Magnus made some for me that you've seen in some pf my pictures. Bright pink (full fletch), they kind of look like they should work like a flu-flu but they only start to slow down at about 60 yds.

Great job to both you and Magnus!

God bless,Mudd

PS: A special thank you to Magnus!!!
I saw those the other day when you were shooting them into the target, and just figured you hadn't burned them yet.  What is the reasoning to keep them full height?

Very nice, i think the splices make the arrow.  Too bad when we shoot an animal that arrow fletch is done.

Not true. Wash 'em out as quick as you can and you should be able to salvage them. I have used the same two arrows the last four years and have 7 deer between them.

I have already started mapping out the next set in my head.  I have decided though, that I am only gonna make 6 at a time unless I get someone wanting a dozen made up.  It just seems like too much to make a dozen every time you wanna do it, and this way, I won't have arrows coming out my ears like I do already.  
I've got arrows in boxes that have never been shot...that I made up over 10 years ago! Half-dozens help.........................a little!  :D

I left them just because they look cool, make them easier to find in the woods and will drop off, just further out than a flu-flu with more feathers.

You are much more patient than I. I haven't the patience for splicing. Great job on some beautiful arras. How do they shoot?

They look very nice, it's apparent you put a lot of work into them. Much better than average for an experienced arrow smith.
