I have seen some threads about some really beautyful-work of art arrows,I just wanna know do you hunt with those beauties or plain Jaine?I think that our preys deserve the best and a hunt is more memorable if made with equipment that is taken some effort fom us.

ALL my arrows are 'fancy' - even the butt ugly ones. :D

Not everyone has time for work of art arrows. "Our prey deserves the best" then spend time you'd use up makin fancy arras to practice. If you have time for both then thats great. I don't know that a dead critter is going to have any opinions on what killed it. Now in the case of a wounded one, I would think a super fancy bright arra is only going to make it run farther??

I hunt with what I have. If those are the arrows I have done a little extra on then I use them.

All depends on what you consider "fancy". I usually have a set of arrows custom made when I get a new (or new to me) bow (so I know they are properly spined for the bow, and any flight problems are due to shooting form). After they are gone, I usually hunt with arrows of my own making.

I usually take a little time before each season rolls around to make a nice half dozen arrows to put in my quiver. I guess its my way of getting ready for the season. I shoot my bow almost all summer long and when its time to make the "hunting" arrows, thats when I slip from practice mode to its time to hunt mode.

It depends on what you call fancy.Mine are black with 4" lime feathers.Not much on looks but fly real fancy just the same.

I don't shoot pretty wood arrows because I am not putting in the time or money just to break them.I hate breaking a good flying arrow and doing it to one I had lots of time in is just too much for me.

Fancy or not - they're going down range! H

You all know that the same arrow can be simply or more attractive with some cresting or commercial wrap,slicing and so on,almost the same time to make them,things usually made at night, in the winter, in preparation of the hunting season.This is a pleasure that remind you the past and future hunting seasons. I was used to be more frugal in arrow choice,but I thinkhunting with pretty arrows add something like a nice bow.Also a old beated bow kills animals exactly as well as most inlayed,venered customized one,but isn't nicer to use something more appealing?It is like a woman,do you dream for the old fat nasty one?

I wish I could make Fancy arrow's, mine are more simple.......

Mark,you know that you make fancy arrows,your trade arrow is something that started this thread.

That arrow is for lookin at, Twisted footing takes away some of the strenght, (Info from the shaft maker) I like clean simple lines, not alot of Flash. Thanks for the kinds words Felix...

I wouldn't get caught dead in the woods without my "Fancy Arrows"!

Fancy arrows shoot better! Everyone knows that. LOL

I got some green and white Michigan State Spartan wraps from Onestringer to go with green and white feathers.

When the Spartans make the Final Four, maybe I'll celebrate and shoot one into a shaken beer can. LOL

GO GREEN! GO WHITE!

I'll have to agree with Tater and Mojostick. It should be a state law. Fancy arrows a must.

Mojostick · « **Reply #16 on:** March 25, 2010, 02:15:00 PM »

My fancy, crested/crowned AD's from Badger sure are sweet too! I need to get around to getting some more from you.

Encino Man · « **Reply #17 on:** March 25, 2010, 02:42:00 PM »

Most of the time my arrows are crested, but I have been known to for-go all the bling and just make them simple.

I hunt with whatever I'm shooting best with. Some times they're pretty, sometimes they're not.

lpcjon2 · « **Reply #18 on:** March 25, 2010, 02:44:00 PM »

If I can't hunt with it I don't buy it.And I want the deer to see something pretty before they expire from it.

Grey Taylor · « **Reply #19 on:** March 25, 2010, 03:22:00 PM »

Something I hear kind of frequently is, "those are too pretty to shoot."
Tell you what folks, pretty arrows shoot just as well as ugly ones, why not use the best looking arrow you can?
That being said, those who make their own arrows don't always have the talent or want to take the time to make a rockin' arrow.
Folks purchasing their arrows may not want to or be able to spend the extra cash for an art arrow.
