I have a Totally Black Arrow, I call it  "The Black Death" made it just for the heck of it and my neighbor just went Berzerk over it! Had to make him one so he would leave Mine Alone!     :biglaugh:

I saw a video the other day - a trad dude that was instinctive shooting a wheelie now - painted his arrows white like fitzgeralds used to do - said he thought it helped his shooting?

Too funny Shakes!
Always be stubborn.

Brian, Re you using the water based or petroleum based poly?

I've been using the hobby lo by water based acrylics with good success.  Followed by three coats of wipe on water based poly.  Looks good and all.but wonder if the petroleum based wipe on might be a bit tougher?

I personally use the oil based poly. I found water based to be too soft for my liking.

There is no compatibility issues with the acrylic, I use it too
