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.

Those are very nice.  What do you coat the threads with?  Or do you?

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

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