I make my bunny thumpers down and dirty with leftover supplies and a few coats of shellac. I realize their life span is likely quite short. I used ox blood, yellow and orange leather dye, gold silk thread and MSU feathers ;). The tips are 125 grain steel blunts.
-
only saving grace is the MSU feathers...walmart wolverine wienie! >:D
-
Take the picture down, my eyes hurt looking at 'em. >:D Just for kicks maybe I'll see if I can make some uglier ones Chris.
They'll do the job though and should be easier to find in the snow.
-
Those are my thoughts Greg. I challenged Pauly to make uglier arrows to.
-
if nothing else, you should be able to find them in the snow. ;D
Are bunnies color blind? :o
-
Pat that is the sole purpose for their ugliness. They stand right out! I think bunnies can see color because when I wear orange, they dart around me. When I wear camo, they hop right by, or even pop a squat 10 feet away. Just speculation, of course.
-
Those should work. Hope to see a picture of one next to a rabbit.
-
Yeeesh ???, well you shouldn't have to worry about anyone stealing your arrows. ;)

We should annually hold an Ugly Arrow Contest! The winner gets everyone's arrow! (THAT'LL TEACH 'EM!)

Don't get it ..... those are BEAUTIFUL!
-
You must suffer from the same affliction my dad does, Mike. Color blindness!
-
And I thought your were a Michigan fan not a Michigan State fan.... ??? ???
By the way, no losing those suckers in the briers....I like um

Big guy I am a fence rider. I love both teams equally. I was born and raised a Michigan fan. But the last 20 years Ive rode the fence. I love Tom Izzo and Mark Dantonio. They are classy guys making classy young men. And Izzo signed a bball for my wifes benefit, gotta love him!
-
I understand totally....Louisville and Kentucky???? :D ;)

oh man, id hate to be the rabbit those ugly things hit lol talk about hit with a ugly stick! . nice arrows im joking of course.......whatever works!Tony
-
I just don't see how they are ugly but then I would wear clothes that looked like those arrows if it wasn't for my wife. I am slightly color challenged.
-
Nice looking arrows.
How many feathers do you put on yours?
-
I use three 4" un-chopped feathers Rob. It slows them down, but very little. More than anything they are easier to find and a 30" 50-55 will fly from a 40# bow as good as a 50# bow.
-
I put hot pink on for feathers Chris.Hav'nt lost them yet....lol.Show you a picture of these brutes.Dogwood a little longer to account for bulbous end with spent 20 gauge brass ends.Close to 800 grains apiece.Think they could possibly knock things out a little larger than rabbits out with impact.......but like it's been said many a time it don't hurt to over build.....lol.Sorry for bogaarding in with pics on your thread.

Another +1 on the ugly arrow contest, sounds like that would be a lot of fun!
-
Damn, I like those dogwood shafts. I bet they fly real nice, right?. I should try dogwood since I like heavy arrows...
I think I'd do pretty well in the ugly arrow contest :D
-
You bet they fly good.On the right poundage bow of course.They're 60 to 65 spine on my home made accurate spiner,but because they're a little longer the spine is a little less.What is it 1" longer reduces 5# of spine.I thought people we're going to show their ugly arrows....?

I will simply refer people to ANY arrow I have ever made!

With Spartan green feathers, they should get the job done. Nice job Chris.
-
That should do the trick and should be easy to find should you miss. :)

I'll have to remember this Tip; make ugly arrows so I don't have to go in the Briars looking for them. You did good, Pearly Boy.
-
I agree they are ugly
But should get the job done nicely
-
Seems ya shoulda taken some of those Spartan-fletched missiles down to Dallas and distracted those Tide players!
-
I agree with PNewton love those Spartan flecthings. Izzo is a good man he comes all the way to our Huron count right to life diners.
