45-50 spine, 28" to bop, Douglas Fir and fly like feathered missles. I just have to get used to shooting the shorter arrows compared to my full length Easton carbons, but they're shooters for sure!

Well I was shooting some pretty nice group therapy last night at the indoor range and blew the nock off of one of my new arrows. These arrows are as good as I could have asked for. I just need to quit shooting groups!

I purposely do NOT shoot groups because I don't want to break an arrow / nock.  The idea that I could ruin an arrow can make a guy panic.

Nice group.

I know it is so tempting to shoot groups...but not always the best idea!   :nono:

My best and tightest groups come from one arrow rounds.     :smileystooges:

Here's some shafting Snag tapered/whipped up for me a few years ago that I turned into arrows (just not as pretty as Snag's work). Unfortunately they group just like yours.    :eek:

Haha Ray! I can definitely relate to the one arrow rounds!
As much as I want to stop shooting groups, Snag is right. It is soooo tempting. Especially when I'm shooting indoors with friends. Might just have to start shooting the smaller five spot targets- aim small....

Got my second batch in Saturday! Snag left the hens off so I could put a personal touch on them with some of the wild feathers I harvested from the Jake I shot a couple of weeks ago. Thanks David!

I also received my broadhead order from 3Rivers today. Somebody's ready to try to take his first turkey with a wooden arrow.

Way to add your own touch Rory. I hope you can coax a big old gobbler in and put one of these to work!

I just finished these today and they are heading to Missouri.

Thanks David! Truly a privilege to have an opportunity to fletch over the work of a professional.

Man those look classy! The ebony stain, gold crest and trad barred and white fletching makes them look really classic. Great work!

He is a very good tournament archer and wanted 3-4" fletching.  I love the ebony stain on douglas fir also. Then the contrast with the white and the gold highlights just sets it off. He has a special edition bow that sounds like these will compliment very nicely.

Received my first set from Snag this past Friday.  These are my first "real" wood arrows, having shot aluminum then carbon.  It's cliché, but true in that they're pretty enough to make you consciously careful with them!
Grabbed three with field points installed and went out back to my brand spanking new straw bale target that I'd made.  First group I noticed two things... 1)  my nocks were tight on the string sending my arrows a bit to the left, and 2) straw bales don't stop arrows very well as they buried to the feathers.  Live and learn.
I quick swapped out strings for one with smaller serving, nocks fit nice and passive and the arrows flew GREAT.  Backed out to 30 yards and the arrows dropped right in.  (Dinged one against the other and cringed.)
Thank you David for a great service.
Here's a few pics.  Sorry about the poor quality of the photos but you get the idea.
Douglas Fir:  29" BOP tapered;  Trad #12 cresting; 160 gr. points; 595 gr. overall arrow weight.
