first time splicing feathers
« on: June 11, 2015, 09:14:34 pm »
been getting a little burnt out building bows lately so I've decided to dedicate the next few months to arrows. anyone that's seen my work knows I don't put a ton of time into my arrows but that being said I'm still sick of losing them at 3d shoots. Drew aka black coyote gave me some spliced feathers a few years back and I've been sitting on them ever since. never really found anything special to put them on so I was looking at them the other day and trying to figure out how to do it. this is what I came up with and by no means is it perfect but I'm quite happy for my first try and look forward to playing with it a little more

That combo looks nice Paul, that yellow will make them easier to find sticking in the fence behind the target in your backyard. ;)

Gotta be able to see/find them and your self nocks are invisible. I like it.

nice work!

All my hunting arrows are spliced with chartreuse on the back end....I want to know where I hit a deer!

Yellow is a decent color till fall- pink and blue are two other colors that stand out in the woods.

Some sharp looking fletchings!
... alone in distant woods or fields, in unpretending sproutlands or pastures tracked by rabbits, even in a bleak and, to most, cheerless day .... .  I suppose that this value, in my case, is equivalent to what others get by churchgoing & prayer.  Hank Thoreau, 1857
