It would be hard to loose those, Brad. Very nice work. Do you use a stencil for the figures or are they free hand. Either way, NICE!   :OK
Bow looks cool too.

I just free hand them,,
I was thinking if I came up with one I liked best I would sorta duplicate it,
right now each one is different,,
i dont know if I would have the patience to make a dozen all the same, but might try it sometime,
My friend Kim Brooks used to make some really amazinhg painted arrows, he is my inspiration,
he would even splice 4 or 5 different feathers on one vane,,  I will post some pics of his arrows in the near future,,
the bow is a nice shooter,,about 62 @ 25 inches,,osage,, with african calf hide on back,,the belly is painted

I like 'em all. To my sensibilities  :o, there's a theme to the set ... especially with the bow nearby.

That's a lot of detail work.  Nice job.  I bet they stand out in the weeds if you miss a target.

Real nice work.  Beats my freehand all to heck, I probably couldn't come close if I had premade stencils :)
