Finally, New Arrows for Me

Took some time to build myself some new arrows………finally. There are two Lone Star Bowhunters Association 3D qualifiers left before the State Championships and I wanted some bright arrows so I could see in the targets. What y’all think?

Very Nice! The cresting is beautiful!

By golly! That would solve my own lost arrow problem most beautifully!

Thanks guys! Dave that is the reason I’ve gone to all bright fletching on my arrows, they just cost too much to loose.

They are pretty bright…if you can’t find them, try looking in my quiver!

😯 I think you just burned my retinas!

Nice job! 🙂

Thanks guys! They really look like a ball of fire on their way to the target. I really liking them very much.

I love those bright stripe barred feathers, i am like you usually like the bright stuff for 3D shooting!

Thank Rip! I’ve even been hunting mainly with bright colors the last few years. The only exception is when I’m turkey hunting, those birds see those bright colors really fast and know something is not right…..:lol:

Wow, those look to nice to shoot! Are they done with arrow wraps?

Thanks!!! I paint dipped and crested them by hand. It lasts far longer than wraps.

Yes, two coats of spray on clear acrylic as it doesn’t yellow like some of the clear coats.

Well I gotta tell ya, they look great and you’re right, perfect for 3D. Would it bother you if I made something similar?

Would bother me at all, let me know if I can answer any questions.

Thanks. I shoot a carbon express heritage 150 at 29″ with a 145gr point, drawing about 48#. What arrow you got there?

They are Arrow Dynamics Traditional Lites which are a tapered carbon shaft. The wood grain is also different as it is heat bonded to the shaft which makes it almost damage proof. I have these cut to 29″ and shooting a 125g point for 3D out of my 46# (at my draw) White Wolf longbow. The nice thing about these arrows is I can get awesome flight with 125g points and then move up to 200-225 grain point and get the same great flight. I didn’t think it was true until I personally tested it. I’ve even used a 300g point hog hunting and seen no different in flight, and the hog I shot didn’t like it one little bit…..:D

And you’re saying that adding 175gr to the front didn’t affect spine? That’s great, but I don’t understand, please explain, because I want to be able to do this myself!!

I don’t understand the math or science to explain it either. I’ve been building arrows for over 30 years and these shafts basically break all the rules. It has some to do with the tapered design of the shafts that make them more forgiving. The other factor is my Bow is cut 1/8″ past center which allows for a stiffer spine shaft to be shoot. Then when I add the extra weight what I’m doing is bringing the spine in to where it should be for my draw weight. I hope this makes a little sense and doesn’t sound like rambling.
