Title: Latest Batch
Post by: Cyclic-Rivers on July 21, 2013, 09:23:00 PM
I bought some pre-stained hardwood shafts on here a while back.  This is the result.


I was going for Retro yet somewhat visible.

Thanks everyone.

Pat, Ron and Mitch thanks for the nock offers.  I know speed nocks would look better but i want these for hunting and will take any advantage I can get to keep them on the string.

I want to add they all came out to 660 +/- 5 grains.  They are spined to shoot from my 45 lbs bows.  Hope thats heavy enough for deer   ;)       :p

I hope they break every one before the end of the weekend. That means I can scrounge the place for more shafts and start over   :bigsmyl:
