Cheers lads for the kind words. As the rain was non stop whilst I was back home I did not get to finish these arrows as I had planned to.

I was looking at splicen all three fletchers with a thin black splice between the white and red barred. But as I said, due to the heavy moisture in the air it made for poor arrow building.

Currently I'm back out at work but I have a "foot-a-long" 1/2 done and I'll show all just how I do the twist, It's nothing special really.


Again, thanks.

Al, your work shines out in many fields!
Beautifully executed, and I heartily approve your packaging for the post!

Nothing like doing the twist;)  Beautiful arrows, been wanting to try my hand at making twisted footed arrows since I first saw them in TJ Conrads first book. Looking forward to the twist-along.

Those are incredible! Looking forward to the twist-along.
It amazes me how much talent is here, my "bucket list" of things traditional keeps getting longer.

I've never seen the ACE Classic points in golden color. Where did you get them?

Great arrows, by the way!
