Good job I have been making arrows 27 years and have never made any that nice!

bruinman · January 13, 2013, 03:24:00 PM

They look great!

Tsalt · January 13, 2013, 03:25:00 PM

They look awesome! Did you go the sharpie route or paint for the cresting?

moleman · January 13, 2013, 03:27:00 PM

Very nice! Nothing like doing it yourself.

Biggamefish · January 13, 2013, 04:13:00 PM

Tsalt None of the above really. I bought arrow wraps and cut them down. This was my very first try at making any kind of woods arrows. I wanted to make multi color vanes but I bought pre-cut and was advised to wait till I got fulle fletchings.
I think this is a long road to a new hobby lol. I already want an arrow cutter/burner. Then I guess I will probably be buying the paint etc. My wife will kill me to bring more stuff into the house but she will understand lol.

Sweet! I have a test pack of Sherwood shafts that I got for Christmas. I'm about to make my first set. I hope they look half as good as yours.

Nice job! And yes, your wife will kill you if you bring a feather burner in the house!!! Only do outside downwind from the house (I did some on the back deck one time and a window was open and I heard a "what's buring yell from inside the house"). It was one of those momentary lapses in hunting skill and I wasn't paying attention to the wind. :eek:
