Default $35 cresting machine

I played with this idea before, and tonight actually made it work.

Take a $15-20 rechargable drill - mine is an el-cheapo WalMart variety. I mounted it in a boadr as you can tell, but its removable with a little effort. I mounted two Chuck Adams arrow spinners ($15 off EBAY ) for the arrows to roll on. My problem was getting the arrow to spin perfect. Problem solved with a couple of rubber bands - they haeld the arrow down against the rollers and it spun perfectly. I use the chuck and tighten it against a field point.

Just another crazy cheap idea and this one actually might work !






And no, the arrow is not crowned the way Di suggests. I spray painted, then dipped in gasket laquer, fletched with DUCO and then tonight I crested it. I was just playing with the shaft because I had it ! I will post a matched set - done Di's way, when I get them in.
