Newest Set of Arrows, Bakers Dozen
« on: September 05, 2011, 01:30:19 pm »
When I though one of my trades wasn't going to make it, I started these, last Thursday.  Ended up he got them and I couldn't stop.  All are POC, kelly green leather dyed, crested, (9) 5" parobolic fletching, (3) full length spiral fluflus, self nocked and wrapped w/ red and black heavy duty poly thread.  Primitive meets modern on this bakers dozen.  What do ya think?  Thanks for lookin', derik gratz

Very nice set,

The green dye almost looks metallic laquer,.. dont know about retrieving them when shooting in the forest. The might be hard to find...

Are they for target practice? Did you dip them in the leather dye?

greetings from the netherlands,

Stefan

Thanks for the comment hb61.

Stefan, They are to shoot, whether at target or game.  Maybe a little hard to find, I usually use blunts or judos, etc. when shooting in the woods.  I used a cotton dye applicater to put the stain on, then let them dry and rubbed them down with a rag to buff.  They were hit with a satin spray on clear coat before fletching too.  Thanks for the comment from the Netherlands.  8)
