Just kidding. Alot of folks love blue and pink claiming blue stands out since there is not much else in nature that is blue; making them easier to see and find.
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.

Interested to see how your arrows tune.

I figured that other than against the sky the blue would stand out. These feathers stree only available in a few colors hints the cheap price.

Last night I put the second coat of tung oil on the new arrows and finished setting up my second string for the bow. Calf hair rest was a major improvement over the super pad and then I took my arrows from my flatline out to the night range. I believe elysian and my camo bow are within a pound of each other at my draw length and are both cut past center. The flatline arrows fly pretty well although I suspect them to be just a tad weak. They will definitely work if my new arrows are not finished in time so I'll be able to hunt with the new bow regardless. On the night range I shot at a dark target and had a little light coming from the house. Started a 10 yards and eventually back to 20. No way to see the bullseye just shooting by feel and form. Last group of the night was under 4 inches at 20 yards on a target I could only see the outline of. I think we are in business people. Oh and I touched up my broadheads making sure they are good to go.

You are ready to rock and roll Dave. Now, if we can just put a deer in front of you... 8-)

So the new arrows will not be ready in time for the hunt oh well. So go to backyard and start practicing with my current arrows to see if any adjustments need to be made. This bow has an interesting sound unlike anything I've ever shot, it has a signature sound that is all its own. It's quite pleasant. Most longbows that I've shot have a thump and most recurves I have shot have more of a whip. This one really has sort of a whip thud. And it's pretty cool. So I'm shooting pretty well I've made four maybe five 4" groups at 20 yd in a row. I'm shooting my last round of arrows and I get to my last shot I see a Coke can in the yard near the target and I take a crack at it. Here's the results I don't think I could ever duplicate this shot.
