Default "Pimp'n" out arrows, the $$$.

The $18 G5 light up nock got me thinking, if you could "pimp" out your arrows, how much would it cost, i.e. $18 nock, $15 BH, etc etc etc, not to mention bukoo bucks for a shaft. Another question, one hunting arrow (tip too tip), how much does yours cost. Mines only like $20, but it seems like a lot, for me.

well lets see here for a rough estimate....for a pimped out arrow of mine, not what ill be shooting this year.

7.00 per shaft w/blzers
10.00 luminok (only on one of my arrows)
00.75wrap
12.00 G5 striker

_________
$29.75 apx. per pimped arrow.


wow im sick now, i had no idea....

Now heres what i plan on spending this year... a little better shaft and if i use a luminock, it will be one i already have, if i can find the thing... and I got a deal in the g5 strikers so they didnt cost me quite that much this year.

9.00 shaft w/blazers and gt nocks
6.00 G5 striker
00.42 speed nock
+
_____________
$15.42 per arrow, thats better

Total of about $8/arrow.

insert= $1.00
Head= $6.15
Feathers = $0.90
Total = $13.45

Arrow; 90/12=7.50
Feathers; .44x3=1.32
Dip and crest; 1.50
Broadhead; 8.00

For a grand total of $18.32. If you were to add a G5 nock to that, run that to 36. If you were to add a Rage broadhead instead of the SlickTrick, make it 41 and some change. And I'm shooting relatively inexpensive arrows. Lets take, just for fun, a Carbon Express Aramid KV. Better add another 9.16 to that, making each arrow a nice, round......50 dollar bill. Ya'll, I have to work almost 4 hours to afford 1 arrow.

Have I mentioned I sure like my dealer discount? 50 bones for 1 stinking arrow. This crap is getting out of hand.
