Arrows of 2016

[Kevin Dill]

I don't start many threads here, but thought it might be interesting to see some of the arrows we're building and shooting of late. I still build 100% of my arrows and have done so since the '80s.

For 2016 I p-p-put down the carbon and started with Surewood fir shafting. Stain and paint applied....

 

Finished arrows awaiting a set of heavy broadheads.

 

On the hunt...

 

The ultimate satisfaction of building arrows.

 

And now it is your turn....

[Roy from Pa]

Very nice, congrats.

 

 

[GreyGoose]

Wow!  Maybe my next step in trad will be toward more traditional arrows. Those are some beauties.

[Michael Arnette]

This is my favorite color

[MnFn]

Wow, Kevin. Those are great looking arrows.

[cacciatore]

Nice arrows Kevin.

[Conner Parry]

Love, love, LOVE building arrows.....as the buckets of them in the garage will attest.

And a few from yesterday that will make the trip to Wild Things in Estill SC with me next week:

I made up this batch of flamed and stained Surewood Doug Fir arrows  last year but they have taken 3 does this year.  I've never shot so consistently as I have since shooting woodies... just feels right.

Fantastic arrows Kevin. I really like the color scheme and by the way, you need to share more. We all like to live through your experience and great adventures.

I have always made my own aluminum and carbon arrows also until the beginning of this year when David Lawson made me a set of woodies and all my fears of using wood arrows has been put to rest. They are still perfectly straight other than one that broke in a deer.  They fly great and have added some weight to my short shafts.

Thank you Kevin for posting this topic, it's always a good time looking at fresh arrows and to get to see the end result & fulfillment from your hard work!!!

I make a new set every year.  Have killed dear with POC, hop hornbeam, birch, and Douglas fir.  Here is a picture with last years set that traveled to CO and MT with me this past year...

Made my first set of woodies this year - these were a surprise for my 8 year old son.  Unfortunately they were too stiff, but ended up shooting great out of my wife's bow.
 

These I made for a new long bow I got - did all the feather processing myself.
 

The other set I made this year were all pink using the pink bright stripes Trueflight feathers - they turned out really cool.  I'll see if I can get pics of those too.
