Guys---Jim does beautiful work with his arrow making!!!   Dick

I was thinking of sending Jim, red, white and blue feathers.
Any opinions?

The quest to improve is so focused on a few design aspects & compensating for hunter ineptness as to actually have reduced a bow & arrow's effectiveness. Nothing better demonstrates this than mech. BHs & speed fixated designs

Brad Davis

straitera I like that. Would anyone have any problems with red, white, blue for the fletch colors? I now see that an auction forum topic has been started for Chris. I havent checked it yet as I just got home. I would like to get this moved there and need input on how you guys and gals think we should proceed from there. Im open to the proceeds either going straight to Larry and his family or donanting it to St. Judes in memory of Chris. As always I would love to hear what you all think.

I would like to thank all of you for the responces and keeping this going. Brad and family

I've got one dozen POC 23/64" 60/65 lb shafts to add if Jim or someone else would want to do another dozen. I can send them out Saturday.

(My arrow building art isn't up to par with the arrows I see on this website. I'm proud of them but someone with more skill will definitely command a higher bid.)

Since mine are a different size maybe can offer up a second separate auction...or save a dozen for St Judes auction.

Here's an idea too...indiviudal arrow auction with each winner sending the arrow to the family with a picture and story of their hunt?

Just an idea. I know the family isn't ready for that but come next season when the arrows are used they may be. Would give the kids something to cherish throughout their lives.

Let me know about the shafts...

I know as I have been hanging around for a while, Chris was always a big supporter of St. Judes. What about a dozen for his family and a dozen in His honor for the St. Judes Auction.

Respectfully I am closing this thread.

Onions, chopx2, wbyrd, ishiwannabe, straitera, fnshtr, please send what you would like to donate to Jim. He will build the arrows. Jim I will be calling you.

pronghorn23 and Tyler2045, please follow up with those ideas. I think that it would be best for them to have their own thread.

Thanks Brad.

Thanks Dean for the bump.

I believe that all materials have been shipped to Jim. Just a few minor details to be hammered out. Jims got some awesome ideas for the feathers.

Thanks to everybody for helping with this.

I made up one arrow for you guys to look at and let me know if this is what you had in mind.  I tried not to let any one color dominate.  Jim
