Too pretty to shoot

Decided that I wanted to try some footed arrows. Found some shafts that I liked (at a price I could afford).... cedar shafts with a purple heart footing. Thought that brass tips should look pretty nice on them.


Added a purple heart reinforced selfnock and had some feathers spliced. Not too sure about the spliced feather idea though as the base thickness varies quite a bit due to the splicing process.... makes gluing them on a bit of a challenge at times.


4 coats of dipped gasket lacquer. They seem almost too pretty to shoot.

Still have a half dozen of the shafts left.... want to experiment with cresting before making them up.

they sure are pretty

theysure are pretty but the question is did u enjoy making them, i shoot pretty wooden shafts for the looks they get at the line and it always gives me a reason to make more and come up with new ideas for them, good work and good luck on the cresting
