My donkey cresting job!

[lpcjon2]

Well I started out good stained sealed and crested and sealed again 2 dozen arrows POC and Magnolia.Then I dyed some feathers to a cool set of colors .Well I thought I was on the ball,And then I began to fletch them and WHAT!!!!!    I measured the placement of the cresting wrong.What and idiot I am.Oh well I now have FOC cresting...LOL

I'm sure they will still fly right. BTW Tim package on the way.

Thanks Ryan

[Overspined]

those are cool. I like that feather shape, but have changed up a bit due to a TON of feather noise. I mostly use long longbows..oxymoron, and like the traditional appearance!

[lpcjon2]

They spin fast and I don't get noticeable noise from them

[Zradix]

I think having the crest there looks cool. Something different!!

[bowmofo]

I think there unique!

Makes 'em look faster

Love the Sky Blue feathers...use to have Forgewoods fully dipped in sky blue with all white fletching. Nice job...

[vtmtnman]

Look great Tim.

The Hill heads going on those?

I did the same thing for a buddy of mine and they poke him in the nose at full draw. I told him that was better than getting a clicker for his bow. I moved mine forward a little. They look great, good color combo.

Looks good to me.  The blue is a great color.

There is no rule where you put cresting. I like the looks when you add cresting near the point. By the way I think you did a great job.

Nuthin wrong

Tim, to prevent this from happening I do my nock tapers and handfit nocks, place on measuring board and first measure down 10" and put a pencil mark on the shaft.  That is the mark where I cap to or if no cap, mark the crest pattern back towards the fletch.  It always works out and looks balance with a 5" feather.

Thanks guys,I still wish I had the cresting in the center,But they do fly,and I love the feather shape I just got a burner and that was my first shape I made.It looks kinda classic.also used the leftover dye on some shafts I had laying around I will post pics of them as well.They look cool light blue.

The front end and where it hits are way more important. It's fun though, ain't it?  

[Orion]

Wouldn't that be called BOC cresting?    Stuff happens.  Look good to me and I'm sure the critters won't notice.

Looks great to me, but then I am lazy.  I use tapes instead.
