Nothing wrong with that arrow at all.
Great job, especially for the first one.

 If that's your first than you have a wonderful future ahead making arrows...

   Other than the one fletch, being tweaked to the left on the arrow, first or not, that is an excellent arrow.  Now grab some more shafts, and get busy!  Besides it's cold out side.
