Now that is something I've never tried. Good idea.

Oh, that's a new designed paper cutter. I have the old kind with a long bladed handle that makes quite a sound as you lower it against a paper or a booklet to trim.
Jesus replaces the old covenant and speaks to the believer the moral code of God by His Spirit directly to the heart. He is the eternal, everlasting revelation of God to mankind. In Him is both the knowledge of righteousness and the power to live right.

Yes, these are about 10-15$. Small blade makes cutting these easy. 1 regular arrow wrap will do probably 6 dozen arrows. I buy 9" wraps by the dozen. If you do 1/8" strips, you get 72 strips per wrap of my math is good. So 72x12 = 864 arrows from a pack of 12 9" long wraps. Buying arrows as I do, using the materials I did and finding Turkey feathers. I have about 60 cents invested in each arrow minus stain and tru oil.

Here's the rest of the materials to finish up the arrows. A Duco for points and feather ends. Fletch tape for feathers. I use hotmelt glue and an alcohol burner which isn't pictured for the tips.

I vote green for visibility in the air and to maintain the green theme.

But what do I know. I probably wouldn't have dyed the feathers and used a white knock and cresting :roll:

I will say though, that they look good.

Then again my new 1972 Camaro WAS green. If I was doing that over again, I'd choose orange. :D :D

Either way, it's always fun putting arrows together. Every once in a while you hit that combination,
that may match a certain bow that just looks and feels great.
