I plan on making a few arrows in the future. What are some tips to making them look nasty?
-
A wicked paint job 8)

Pretty arrows are nice, but well tuned arrows are even better. I would start out by trying to build the best flying arrow you can first. Best of luck to you, and we love seeing pictures around here!
-
Use a piece of screen from a door, the old metal screen type thats hexagonal in shape. Use that as a mask and lightly airbrush snake collors over the arrow. The screen gives it the appearance of scales.

Crest them with real snake skins. 8)

Kewl idea!

Define "nasty" :o
-
If you are trying to make them look like Orc arrows they probably won't fly worth a dern.
-
Roll them in dog poop??

Isn't that what the English did a Agincourt? >:D >:D

Can also do this with a torch. I found an old metal wastebasket that had an interesting punched out chevron pattern. I cut a piece out and rolled it into a tube. You can slip it over the tail of the arrow, run a propane torch over it quickly, and make cool patterns.

That's pretty cool

Eddie,
I think that would make you evil... :) :)

Make them from rose canes and leave the thorns in place. Then fletch them with razor blades instead of feathers.
-
But stick a rubber sucker on the front. Juxtaposition is truly terrifying.

And pink cresting with a Hello Kitty logo.

Great, just snorted sauvignon blanc out my nose! How do you expect me to look hoity-toity drinking wine outa my red solo cup when you keep making me blow like a firehose?

I have finally made JW laugh. My work here is done.

Oh no, this was not the first time or the only time. You have posted several of your bows! :P
-
Hahahahaha

You know, had you not posted that I would have been disappointed in you jw.
-
You can almost smell the love in the air, right?
Now that we have totally hijacked your thread, familyfriendlyname, did anything resonate with you?
(By the way, I am looking at a particularly thorny rose cane in my garden and thinking how I can embed double edged razors for fletching. I already got a 3" diameter rubber suction cup for the other end! I swear, I am gonna do this arrow!)
-
Complete with warning note I hope?
-
Gee, why don't you two marry each other?... ::)
I was thinking, maybe using black feathers (or dyeing them black) as fletching...
The rose cane isn't a bad idea, leave an extra few inches with some thorns on, or just darken a normal dowel a little, and blacken the point too. Maybe a barbed point of I can find them cheaply.
-
Check local archery regs. Barbed points are illegal in PA, not sure about elsewhere.
-
The ones I make from Leopardwood are VERY evil looking...lol

Well J.W. I think you have to shoot that arrow out of a cross bow, or you might be missing a digit, or two. As for drinking your wine out of a red Dixie cup, just hold your little pinkie up, or just drink it out of the box. Oh, don't forget to use an embroidered hankie, to lightly dab the wine snot off your upper lip, and chin. I would suggest a nice Brie to go with that, but now that you have nose cheese, on your face, I think you can forego that. Oh as for a nasty looking arrow, how about painting it with a coral snake pattern, or get a a coral snake skin and put on it, and use yellow,black, and red fletching

Skip the barbed point. Use a rusty old hypodermic filled with neon green liquid.

* this post is intended to be amusing. Rusty hypos are dangerous, and should be disposed of safely. 8)

Neon green liquid on the other hand still perfectly safe.
Grab a monster (tm) energy today!!!!

JW: my hunting partner ran into some old timers a few yrs back that hunted with a disabled permit that allow them to use a cross bow. Now the bolts they used were not legal in WA :-X. They had a practice point on the bolt and the fletching was blades. They claimed this combo worked great. Not sure I'd like to shoot them off a bow with hand so close. Ed

Well, that is ONE way to prevent the broadheads from planning thru the air and having a bad affect on the arrow flight!!!

Aint no law says which end the arrow head must go on.
