Outstanding Surewood Shafts from Braveheart Archery (I didn't hardly have to straighten any of them), MinWax stain front and back, with Sharpie cresting, and a wiped on (4 times) MinWax Urethane sealer....steel wooled after each coat. They are flat, dull, and not shiny at all. I think this may be my "official pattern"....   ;)

Thanks. The pics don't show it well, but the front 1/2 are a chestnut brown, the back end are a golden oak. Kinda subtle, but I think they are pretty.

Nothing wrong with meat/potatoe arrows Moleman. I shoot carbon a lot!

I'll be shooting some 7595 gold tip traditonals. Still trying to get them to fly just right. I think I finally hit the magic point weight today with 250 grains plus 100 grain brass inserts. For a total of 750 grains.   :goldtooth:

Since I did not get even one shot last year, my 2012 arrows are the same as my 2011.     :(

I'll be using these footed beauties - they used to be some real ugly, battered arrows I had laying around until Matt Gundock (Magnus) was kind enough (as it was more work than building new ones!) to take them on and refinish them for me!
They fly like darts out of this 62 Kodiak - and they hit like a sledge hammer too!

Waitin' on some fletching to arrive to get these complete. GT Trads 35/55s crowned with Krylon spray paint. I have a black 2117 I'll cut up and use for 1 1/8" of footing on each. Black 4" shield cock fletching with two white hens.

These are for my black glass backed, white glass bellied Dave Johnson cedar lam longbow.

These are GT 3555s, footed fore and aft with green 2117 sleeves.

 

Watching paint dry...   :D

That is hand painted. Kind of a fake Persian script/floral effect.
