thanks guys. you know, i wouldn't invest that much work into my own arrows, but in this case it was worth it. i think they came out ok and i liked the way they resembled the 4 colors in the crest. the feathers gave me tho most trouble. after dying and drying them i had problems cutting them into shape, so they turned out a little fuzzy at the edges.
greg, that's exactly what she said.
but i was able to talk her into shooting them. even broke one tip off, but the shaft was still long enough, so i just put another tip on it and the set is still complete. besides, she's an excellent shot, so i don't fear to much for the arrows
pappy, i think it's more the shape you cut them into than the type of feather. i'll test some secondaries and let you know.
pat, i knew you couldn't resist. yes in deed and she shoots much better than me. wins the selfbow category allmost every time.
