Thought I would show some arrows that I just finished putting together. I cut the fletching with my own shield pattern (4.75"). I use the old tape and scissors method. Works well, but is slooowwwww!    :D    

The cock feathers are just barred with a sharpie. Low tech but it works. I also colored the edges of the quill black with the sharpie for a little more contrast. I like it!!

Here are the pic's. They are not the best as I took them with my cell phone, but it is what I have.

Looks good to me. Good job on the cuts.

Nice job. Look great.

Thanks. I am just starting to play around with the red fletching and think I like it. The red is much more vivid in real life then in the photo's. I need to order some red Bohning Signature Nocks to go with it.

Wow, very nice work there! Good luck with them.  

   

Thanks again guys. I did a little indoor shooting with them and they shoot really nice. These are straight with a lot of offset. They almost look helical. I think I might have pushed it a little but all is well.

Those look real nice! You did a good job on those.

Looks great!

Nice work...I think they look great!

Glade to see those , I have thought of doing that myself . I think I will try now . Thanks for posting .

Great job.    

Great looking arrows, man! And thanks for the pics. I'm about to order me some GT trads and wondered if should choose red fletching. I don't wonder anymore. Red it is!

Look great.

Nice looks good

Nice job cutting the feathers...  

They look real good, especially laying over that old Bear bow.

Thanks again guys. Hand cutting fletching takes time but you can get surprisingly good results with it. However, I am seriously considering making a feather burner. Seems like a simple enough project.
