My new arrows!!
« on: August 15, 2013, 10:02:00 PM »
Well after pamike and Jon Stewart so graciously sent me arrows to test, I finally figured out what was working best and ordered some of my own! I got GT Traditionals 1535, with snake skin wraps (to match the bow), and one trad barred and two hot pink 4" shield feathers! Also, there is a foreign exchange student at my school who has been shooting a borrowed longbow and borrowed arrows for several months now. A guy at the club helped her make her own longbow, but she has no arrows so I am going to pass on the arrows that were sent to me. She was very happy when I told her!

I shot my new arrows tonight as the sun was going down and I shot my best group so far with them! I couldn't get a decent photo from the low light, but all my arrows were inside a 4" circle!

I also started shooting with 2 fingers under, instead of split and I seemed to be a lot more accurate doing that! I'm so excited to be seeing progress!!

Here is a pic of the arrows.

I bought them from Big Jim's Bow Company! Very fast shipping and there are so many fletching and wrap options to choose from!

Nice! I have some arrows fletched with pink and white. Get a lot of crap about them but they sure are easy to find when I launch one out in the grass.

The pink does make it a lot easier! My husband fletched his with two pink and one orange this time around and is sold on the pink!

You have progressed quickly because you are open minded and coach able...we can work with that
I set out a while ago to reduce my herd of 40 bows...And I am finally down to 42
