It's not procrastination if the task is completed on time. I've live by that mantra most of my life.
I perform better under pressure. Nice looking arrows by the way.

Almost all my arrows are " just in time"  I really don't enjoy making arrows, and they look like it.

Good deal!

I think thats one of the things I enjoy the most. Making my arrows.
I normally find a good excuse to make some.
I used to make a dozen at a time. I now do 6-8 arrows and be done with it.
That way I dont get too tired of seeing the same ones and I don't have too many left after hunting season. And of course, I get to make some new ones sooner.
Let them fly, now.
Happy hunting!

Look like "Blue Jays" I like the color of those and the deer just may think it's a Blue Jay swooping at them.   :thumbsup:

Yep, you can call those your "Blue Jay" arrows. I love the blue, maybe we can get him to share some trade secrets when he gets back to the states.

Yeah............I'm gluing feathers on as we speak.  I decided kinda late to hunt with a new bow I picked up for my wife earlier this year.  The arrows that tuned up the best with it were some that were fletched by someone else and came to me from a yard sale.  They bare shafted perfectly with 200 gr up front, but they appeared to be fletched with a straight fletch jig that I think wasn't set up exactly right, and they weren't flying exactly like I wanted.  Since I was refletching them, I decided I might as well cap and crest them as well.
