Those are cool ! Years ago, A Friend used to do what He called "Story Arrows" - there would be a small hunting scene on each Arrow. Keep up the good work  :OK. Bob

awesome labour of love!
extremely creative!

from what i have read, banana's are purported to stabilize the shaft quickly, and are very quiet.
a friend of mine just did a fletch on some shafts he built that were a combo of banana and shield. quite novel!

Real creative work!  You may be starting a new wave of cresting art!
Wayne, where did you find the info on the banana fletch?  And how well does the mixed fletch shoot, does it work with other mixes?
