Nice looking arrow.

Be even better looking if you swaped the yellow nocks for some white ones.

yeah, the yellow nock doesn't look to good does it. my blazers are yellow though and this is just an experiment. having done it though, i really want some more colors and to do some supremely tricked out splices. only thing is i can't even match colors for my clothes. i'd definately do some black and blue striped ones for my carolina panthers.

I've been fletching my own arrows for 45 years and never have gotten up the nerve to do any feather splicing. I am humbled by your fortitude and skill.
