Old aluminum arrow make over
« on: January 28, 2012, 11:37:00 AM »
I got some arrows in a trade a few weeks back! They were ratty looking but straight and shoot off my makuta recurve(62" 52Lbs @ 28)
 I decided to give them new life and at the same time try my hand at splicing fletch!
 I'm really pleased the way they came out!!! I'll be doing this again!
