Spliced Turks all the way!

Great job Steve. I'm partial to the ones in the middle.

Yup, spliced turkey! Those are sweet!

[Mike Vines]

Those things just kept amazing me everytime I would see them.  That cresting just takes them over the top.  I'm partial to the spliced look myself, but you are correct about the Scollick cut.  Plenty of steering and you will deffinately be able to see those in flight.

You did great, and your correct.  The Diluted Kills primer was the perfect finish for the look you were trying to achieve.

I never get enough of these arrow post,just when I thought I've seen it all,here comes the diluted Kills Primer...GREAT Job Steve O

[Dirtybird]

Great looking arrows, tough choice.  I would go with what flys the best.

Steve,

Great job and welcome back to wood arrows (I just came back after a 7 year sabatical this fall).  I'm partial to the middle combination with the splice. I've always used three fletch and often would use one white cock feather and two graybarred turkey feathers with a 1 inch white splice on the back and it would be easy to follow flight with.  For my last Michigan bear I used yellow and orange fletching and yellow cap.  That shows up nicely right before zipping through a critter.  I used to use Bohning years ago too, but everything is stain and dye now.  I'm partial to yellow caps when I use them, but many times it's just fletch with a stained shaft.  

So what's going on the business end of those bad boys for bears???

[Steve O]

Ray, probably a mish mash of Snuffers, Woodmen Elites and Abowyer Brown Bears.  Like Dave said, whatever shoots best.  I have to pick up an assortment of field points at Kalamazoo this weekend and then I can start shooting these.

OK, you got me daydreaming of one of Ron LaClairs bear roasts done in a cast iron Dutch Oven over the campfire. It's a culinary delight.

[Steve O]

I made a dutch oven bear pot roast for the Michigan Longbow hunt boys in October.  It was one of my top 10 meals ALL TIME!  And I have eaten at some of the finest restaurants in the world...

Come on spring!

That was honestly THE BEST roast (of ANY animal) I have ever had the pleasure of eating.  I have tried a few times since to duplicate it, but I think you purposely left an ingredient or 2 off the receipe so I couldn't match it Steve.

Mike, all the best cooks don't use a recipe. You can't blame the chef for purposely forgetting something he didn't write down in the first place.
