Tru Flight feather question???
« on: March 29, 2011, 09:48:00 PM »
Has anyone tried the new red and white barred feathers made by tru flight?  I have an arrow build in mind, and these would be icing on the cake, but I would like to see a few pictures of them first before I spend the $ and don't like the look before I put them on.  They look nice on the website, but they are trying to sell a product (so of course they will look good on there) and I would like to see real world feathers.

  So if you have arrows with the red and white barred feathers, would you please post pics of them, or email them to me if you would be so kind.

Thanks in advance,

Mike

I haven't seen them yet either, but thought they would look really sweet.  I'd love to see some pics of these feathers as well.  These are in the Trueflight Bright Stripe series in case anyone is wondering what we're talking about.

I got the chartreuse and orange barred ones, I was kind of disapointed when I received them, they did not look as nice as on the picture(e-bay)they are also expensive. Not as bright as I wanted them to be. The orange appears to have bled to much in the chartreuse color. Will not buy anymore, will just stick to chartreuse.

I ordered a dozen, hopefully they are what I was wanting.  If not, I have some for my rabbit arrows.

Hey Mike Vines.  Check out this thread.  About 3/4 of the way down the page there is a post by snakewood3.  Some of the arrows in this kid's quiver look like the red/white barred Trueflights.  First real pics I've seen of them.  Hope this helps.  Oh, you already ordered them.  If you don't mind posting some pics when you get them that would be great.  Thanks.

Mike, I guess that since you ordered them, you don't need to see any now.  Next time give me a holler.  I fletch all the arrows for the club and have darn near every color.

Well now you tell me Dave.  LOL  Are you going to be at the Spring Shoot at Land O Lakes next month?  If so, I will have my aerial launcher running for everyone.

That's them.  They are pretty much what I was looking for.

What I will do is take some pictures of them on my workbench, so that all of you can see, because I'm using them for a special arrow build, and don't want my secret getting out till they are given away.  

I do promise to get pictures for this thread though.
