Those are looking pretty good. How do they fly. That is whats important.
  On your arrows with broadheads you should add more wrap behind the heads. I do about a inch or so to be sure the shaft doesn't split if you hit bone.

If you are going to use them to hunt, then yes add more wrap.  ;)

Do you soak your wrapping in superglue?  I soak mine twice and they really take a beating before they start to fray.

Nice job on the arrows by the way.
I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left
