Title: Pics of your customized carbons!!
Post by: SKITCH on March 30, 2014, 06:43:00 PM
WE see a LOT of really beautiful pics of wood arrows and they are amazing. Do many out there put the time in on their carbon arrows to produce the same beauty? I'm sure there have been pics before but let's see a few!  Maybe comment on your favorite way to work with them.

Thanks....

I never could figure out how to post pic, but I put some work into my easton trad axis shafts.

Removed the label with acetone, crested them up to match my bow woods and put some poly over the crest.

They don't feel like wood but are very pretty for a carbon, using zwickey glue on on the broad head adapotors .

Mine are "custom" because I do them myself, but they are nothing to show off. I take GT5575 black shafts, use acetone to remove the factory label, and glue on 2 white and 1 yellow feather...........and they are done.

I love looking at all the great work some of you arrow builders do, but just don't have the patience for it myself.

Ok, I am photo bucket challenged.
These are carbons I made up using custom wraps from One Stringer. I also use the cap dip and crest method on my friends arrows but no pics.

What's the deal, Patrick? No pix of your pink and black lasers? They worked pretty good out of my Timberghost. They don't look too shabby either!

I use a lot of wraps, but if I'm not too lazy still like to paint them up.  These are Easton Axis .400s:

Not the best photo of the arrows, but these are my daily shooters, Easton ACC 3-60s:

Last turkey season was cut short by my father's passing, so this year I reworked his Easton axis. They shoot great out of my whip, with pink being one of his favorite colors, they kind of came together this way. Now Dad's arrows will keep on hunting.

Here's some of the ones that i've done. The black one is painted and the rest of them are wraps.

Nothing fancy, just plain fletching and cresting on these GT traditional blems.  The white/red crested ones have been through the mill as 3-D arrows for several years. The feathers are soiled from hitting dirt so many times.
