Weenie Arrows Thank You!
« on: February 06, 2011, 03:45:00 PM »
Actually its more like WI.NY. arrows. (Wisconsin New York)

Trad Gangers are awesome.  This Thank You goes to Rafael AKA GREATBROWNKNOCKMEDOWN.

I was looking to buy some bunny arrows, just plain cheapo throw away arrows.  Rafael pms me and tell me he has 6 shafts he can send me in a week or two.  4 days later I find a package at my door with 13 pine shafts.  I was able to make 11 arrows from the shafts.

   

   

   

I wanted the crest to be Flo Yellow but it came out just plain yellow. I should have put a primer coat down I guess (live and learn).  The object was high visibility and cheap!  I admit I bought new feathers and the flo-yellow paint but I think I succeeded in all the rest.   :D  

Thanks again Rafael.  

I realized these pine shafts were not as straight as I thought when I tried to crest them LOL.    :knothead:   But none the less I am happy with the outcome.

An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward.So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means that it's going to launch you into something great.

Fifteen-two, fifteen-four, fifteen-six, and a pair is eight...

Very nice "throwaways!"   :thumbsup:

I shot a round with Rafael & the Wisconson gang at Compton last year.  He and his friends are outstanding people.  This is for Rafael "Shoot again, Everyone is a Winner".

Nice looking bunny thumpers, like the color scheme, shouldn't lose them to quickly.

And just why would bunny arrows be "throw-aways"?   :p   Don't ya want them straight and true? After all... A bunnies eye is the size of a dime...


* They look nice my friend. Large feathers will help them get through the brush quickly. Hope to see ya soon.

Here is the first shot. It flew good. I think I will leave them the way they are!

 

PS I was shooting at the packing material not the bunny.    :readit:  

I know, I know,  I need to get my priorities in order   :knothead:
