Thanks for the tip. I assume Big Jim's is hot melt also?
Yes it's all the same hot melt glue if it's labeled Quick Stick. I see Jim now has a stick of it for glue guns now to. Ive only used the slugs.

For better or for worse, here they are. All finished except for the piles (points)
Since these were the other half of the 'Plain Jane' arrows I made 2 years ago, they are 55-60 spine mainly for my Sage, although my Griz seems to like the 60s that Jason sent me, so I will likely try them out and see if they fly OK.

Thanks, Jose. With each half dozen I'm learning things and improving. The biggest thing I learned is that it's quicker and cheaper to buy pre-made arrows, but I do it for the love of it and the interest and creativity involved.

Looks mighty good but never hurts to keep practicing, I would be more than happy to test out the next batch for you before you make your christmas gift arrows. I think yellow and gray would be nice.
