Looking good! Is that copperhead? I just did up a couple too, with skin from a rattler I killed in my front yard.

Now that is sweet, good job and great looking arrows. the only thing that would look better on them now is a little blood.  :)

G0od job!!!!  It's not hard at all. Now you can do some cresting on them. I have been making them for over 20 years. It's really easy.

Again Good Job!!!!!

There's big Class in those arrows! Great! Bet refletching them might be a PITA. I could suffer through it. Beauts!

I used the fletchtape and just put a little duco on each end of the feather. And yes thats copperhead i think some breeds of the rattler would be to thick for an arrow you could use that to snake a bow. I have a glass bow I snaked that I thought would be really cool to shoot them with but a friend of mine's uncle Marty Breeden has givin me a few bows and that's all i'll hunt with now. I'll post a picture of the snaked bow here as well though.
