I finally finished my arrows with only a month to spare! They took a while to complete but I am quite happy with how they turned out.
I normally shoot hardwood shafts but decided to try some Surewoods this year to keep my weight down. After cutting them to length and putting on the tapers, I flame crested the shafts.
Using aniline dyes, I dyed them to match some cool fletching colors that Ozark Feathers has available.
Then I turned them over to my wife and she hand painted each shaft.
After six trips to the dipping tube, I pronounced them sealed and put the nocks on.
I was originally going to try some Grizzly broadheads this year but wasn't impressed with their QC. I bought 185 grain heads and the closest they came was 178. So I went back to 190 grain Meatheads. The finished arrow weight is around 640 grains. I sure hope I get to put some of these to good use!
