Title: Bear arrows, what color?
Post by: PEARL DRUMS on April 10, 2013, 07:32:06 pm

Hey I got a batch of sweet Bear shafts from Bob in trade, thanks again Bob. The shafts are brown, black nocks, and a blue logo. What color were the original fletchings on these? They are 50-55# if it matters.

Thanks

Keep that smart mouth running Eddie and you might just end up with a few of these finished arrows when we run into each other down there! Blue barred it is. The shafts are in good shape for the years behind them. I squeezed the nocks and they flexed nice still.

Well Ive heard enough to prove that Eric. Ive heard 3 reds, 3 whites, 3 blues, 2 blues/1 nat, 3 blue barred. Sounds like there is no real authentic way to do this.

Seems like I have seen more blue and white than anything else.
