Made these up over my weekend. 18 total,six with white fletch,flo yellow cap with simple gold crest, flow yellow nock dark stain fore shaft,12 with yellow fletch,flo green cap, yellow nocks and simple black crest, natural foreshaft. Oh, Alaskan Forgewood shafts spined 75#. What ya think?

You should be able to find them easy if you miss. They do look nice.

Just goes to show...not arrows don't need any fancy cresting to look great. Good job, Danny...  :thumbsup:

LOL, yeah Charlie I like the helical. they are bright, but my old eyes need bright to see the arrow in flight. They shoot just fine out of the Border and the Blacktail. Terry, with 125 gr 5/16" field points they are 760 grains. With the broadheads, they will be a tad heavier. I likes heavy. Out to 30 yards they fly perfect and supprisingly flat tragectory from both bows.

My kind of arrows Danny the brighter the better.They should be very easy to see on the way to "the spot".Great job.They'll look even better with blood on them.

Danny; Nice job on the arrows should make it easier for the eye to follow. I do the same thing with my arrows, I like them bright so that my brain can register the arrows flight and trajectory.
