those arrows look very nice,   with barred I like a the classic look, the selfnocks and footings meathead your arrows are stunning and I'm picturung them on the shelf of my selfbow,,

those fletchings are they cut higher than normal like a banana almost or are they store bought?

if you make up sets for sale PM me.

Absolutely nothing classier looking than barred fletch. Beautiful arrows.

                                                  Good Hunting,

No doubt, barred feathered arrows are nice to look at and shoot. Personally, I prefer bright colored feathers when handcrafting my own arrows because in the sometimes low-light conditions that I find myself hunting in like a Canadian spruce bog where black bears hang out or an Adirondack cedar swamp where bucks like to skulk around, I find that I can visually track my brightly fletched arrows better under those low-light hunting conditions. Also, a 10"  cresting of bright white, yellow or orange at the nock end aids in finding arrows that have missed their mark...if that should ever happen.

I like the bright colors also and it's hard to make a bright barred feather.  This is the best I have come up with. Two barred and one solid color.  (http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s64/GordonJabben/P1000667_zps1be9f366.jpg) (http://s149.photobucket.com/user/GordonJabben/media/P1000667_zps1be9f366.jpg.html)
