Autumn Orange Question
« on: May 15, 2010, 12:48:00 PM »
In a few days I will be getting some 2018's in Autumn Orange that I bought here from a fellow TG'r.  Some are already fletched and some are raw shafts.  I would like some ideas for fletch colors that will match the shaft.  Pics would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I always loved Autumn orange shafts but I never thought that they could look so good!

I always fletched mine with black and red, no cresting.   Wow the ones above are beautiful!

I think white looks the best, also purple looks good on them too.

Jim,
Those are some sweet looking shafts. I've used the AO shafts in the past and like them the most of all of the aluminum shafts I've used. I wish Easton would start making them again a lot of shooters would be happy. I've used white as a cap mostly on them with orange, brown and black crest with orange and white feathers looks nice as well. Brian

I found a couple of dozen old 2117's and made them up for my son.  Used a blue wrap and then a yellow barred cock feather along with yellow hen feathers. Came our looking great.

Here's a few in process. These will get flourescent blue nocks when done. Blue ..... that's new to me, but had the blue fedders already so....why not !   ;)
