Pink and Yellow   :thumbsup:   .......who would have thought they would look that good, I guess you just never know what combo may be good!!

Ron, isn't that the truth. One of the fun things I get to do is make arrows for guys in colors I wouldn't normally think of. Kind of fun.

Awesome!!!! David made the set I have now. They are the red and grey bars that are second down in the middle post. I love them and still think they are among the neatest arrows.
Johns, Grey Ghost arrows are also really great along with so many others.
They are to my taste.

Gold bless you all, Steve

I have made arrows with odd combos knowing that they would be ugly.......but those are just neat! Nobody grabs an ugly arrow....LOL!

My first full dozen.

Surewood shafts 60-65 spine, dyed southern pecan, crown dipped orange, crested in black and gold. The bright area in front of the nocks are reflective orange tape that matches the crown and nocks but lights up with the camera flash )or flashlight).

My Surewoods are to plain to put on page. Yall make some beautiful arrows. I just walnut stain mine with grey barred turkey feathers and white mercury nocks. Nothing like a quiver full of wood arras and roving thru the woods stump shooting and shooting at small game.. I went from carbon to wood and will never go back as long as I can get good shafts. Nothing shoots like wood thru a Hill longbow.

sorry about the quality but these are photos of prints- taken back when digital didn't exist and acme premiums and bohning lacquers was what everyone used.

Above was a personal set of compressed ramin shafts I used to get from John Yacalavich in IL - those were my favorite shafts- straight as an arrow (pardon the pun) and tough as nails. So tough pigs had a hard time breaking them!

 

This is a set of self-nocked shafts that had tied on fletching, with the front wrapped rather than a bead of glue, and lacquered like a fly rod ferrule. 40 year old true flite natural turkey fletch. The nocks had buff horn inlaid in the thoats and they were tied as well. Wish I had better pics but that's it.

Just a couple sets of neat ones made for my customers.

 

used to have a custom arrow shop back in the 80's.

They are all beautiful. My favorites though are natural barred feathers.
