Season Prep

#1 Post by stumper »

Finally getting around to building this seasons arrows. Been doing a fletching marathon and trying out my new bear paw fletching jig. Got my tree seat in and just need to tune them. They ain’t pretty but they fly well. Anyone else building arrows for the season??

Look good to me, Dave! A deer doesn't care if he's hit by a pretty arrow or not.
Aim small, miss small!

Agreed. And making goodies already takes long enough.

Well maybe just a couple more!! That’s my motto😎
So what’s the specs? Are those all for the same bow?
