Some new huntin' arras

#1 Post by rodlonq » Fri Feb 14, 2014 8:32 pm

Just made a new set of huntin' arras for next weekend. Northern pine shafts and weighing from 613 to 622 grains. I'll need to get some practice in because my previous boo hunting arras were about 730 grains.

Made another 4 x one dozen lots for the crew recently but will try to take better photos and post them here.


Thanks for looking.

Cheers... Rod

Thanks Rod.

Thanks Sue, I think some of the colours are the same :biggrin: Other than that I wouldn't have a clue.

Cheers..... Rod

Tested them out this afternoon. I think my groups are tighter..... or is it new arras (that is slang for arrows Sue :lol: ) syndrome???

Cheers..... Rod

Rod, Let's hope one of those beautiful arrows has a conclusive meeting with a buck :wink: Great looking arrows mate!
