Thanks DB, I really like the arrows in the "six stinger" thread. I might order marabou feathers and do something similar to yours to make these pop when they hit the target.
"bur" if I can add a little help in "useablity". I know this is not a word but I like to make arrows that is usable and DURABLE. Wrap the front of the fletching with some thread and it will help to eliminate issues with shooting off a shelf.  also wrap below the nock to keep the nock from splitting out.  Notice the small details of the arrows I post.  it is not for looks its for functionality.....all of those details are for a reason. :)

Thanks Dbar, I wrapped this one like you were talking about.(see pics)

This one is the matching hunting arrow with tonto point.

As you become comfortable doing this fletching wrap ya may wanna experiment with including less of the quill under wrap and less wrap down shaft.
I found that less thread achieved more svelte/elegant appearance.
... alone in distant woods or fields, in unpretending sproutlands or pastures tracked by rabbits, even in a bleak and, to most, cheerless day .... .  I suppose that this value, in my case, is equivalent to what others get by churchgoing & prayer.  Hank Thoreau, 1857
