Why that no good Carson Brown has been sitting on my order for two weeks is a mystery to me. What kind of customer service is this?

Oh yeah, he told me he didn't like the last dozen of the spine I was ordering and said he'd pick through and make sure what he was sending me was up to his standards. I've ordered at least 400 shafts from him over the years and I have NEVER had to go back to him with a complaint. Carson is a heck of a nice guy and a good business man. You will do fine with him!

Snag was one of the best.  He made a bunch for me, but is now retired.
The three on the left are Surewoods from Snag.

Walt,  What sealer do you use on your Shafts,  great looking arrows!

Base is Three coats of DalysProFin marine varnish, Satin, after staining with Fiebling Alcohol leather dye. Rough up the entire shaft with Scotch Brite pad after the ProFin dries and use Testors model paints for cresting.  After cresting, dip with one coat of Varathane-Ultimate-Spar Urethane, Water Based, Simi-Gloss.  Use a medium thickness super glue for the feathers.
The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.

Thank you Walt, I for years have used Profin, 2dips then was cresting with testers acrylic lacquer then dip one more coat of Profin and no runs But testers dropped the Acrylic line of model paints.  Profit over the enamel ran so will give your last coat recipe a try.  Thanks again. Dan
