need to see some red crown dips out there!
« on: March 09, 2010, 10:39:00 PM »
I have narrowed it down to wanting a red crown on my next dozen.  I can't make up my mind on Feather,crest,nock, and stain options.  Please post some pics of your arrows dipped in red, if you will be so kind.

Not easy to see in the picture, but the crown is analine dye and the crest is acrylic paint of a slightly different hue.

I gave this bunch a different treatment.  I'll try some red cap sometime.  This is Fiebings Leather Dye.  They hold up well.

Pretty arrows shoot just as well as ugly arrows. It only makes sense to make them look good!

Have at it.  Glad you liked them.  I used them this past week shooting around my little range and they were easy to find.  I used natural barred feathers and dyed the green ones with Rit. I knicknamed them "The Red Arrows of Death".

Are those for hunting, or for targets?

I've always stayed away from red on the shaft for hunting arrows because I "read" my arrow after the shot for clues about the hit- and I just always thought red would make that more difficult.

What do you guys think?

I use them for targets only.  They show up well in grass and dirt.
