This is my first try at cresting arrows and at splicing feathers. They're nothing like a pro would do, but I'm pretty happy for my first time trying it. I decided to try pink and white on these after seeing a thread on here about pink feathers last year. One of the guys posted a picture of several colored feathers, including pink, laying in the leaves. I was impressed by how well the pink stood out is decided it was worth trying. I think better paint brushes would help on the cresting. Several of the spliced feathers don't look exactly right after taking them out of the fletch ing jig. I'm not sure why since I had them glued up nice and straight before I put them in the jig.
I figured if I was going to get picked on for shooting pink arrows, I might as well go all out and really earn it, so I bought two pink/brown flemmish strings and pink/brown whisker silencers. Bow is a mid '60s Ben Pearson Hunter, 58", 42#@28". I'm hoping the 190 gr Simmons Interceptors up front might help me retain my man card in spite of how fabulous I look.
Let me know what you think. Any tips or pointers would be appreciated.
