2nd attempt at splicing and a new feather shape I burned.
« on: February 16, 2012, 09:36:00 AM »
Well I did a little splicing (still practicing) and decided to burn a new shape feather. It's kinda like a missile shape.Hope you like it.
  Oh and there are only 5 shafts #6 would not cooperate when cresting, and had to be punished(it's now a small pile of kindling)patience is a must...LOL   :knothead:

Nice!  How do those missles fly?  Are they quieter than other shapes?

Looks great. The fletching profile looks like it would be very quiet.

Glad to see those feathers are going to GOOD use!
They look great Maybe the 6th should be a reverse fletching, orange with white stripes that'll show them who's BOSS
