Cimpl Arras. Sweeter than they look. Barrell Tapered SuperCeders (Magnolia) from Don Stokes.
   
Don supplied the shafts, I only added the Cimpl

Cane and Magnolia tend to make good arrow.

Midd, those are sweet! is that a wrap or did you do the fade yourself? Nice splicing too.

Here's a few of my hack job paint dipped/crested.

Does anyone try and match their arrows to their bow?

night, i have a graybark BW and use black carbon GT's . i figured it would "match" better with the dark bow instead of a wood grain look. My quiver is also black ( with a little portion of the leather i painted gray) to match. I am about to fletch some more arrows (black GT's) and i am considering maybe a red/black/gray or possibly white feather to "match" my widow stick.

I want my arrows as bright as I can get. From my experience, it really pays off when you KNOW where you hit. I love the classic looks of natural turkey but danged if they don't disappear on the way to a target.

Seth,

I use the Testor's brand model enamels. Both spray and in the small bottles. I use the spray to do the cap dips (one coat flat white, two coats color) and the other to do the cresting. I have never had any trouble getting it to stick to the carbon shafts. I always wipe the bare shafts down with acetone before painting.

Here are a few pictures of some arrows I have done. These are a few years old.

       
Here are some wood shafts I made-up.
   

These are wood shafts footed with sections of alum. arrow (increases FOC and can use screw-in points)
 

All of these were done with the Testor's paints. The paints are very durable (I don't use any clear coat and have arrows I have used for 4 or 5 years) and It's reasonably priced.

OkKeith

These are kinda plain and simple but I like the "glow" they have(even if they are sissy pink!) and they are very quick to make up.

 

Oh, the wraps are by "Onestringer".
