Went PINK
« on: January 08, 2010, 09:20:00 PM »
Well on my second attempt at dipping and cresting I went pink.The crown is metallic gold and all the painting was done without a cresting machine.One day I will be able to get one.   :coffee:

Very Nice. I also like Pink. My opinion on fletching is that if my arrows can't be seen from Space, they aren't bright enough. I hate losing arrows.

Pink is my favorite too. Great job on the arrows. We don't need no stinkin' crester!!    "[dntthnk]"   But if you ever hit the jackpot and want to buy the ultimate crester, this is the one.  http://www.badgerarrow.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=21&products_id=118&zenid=aaddd4398a3981ae5e277105b404d331

Been shooting pink for a long time. Take a lot of ribbing but when they ask where I hit a deer, I know without a doubt. Every mans favorite color!

Pink feathers RULE. I take a lot of heat from my shooting buddies, but on the 3D course or on a hunt, they just can't be beat. I can always see them fly, can see where they hit, and can find them when they stray from their intended course. I don't get to fancy, just pink feathers on gold tips or heritage shafts.

Dave, when you have as little skill, craftsmanship, or talent as I do, you concentrate more on function and not form.    :thumbsup:
