CONFUSED is the correct answer there.....holy cow are those beautiful........one of the guys that works at the shop does cresting, I just need to get him some sort of pattern idea.....

Thats the one I was looking for. Thanks Greg, that should give Don a few ideas. Or just confuse him some more.
I keep mine clean where the feathers go. When I need to re-fletch I don't have to worry about scrapping paint off the arrow and redoing it! I crested these myself, when I took the pics they weren't finished. I did the same cresting red/black/silver over the Carbon express logo. They look great and are easy to see!

I did just fletch up some Carbon Express arrows for 3D, slinging them at 330fps! See thread!

Well, I am going back to aluminum this year. I've done the light/fast/carbon thing for a few years now, and don't have anything against it, it has it's advantages. I just want to change things up a bit, and after shooting these lincoln log X7's......I REALLY like how hard they hit, and they are forgiving. Suddenly my X count shot up, wonder why??
So anyway, I'm wanting to shoot an aluminum w/ a finished weight around 500 grains ( I still shoot those 282 fps ) and I will be dipping and cresting them. That's where I'm looking for ideas. I know I want them dipped white, and I will be using 4" feathers, 2 flo orange and 1 barred white....
I'm looking for ideas on a cresting pattern, so if any of you have crested arrows, post them up. Even if you have wraps that are in the tradtional crested pattern, I'm interested in seeing them. Don't worry, I won't copy them, I just want some ideas. Thanks.

But please be aware... my Axis 340's are heavy, provide excellent penetration, and are indeed... carbon.

WHAT?!?!? All this coming from the guy that STARTED the 97 page debate stating how "he" would take the lighter, faster arrow over more KE? You kill me Don, one, small, breath at a time. I love it!

You know this is just all in preparation of me kicking your ass at the smackdown this summer, right?? You beat me last year youngster, but not this year!! Muahahahahahahaha....
Actually, it's to satisfy my inquentiable desire to tinker with stuff, figure out what makes it tick. It's how I learn. I HAVE to mess with it..my brain is like a sponge, absorbing everything and anything archery.
You know, I'm actually beginning to think that one really isn't better than the other, just different. It just depends on what your goals are.
ps...you think this one will go 97 pages????
