Allen Shafer's "Girlie Man" Strings!
« on: April 10, 2011, 07:43:00 AM »
OMG! What's the trad world coming to?!

As many of you already know, I like bright pink fletching with pink wraps on my hunting arrows, for ease in seeing my arrows of course! (Although some people in my inner circle would argue and say that it's my feminine side coming out........ridiculous!)

Anyway, I also find it easier to get off a shot at a whitetail while he's laughing at my pinkness this way too.     ;)      

Well, I may have just went over the top.     :help:    I was browsing the "Lefties R Us"(sponsors here) website looking at their strings and I came upon their D10, pink highlighted, "Girlie Man Strings". So I said to myself, "that would go great with my 'Girlie Man Arrows'". So, I succumbed to the temptation and ordered an even pinker one than they advertised!     :laughing:    I have no excuse, I think I just may need help! I did have an excuse for using pink fletching for visibility reasons, but I can't use that one for having a pink and black string!  

So, please tell me that there's someone else out there suffering from the same affliction as I am so that I won't feel so........."out there"!

Ten strand D10 customized official Girlie Man String with padded loops from Allen Shafer and "Lefties R Us":

   

   

   

   

Please post a cure for my disease, if there is one!

It's funny,I've just fletched 1/2 doz. arrows with pink feathers to try out and I DO see them very easely in flight!   :thumbsup:  your string looks nice two.  :)

An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward.So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means that it's going to launch you into something great.

The only sign of having a problem when liking "pink" is "worrying" about it!

That would look really sharp on Bernie' Dunn's "Blackie" Addiction!

And I'd way rather see a manly archer with pink fletch and string than EVER see a pic of Bernie in his cheerleading outfit and combat boots ever again!!  :scared:

Looks great to me too. I love pink feathers on my arrows as well. I have had people make fun of me but they can't find their arrows as easy then either. They really show up. I've thought about getting a pink string as well.

Thanks so much for the kind words! You already know that I'm running the "Girly Man" colors on my new Widow!

I just finshed making one for the Boss (Buckster). I think the pink is addictive!   :archer:

Now I just need to order some ping Tradgang wraps and pink feathers!

Doug, thanks for the compliment, it looks awesome.  I have a 6-strand Guirly Man coming from Allen for my PSA3.

If anyone at elk camp calls me a sissy.... I'll hit them with my purse!    :biglaugh:      :biglaugh:

I sometimes worry about the friends I choose. Come on Doug. Think of the Kanatis' feelings. It's the one that has to be seen like that. Don't be surprised if it takes its frustration out on you in the Fall.

Back in the 50s the auto world called this color Samon sold like hot cakes...

My dad had a Ford and a Chev in these very manly colors..

I like the looks on the bow and arrows..

Definitely a cool look!  I think the bowstring goes perfectly with your fletching.
