Good to hear, David. He is young and in great shape so he should have no problems with form, etc.

Sorry you lost your deer last week. I lost one like that a few years ago and it was is a populated area. Those yotes know where the food is.

Very nice feather shape.  Looks like Bears feathers.  Your dye job looks really nice.  What process did you use.

Hi Bill. A year ago I bought a Robertson Vision Falcon and shot it quite a bit. This fall I pretty much dedicated myself to trad.

I only took my compound out once. Wouldn't you know, the buck I hunted all fall stepped out at twenty yards!

Hunted the rest of the way with the Whip. I'm loving it!

Thanks Jon! I used food coloring. Found the process by searching here.

Soaked the feathers first in warm water and soap.

Rinsed with clean water.

Soaked in hot water and a splash of vinegar with the food coloring.

Placed them on a paper towel to dry.

Very simple!

Fletched and burned. Not quite as red as I hoped, but not bad.
