No, not perfect, but they look better than mine.

Great job.

What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset.

Not perfect, what do you mean, they look great to me. I'd take those not perfect arrows any day.

Almost forgot to ask, what wood did you use for the footing.
