Nice set.
I have always been skeptical of adding weight to rear of the center of gravity.
Has the added weight changed the arrow flight?
Dont get me wrong... they are a very nice set of arrows.
I have just always added weight forward of the center of gravity.

Nice work hb61!!  I have a hard time getting my fletching wraps to look good, that cresting wrap looks awesome.  Orange kool-aid?  Thanks for sharing.

What weight are you talking about?  I'm confused?

From the picture I see decorated shafts with feathers.  Where's the weight at?

Holy crap, those look nice!! Those colors look great together, I might have to steal that combo for my next batch :)

Post by: hillbilly61 on July 24, 2011, 01:13:08 am

 Thanks y'all

aznboi3644.. It's called FOC- Front Of Center. What he is saying, is the he thinks the wrap will
take away the weight forward, but I still have about 13%. I think that's due to the shafts being cane.

Beetle.... I use a thread epoxy made for wrappings on fishing rods.

mullet...Ya got to put blood on um ;D

Cameroo...Steel away. I don't think I have the patent ;) ;D

 Wayne..I hate e-bay Since paypal took over I got sc#e8 d I had a great (100%) feedback. Paypal held my$$ untill the sale recipiant left feedback. It took a month and half on all 3 sales. Still 100% but I won't even buy now unless the seller will accept a US Postal $ order. I'm going to try and sell them but not on ebay :-\
