OMG! What's the trad world coming to?!
As many of you already know, I like bright pink fletching with pink wraps on my hunting arrows, for ease in seeing my arrows of course! (Although some people in my inner circle would argue and say that it's my feminine side coming out........ridiculous!)
Anyway, I also find it easier to get off a shot at a whitetail while he's laughing at my pinkness this way too. ;)
Well, I may have just went over the top. :help: I was browsing the "Lefties R Us"(sponsors here) website looking at their strings and I came upon their D10, pink highlighted, "Girlie Man Strings". So I said to myself, "that would go great with my 'Girlie Man Arrows'". So, I succumbed to the temptation and ordered an even pinker one than they advertised! :laughing: I have no excuse, I think I just may need help! I did have an excuse for using pink fletching for visibility reasons, but I can't use that one for having a pink and black string!
So, please tell me that there's someone else out there suffering from the same affliction as I am so that I won't feel so........."out there"!
Ten strand D10 customized official Girlie Man String with padded loops from Allen Shafer and "Lefties R Us":

Please post a cure for my disease, if there is one!

c'mon man wheres your pride! :laughing:

Dude that string looks great! I love bright colors also so you will get no ribbing from me! Thumbs up all the way!
-
It's funny,I've just fletched 1/2 doz. arrows with pink feathers to try out and I DO see them very easely in flight! :thumbsup: your string looks nice two. :)
-
The only sign of having a problem when liking "pink" is "worrying" about it!
That would look really sharp on Bernie' Dunn's "Blackie" Addiction!
And I'd way rather see a manly archer with pink fletch and string than EVER see a pic of Bernie in his cheerleading outfit and combat boots ever again!! :scared:
-
Looks great to me too. I love pink feathers on my arrows as well. I have had people make fun of me but they can't find their arrows as easy then either. They really show up. I've thought about getting a pink string as well.
-
I am With ya I got A.S. girly man strings from Barry at leftiesRus that go with my solid black 2016 with pink tiger wraps and 2 pink & one black feather. I am with you part of the beauty of traditional archery is bright colored arrows to watch the arrow flight. And A.S. string quality and Barry's Service is the best.Thanks for posting you are not alone, Jerry.
-
Hey Doug that is SWEET!!! ;) It fits you well!!! :laughing:
-
Nothing wrong with it man, just dont get matching gloves and hat. :p
-
Thanks so much for the kind words! You already know that I'm running the "Girly Man" colors on my new Widow!
I just finshed making one for the Boss (Buckster). I think the pink is addictive! :archer:
Now I just need to order some ping Tradgang wraps and pink feathers!

What about pink camo coveralls?!........Just kidding! :biglaugh:
-
Thanks Joe! I knew you would like it.
You're welcome Allen! Keep up the good work. :thumbsup:
-
Doug, thanks for the compliment, it looks awesome. I have a 6-strand Guirly Man coming from Allen for my PSA3.
If anyone at elk camp calls me a sissy.... I'll hit them with my purse! :biglaugh: :biglaugh:
-
I sometimes worry about the friends I choose. Come on Doug. Think of the Kanatis' feelings. It's the one that has to be seen like that. Don't be surprised if it takes its frustration out on you in the Fall.
-
Bad Mojo! Very Bad!! If i were Jason, i would never build you another Bow.LOL. Have fun with it. :)

Back in the 50s the auto world called this color Samon sold like hot cakes...
My dad had a Ford and a Chev in these very manly colors..
I like the looks on the bow and arrows..
-
Definitely a cool look! I think the bowstring goes perfectly with your fletching.

Barry, where's that purse of yours? I gotta use it on TJ!

Pink is fine so long as it isn't a thong or a skirt. Those get your man card revoked.

There ya go Joe........and it's in your favorite camo! :biglaugh:
-
NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Didnt you get the paperwork on with the bow? It clearly states NO PINK! :readit:
Ok, it does match your arrows nicely. Not anything I would do though :D
-
Seriously, Where can I get cool and good pink camo for my 10 yr old daughter to start hunting with this year? Any suggestions? BTW she uses black and white zebra on her arrows. But one must match accessories, I see change in the wind!!!
-
Sorry Jason, I got the bow used so there was no paperwork! :biglaugh: :cool:
-
They make pink camo too, my daughter has some...would really complete the ensemble. :thumbsup:
-
The shirt pics did not load till after I submitted my reply..too funnny. My dad always shot pink arrows too....
-
Doug, Doug, Doug,... :banghead: Maybe you can get some PINK "skin" to stick on the front of your Kanati. That should have the deer doing belly rolls! :campfire:
-
HeYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYyy
-
Some where I heard, that real men wear pink. :archer2:
-
I don't care what any of those sane people say, I LIKE IT!! I have always shot pink fletched arrows too, so the string is just one more step down that slippery slope. :D
Allan
-
I shoot pink fletching/wraps and even pink rabbit strip tracers, but I'm not ready to get my feet near that 'slippery slope' just yet! Lol! That bow is a beauty though, no matter what color string she wears. :thumbsup:

Easy to see, I like the contrast on the string.
-
Well at least now when you miss, you can blame it on your skirt flying up in your face. :biglaugh:
-
Here are some nice matching limbsations...

I guess I'll have to pass on those. Heck, even I won't go that far! ;)
-
Nice Colors, maybe add a pair of these :D

that sure is purdy!!!!!

AAH....pink crocs...that is the last piece of the puzzle. the 3D shoots will never be the same!! :biglaugh:
-
"I guess I'll have to pass on those. Heck, even I won't go that far!"
Shuuu! Doug you have no idea how relieved I am at this moment.
-
lol
Really though, The pink feathers offer much in easy visibility. The string...well..it matches. If you like pink go with it.
In all seriousness, does anyone sell pink feathers or wraps for/with breast cancer awareness symbols.
I imagine there are wraps out there, probably vanes too as they're easier to print upon.
It would be cool if someone could find a way to stamp feathers with symbols...aka Breast cancer ribbon, Army, USMC, Navy, Airforce, Tradgang...etc
-
Sorry, man, you're on your own.
-
I love pink--
-
Interesting...
Everything matches well! ;)

You needn't worry anymore, TJ. The pink/black string is pretty much where I draw the line with my pinkness affair(although I was considering pink/black wool silencers until my wife said maybe that would be a tad over the top!).
Anyway, thanks for all of the comments, opinions, and suggestions, guys ;) :D .
And, btw, Allen makes a really great string, regardless of how "girlie" some of them may seem to be!
-
Doug, I was just thinking of some nice pink wool yarn for my silencers as well. I think my buddies may actually cut my string while I'm not looking if I do that though!!
Once again, glad you like the string and thanks for the kind words.
Allen
-
I am not a pink fan myself, but it does match your arrows very well. So just say that you wanted your string and your fletching to match. Also with that pink string you can find your bow in low light.
-
Good to hear Doug.
In all seriousness, Allen does make a very nice string. I have them on all my sticks (Manly black and brown of course though).
-
Well i have to say you match well, been wanting to go purple myself
-
this is funny to me cause i just ordered pink FL feathers last week to make some spiral fluflus for small gaming and stumping after watching a fred eicher video my buddys are busting my well you know but as was said when their looking for thier arrows ill find mine for sure
-
oh and on the purse thing i go to the thrift shops all the time and look at the purses my buddys rip on me for my man purses all the time but they work great for my flintlock hunts and i just found a leather sling pac at the salvation army store for 3 bucks cant beat that with a stick unless my buddys chase me through the woods swinging
