Those are looking pretty good. How do they fly. That is whats important.
  On your arrows with broadheads you should add more wrap behind the heads. I do about a inch or so to be sure the shaft doesn't split if you hit bone.

pat it has been to wet for me to get the kids out and shoot the broadhead are butted up against a hardwood dowel inside the cane I didn't i would have to wrap as far if i placed one of them inside as well but if you think i do then i'll get right on it.

If you are going to use them to hunt, then yes add more wrap.  ;)

Do you soak your wrapping in superglue?  I soak mine twice and they really take a beating before they start to fray.

Nice job on the arrows by the way.
