Dana, those are too pretty to shoot...should instead be displayed proudly as a full set on some one's wall, and I know just the wall they would look great on! ;D

Nice set of arrows Dana. I've been thinking about a new set for the Classic. I have 5 practice arrows I'm using now and everyone id different; either different shafting material, fletching type or feather type. Maybe my shooting will improve with a matched set.  ;D

Good looking arrows, Dana. I like having mismatched arrows. Then when I miss a buffalo target at ten yards, I can blame it on the arrows. ;D

Thanks guys, I traded David knight for some spined Tonkin, that helped a bunch :)
Arrows really aren't hard to make but they are time consuming but if you do it assembly line fashion its not so bad.
The stain is Fieblings leather dye and finish coat is 3 coats of Minwax wipe on poly.

Nice looking arrows.  Way too nice to shoot.  (That is, if you shoot like me.)

Totally awsome arrows Dana, man oh man am I jelous. I am going to order a bunch of that tonkin and get buzy. Did you get them matched and all shooting the same? If so You really did do super super good. That is my problem, I can get some good shooting arrows but If I can get a two arrow set that shoots just the same I think I have done good. Beautiful arrows, they will make you be careful where you shoot them.     Kenneth

All this time you have been trying to tell us that a yooper was an extreme version of a redneck. Nice set of arrows Dana.  Justin

Kenneth the weights vary by about 50 -60 grains butfrom what I can tell they all appear to shoot the same, of course I'm a really poor shot :(


Justin ya have to grunt when you use Yooper and redneck in the same sentence. UGH ;) :D
