We will wait for the spring before shooting them! :bigsmyl:

Here is one with a white wrap: Very classic

What brand exactly? I am asking this because I haven't been very lucky with super glue gel.
I used fastset gel from Arizona archery enterprises inc

Those are great Manny! Those may not cross the border as well as you patriotic arrows :readit:
Yes you have seen how Drew shoots, but have you seen him shoot AT a turkey? lol
no he hasn't and Nate hasn't either he was sleepin :rolleyes:
Hopefully I will witness the demise of a turkey by an arrow soon :)
We need the feathers to make more arras!
