I just finished my Full White dipped deer hunting arrows for the Kempf Longbow. Doug Fir from Surewood Steve, went with 2 Chartruese and 1 White.

Joe,

What type of paint are you using?
The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.

Walt...I used Bohning paint for my crown dipping, this way it's compatible with Fletch Tite. I experimented with Rustoleum white out of the spray can.

I applied 3 coats after sealing the arrow with 3 coats of Minwax Poly. I'm not applying any clear finish over the bottom portion. Since I was in no rush on these, I gave them 48 hrs after each application.

I'm sure I could have hand rubbed in 3 coates of White using water base paints but Home Depot is 3 miles up the road and alot cheaper.

Joe,
Thanks for the info.  I bought some pink feathers at PBS last weekend and am looking at making my four year old granddaughter a set of arrows.  White should work for the base color with pink and black cresting.

My hunting partner & I are playing with all white shafts. We are trying this mostly because wood color shafts are harder to find in the brush if we miss a Grouse. We are trying to see if these will be easier to find. Of course if there's snow on the ground a different color would probably be better.
  We aren't using them for practice so don't know how well they hold their color shooting targets. I've sprayed mine with regular old hardware store spray paint.......

Back in the day the old Bear Archery arrows were painted a solid color.

That's very close to what mine look like.    :D    I'm hoping they'll be easier to find without snow on the ground.

I usually crown dip my arrows the last 10 inches before I crest them. I then spray paint the cresting with 3 light coats of clear poly before I brush on three coats of water-based poly prior to fletching. I've never had the cresting or crown dipping wear off however, I've found that some target materals will mar the paint at times...still, I keep right on using them.

Started painting my surewoods orange last year, sur e does cut time spent looking for arrows.
