Hardley "bodged together", they are beautiful. I would have trouble shooting those as I would be worried about them.

Nice jOb mate
good judgement comes from experience and experience comes from poor judgement
Nothing is easy. That's why it's called hunting, and not killing

I've seen a lot of these down at the range and the quality of them is amazing.
The photos don't do them justice.
What Andy didn't tell you is that he has a matching pair of shoes for use with this set:
Who said you can't accessorise in archery, huh Andy
Lucky I won't be there this Sunday.....
Common sense; so rare it should be considered a superpower.

Andy,
As always mate..... Bloody unbelievable...???
Cheers Guy...
The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is no where as important as being able to place it in the correct spot....!

Man, they are works of art, pure and simple. "Bodged together"? Mate, you'll get along better with folk if you're a little more humble about your achievements!
Lately, if life were treating me any better, I'd be suspicious of it's motives!

I have had the pleasure of buying some of Andy's arrows second hand and used them for years.....they go exceptionally well. One set I still have 10/12 left. I have shot about 300-400 arrows a week with them for a few years and have even spliced extra repair lengths of shafts and they still go great.

That is a new meaning of the word Bodged, I would say Crafted at the very least. There are some really beautiful shafts there Andy.

Saw your other "feathered" product on the Gruen Transfer the other night Andy......fancy such feathered art being knocked off by a bunch of derros.

... Ahhhhh, this thread makes me want to cry
I had almost an identical plan in my mind as your God save the Queen to be Aussie flag, bugger as I ordered Red white and blue feathers specifically for this!!!
I will have to think around this so mine look different - erm apart from the reality that mine will obviously be a much lesser quality.
Great work Andy, very inspiring indeed.
Cheers
