Last year elk hunting, I noticed as I walked back to my bow laying down, that my arrows were reflecting the sun at a certain angle. I have black gold tip pro hunters and was wondering if there is anything I could do to the shaft to lessen or eliminate this? I really like the arrows, don't want to spend the cash for new camo ones, which might do it as well. Any suggestions?

Thanks

I'll offer two comments on this:

1) An option for you to try: piece of 200grit emory or sandpaper, 'buff' the surface a bit to knock off the polished finish. It'll make the arrow a bit more difficult to pull out of foam targets, but it'll eliminate glare.

2) Forget comment 1 and just hunt. In college when I couldn't afford 2 bows for competition and hunting, I used to hunt with a red anodized frame silver limbed Mathews Conquest (competition bow). Aluminum arrows used to glare like crazy, worse than carbons in my opinion. I also used to leave my lumenoks turned on all the time so I didn't have to worry about them not working on the shot. I also hunt deer and coyotes with mirror polished stainless rifles and handguns. If a deer spots glare off of my equipment, then I didn't do my job as a hunter. Worrying about 'arrow shine' is making a mountain out of a molehill. If making them have a matte finish makes you feel better, see comment above, but it's only going to be about how you feel, not going to change how successful your hunt will be. End of story.
