Finished First set of Arrows
 

I just finished my first set of arrows and wanted to show them off. I would like to thank Tom-TN for giving me his top secret formula for finishing them.

Here is another pic.

The Turkey feathers are off of the tome that I shot this past fall and hopefully they will be the down fall of a deer this coming fall.

Looking good. How did you like that recipe? Did it work well for you? My next batch will have Tom's recipe on them.

RE: Finished First set of Arrows
 

Oh yeah, and what kind of paint did you use for the cresting? Did the "secret recipe" effect your crests at all?

RE: Finished First set of Arrows
 

Kevin,

I'm glad to hear that it worked out for you. It takes a little extra time, but the end product is worth it. Let me know if I can help out anymore.


Kip,

If you follow the recipe, the cresting will be fine. Sounds like you are wanting to alter the recipe. The chances are yours to take, hehe. Take care buddy.............Tom

RE: Finished First set of Arrows
 

Nope Tom, dont want to alter anything, just wanted a second opinion. :D:D
I know it will take a bit longer, just wanted to hear how he liked it.

RE: Finished First set of Arrows
 

Oh, that's even worse Kip. Seeking a second opinion? Sounds like getting a second doctors opinion because you don't trust the first one. Humm, see if I help you out anymore, lol. Take care..........Tom

RE: Finished First set of Arrows
 

LMAO Tom. You have done it alot, so of course its easy to you. I want a "first timers" opinion. ;)

You would think I was asking for a second opinion of whether or not Chad needed a new hat. :D[&:]:D[&:]

RE: Finished First set of Arrows
 

Kip,

It is just as easy for me to do the epoxy now as it was the first time. Atleast I think it is, lol.



Regarding Chad's hat, I feel that was his true reason for him bailing out of our last hunt of the season. I believe he feared loosing that hat if he wore it around me one more time. I am still catching hell from the different establishments we visited while he was here. I won't even show my myself in some of them, the embarrassment in more then I can handle. My wife wants me to seek professional treatment. I have finally I gotten to the point that I can sleep at night again, and that's where I am heading now. Good night.......Tom

Kip,

I had no problem at all except that I tried to rush a coat on before the last had a chance to completelly dry. You can get two on a day but they need to be about 6 hours apart ( depending on contidions) with the cold it took a bit longer.

I used Testors for the cresting and had no troubles with it. I dries super quick and I was able to crest two dzn in three passes in about an hour and a half.

Kip if you have never tried it I would it is easy but it take some time.

Tom thanks again.

Thanks Brennen, I will give it a try. I am going to order some shafts either Thursday or Friday on my days off, and hopefully be building arrows soon.

Anyone try that homemade feather burner with the electric train transformer? I think I may build one of those too. [8D]
