Very nice mate, hope they shoot as good as they look! Nothin like a set of timbers in a quiver to set off a bow.

Similar to mine mate, but they look a lot neater!

How did you do the cresting, on a jig?

Well done.

Thanks for the comments guys, they aren't actually as neat as they look in the photos gundy, i made quite a few consistency mistakes :oops: , one when one of the lines became erased and i got down to the bottom part of it (the white part) and realised there was no line at the bottom, and that it didn't match up. And i was rushing it a bit because ive been doing it during my study breaks (Got my last exam today! Music, so i'll be going for a shoot with my mate Vaughn(Hills Twinky) tonight!).
And they were done in my cresting jig, a cordless drill and a tissue in the middle of a roll of tape holding the arrow, works pretty well :)
Thanks, Carl

They're crash hot mate, the only thing wrong with them is they have field points on the ends and not a solid 2 blade broadhead.

nice work
