Bought some copperhead arrow wraps from Onestringer.com (sponsor here).
Before I start in on my arrows, I'd like see photos from anyone who has done some.
I'll post a couple later when I get out of work.
Here were my arrows I took to Africa in 2011

Awesome guys! Keep 'em coming!
The bottom arrow is real Copperhead skin. The others are Rattlers.

Couple St Judes arrows from years past...I do not use fake skins for any of my work.

ok, heres my problem. I have not run across a place with those skinny snakes.
Nice stuff guys.
God bless, Steve
Wow Charles!!! Amazing! Never even saw anything like that before! Beautiful arrows, thanks for posting them!
Like Charles I only use real skins. I actually buy my skins from Charles too.
Too cool! These are gorgeous arrows.
Wow! After seeing all these beautiful examples, I'm a little embarrassed to post my turkey hunting arrows.

Mike, how did you get the clear portion of the shaft into/onto your arrow? Looks amazing!
Why do I feel the urge to find a big, long stick and whack the heck out of some arrows???

Only the guy who bought it gets to know that answer. It did take me quite a while to figure out how to get it done (better part of a month every evening if I remember correctly).
very cool
