Very nice set,

The green dye almost looks metallic laquer,.. dont know about retrieving them when shooting in the forest. The might be hard to find...

Are they for target practice? Did you dip them in the leather dye?

greetings from the netherlands,

Stefan

Thanks for the comment hb61.

Stefan, They are to shoot, whether at target or game.  Maybe a little hard to find, I usually use blunts or judos, etc. when shooting in the woods.  I used a cotton dye applicater to put the stain on, then let them dry and rubbed them down with a rag to buff.  They were hit with a satin spray on clear coat before fletching too.  Thanks for the comment from the Netherlands.  8)
