Congratulations Mike! You can't win them all though! haha Got to leave some for the rest of us.       Very different arrow that is for sure. What was the spine on that one? Looking forward to 2014. I was surprised to hear my name called for the "professional single arrow". There are a lot of good arrow builders.

Congrats to both of you guys.  Great job!

[Mike Vines]

From what I heard, you did a wonderful job as well David.  Believe me I was just as surprised as you when the guys were calling and emailing me.  I'm hoping someone will post pics of all the creations that were there for all of us that were not able to attend.

I have some ideas for 2014, and It is going to be a lot of fun getting them ready.

Mike, I pulled one of these out for the one arrow contest.





These are the ones I entered in the 3 arrow contest.

[Mike Vines]

Those are very impressive David.  I'm looking forward to meeting you in Cincinnatti.

Mike, that arrow is amazing!  Never seen anything like that!  I'll take 3 dozen!

HEY JON! I already have my order in for 3dz. No cutting  :p  . Besides,Mike has not even confirmed my order yet.    

Congrats to Mike and David for some sweet looking arras.

You boys make some aweful nice arrows!!      

[Mike Vines]

Not taking orders unless you have an archery related fund raiser you need a donation to, then we will talk.   If I took orders that would make it a job, (which I already have one, and don't need 2) not to mention I hate working.  

For now i will let the professionals do that, and i can honestly recommend Snag and also Magnus when it comes to making some trully custom arrows that are both functional and beautiful for you to shoot and hunt with.  There are many others out there, but I can vouch for their work.

So until I then, my arrow making is for fundraisers, close friends and myself to hunt with.

Heading back to Ray's in the morning.

Mike,  I don't expect you to give up trade secrets, but can you offer anything on how you built the arrow.   I am especially interested in how you joined the acrylic to the wood.  Very neat.

And don't worry, you will not see me building one of these!

Great stuff thanks for sharing.

[steadman]

Mike you out did yourself! Congrats!! You to David

You will have to be the highest bidder to find that out.
