How many carbon arrows in you quiver are crested?

[YosemiteSam]

None.  I can appreciate the effort and results of many of you.  Some are real works of art.  But making a pretty arrow for me is about as useful as a pretty looking bullet.  Neither my carbons nor my woodies are crested or decorated in any way.  To me, archery is about simplicity and minimalism. A little flare here and there is fun -- I'm not trying to bash anybody else's choices.  But equipment that gets too fancy turns me off.  Natural wood, small blemishes, tooling marks on selfbows and well-made shots with "ugly" gear definitely scratches where I itch.

At any rate, I'm still working on making nice looking shots.  Maybe once I get a little better at that I'll consider decorating my arrows.

All of my arrows are crested. Life is too short to shoot ugly arrows.

Aside from making your arrows look nice, I think a bright cap helps a lot in arrow recovery. A little $ in spray paint ends of saving me a little $ on arrows I think.

A little story about cresting. I've been to a few 3-D shoots where I lost an arrow or two or dropped one on the trail including the huge Baltimore Bowmen Traditional Classic and people have found an arrow of mine and sought me out to return it because they recognized my crest. It also makes it easier when shooting in large groups for the arrow pullers to ID your arrows. The bright caps make it easier to find on the ground.

So mine aren't fancy but distinctive and functional.

I like the way carbon arrows shoot but generally just don't have much of a feel for them so no crests on mine.  I do make nice wood arrows though.  

[BAK]

All.  I always crest all my arrows.

[dnovo]

None.
That's because I don't shoot carbons.
But my woodies are all crested.

[Sirius Black]

Wraps from Onestringer.    

[ghall80]

I load my bow every year with something nice I cant help it

 

[cacciatore]

I crest my woodies but I use wraps on my carbons, all of them.
I think to be a sign of respect to the games to shoot them your best arrows

[Keith Zimmerman]

All of them.

[ProAlpine]

Beautiful arrows everyone!

Thanks for the inspiration.

all of them-  onstringer arrow wraps and double dogg over wraps, inexspensive and easy. Plus you look cool  

[J. Cook]

I use plain Onestringer wraps (I buy basic colors like white, yellow, and orange in bulk for cheap) and then crest over them.  I too have started using a cut section of their "double dogg" to cover just the crested part whether it's paint or sharpie and that has really added durability.
