All fletched up and no place to go

#1 Post by Carpdaddy »

Got my new Heavy Hunters fletched up before my surgery using the bargin Bear Paw feathers Shadowhunter turned us on to. Now here they sit wanting to be flung and I can't help them right now. Coming soon!

Looks very professional Tony. How'd you like those fletching?

If you like realism, you could just skip the shooting part and go straight to breaking a few... :lol:

Those are real nice, CD!
Are those the 'heavy shafts' you built?

Pretty good fletching for the price. I was too lazy to make my own this time as I usually do. And yes those are the heavy Hunter 500's, they are 13.1 GPI if I remember right; 13 something anyway, and they have 225 gr up front.

Who do we know that silly as to use purple fletching?
