My perdy arras

#1 Post by Gringa Bows » Wed May 25, 2011 8:00 pm

i made these arras for the up coming shoots,Grahame Amy says that pink feathers fly best, so i went one better and painted the whole arrow pink,i saw Tony Jensens pink arrows and thought the looked cool :wink: anyway my good friend Jeff gave me a dozen matched shafts because i didn't have any :oops: ,so i named them after him :mrgreen: havent shot them yet so hopefully they fly good :wink: :D

Mate...since you've started to spend time with Gidget, I've noticed a few changes! :shock:

You seem to be more in touch with your inner "compound shooter!" ...wanting pretty arrows and stuff! :lol: :lol:

My apologies mate...that was a bit harsh!

...but I can hardly wait to see the purdy outfit you're planning to wear while you shoot those arrows! Wouldn't want to clash with your accessories now!'

I've been told the plan was pink arrows and a purple polka-dot unitard! :wink:

well they're matched good enough for me, :D the idea is when its your shot i'll turn around and show you my arrows,pretty hard to shoot straight when your on the ground laughing :lol: but it'll only work if we're in the same group :shock: there may be a flaw in my plan :shock: :lol:

Ay Rod, I am starting to be quite concerned for your well being, hanging around those young pups. Pink arrows, are they a match for your new Pink Boxer shorts. Do I need to come back and rescue you. Cheers Roadie.
