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.

After a while, the money side will flip.

Those are sweet buddy!

Thanks. Not bad for an am-itch-chur, huh?

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.

If I bought them I would agree. But since I made 'em...I can always make more, right? :D

Besides, these are probably too stiff for my Bears...shooting will tell the whole story. But that won't be for a week or so, waiting for everything to cure 100%.

Another up side to being able to crest your own arrows is that you can crest in some lines to check for proper brace height

True. Should have thought of that. Oh well, next batch.
