okay guys, hunting season is virtually upon us! For those of you out there who hunt with wooden arrows, let's see your setup including the broad head..!! Just curious to see how subdued or vibrant your arrows are! Bright fletching to see the arrow flight and impact point better, or keep your fletching muted for camouflage purposes..?? just love to see wooden hunting arrows with traditional glue on broadheads...!! if I could figure out how to post pics on here, I would show three or four sets that I have done...!! looking forward to seeing these..!!!! I am Not really computer challenged, but photobucket has driven me crazy...???....:-D
Doug Fir from Surewood Steve...Top arrows I'm shooting out of my LH Fedora and my White Traditionals will be shot from my RH Kempf longbow.

Duplicate post, sorry.
Pretty subdued here. Some of Snag's finest in my opinion. Real turkey feathers, surewood shaft. I love how they quiet down my bow. But, I think my next ones will have red fletching on them.

these are great so far! Loving it.... anybody have any more?
I don't have many picks of my arrows with broadheads too, these sure woods are made by my buddy Treekiller in Oregon he cuts and stains his own turkey feathers been getting arrows from him for a long time.

Here's what I'll be hunting with this year courtesy of Gary Hall (D&M Custom Arrows). Gary normally doesn't make wooden arrows, but he made me these beauties as a return gift for a bow I made for him. I don't have any pics of broadheads on them, but they are now tipped with Magnus vented 2 blades.

Douglas fir (Surewood) and Stos or Magnus II heads. This year I'm using a three edge Mowoc Dot.

Sometimes they break when the deer falls on them or runs past a sapling and the shaft snaps. It's worth it. They're satisfying to make.

Sockrsblur, those are beautiful! :archer:
I'm no good at posting pics, but I make my hunting arrows as bright as possible. I have some wood arrows that are painted yellow front to back, with yellow nocks and yellow fletchings. I like to see where my shot goes. We have some of the most nervous deer I've ever see around here, but I use an Arrowmaster so my arrows are hidden except for the one on the string. If a deer sees that, I'm busted anyway.
Thanks Pat, I'm real proud of them. If I can put one through a deer this fall I will be ecstatic lol I'm using the ted fry sinew backed bow I bought from you to launch them...

Good luck with the elk... I'm following you :)

Very cool, indeed
You guys make beautiful arrows.

Mine are pretty much plain, but I made 'em myself for the most part and they work. I've come to like the 4-fletch with the 4" shield feathers - they clear the bow easily on low-fistmele bows and it doesn't matter which way you put them on the string. The Zwickey Deltas have never failed me yet...

I like 3 Rivers Hunter's Arrows with Woodsman elites on them. They look great and fly like a field point.
Sockrsblur, those are some really cool arrows!
These are mine for this year. The shafts are red balau from Forrester Wood Shafts. They are the best shafts I have ever purchased; tough, tight grained and straight. The broadheads are 200 grain Ace Super Express. The fancy stuff on the shafts I did with a Flame Crester kit from Shriver Archery.

Thanks Darren. I remember seeing your arrows before, in fact I saved pictured of them and looked up the flame crester to see what it was. I really like them, never saw anything like it. :thumbsup:
Here's a set of Surewood Douglas Firs I made up for this season. Working on another dozen now. Using Zwickey Delta Heads.

Wow! There sure is some talent being displayed here! Well done guys.
Pretty stuff, need to make some up myself. Using 2020 Easton wood grains right now. 160 grain Magnus Mag I up front.
