Arrow cresting
 

While trying to occupy myself and trying not to go nuts with my injurys I decided to do something Ive always wanted to try. I made me an arrow cresting machine from a sewing machine motor. It turned out pretty good.


Here are a few pics:

Ill get some better pics with a different lens after I get em fletched up. Not bad for my first attempt I think.


:beer:

WOW you were bored......:nut:

looks good though. great idea.....:clap:

please explain the difference between cresting an arrow and painting an arrow.

and what is the advantage of having a beautiful arrow?

Makes the blood look a lot neater!!

CTT, the advantage is that it makes douche bags ask stupid questions. :nut:





Plus its cool as hell. :sun:

Keep up this thread, Stink.
I got over a dozen I need to refletch, be sure and show the tool you use.

Don't guess they have made reflective paint available?

Tsubaki, I will.


I use an arizona EZ fletch...have for years and love it. I have one for carbon arrows with a right helical twist.

With that said I stripped em back off today...changed a few things up abit for no obvious reason. http://www.aldeer.com/al_ubb/NonCGI/biggrin.gif


I am letting em dry for a few days before fletching. I also used some better paint. I didnt like the softness of the model paints. I got another half dozen I can hunt with till I finish em up and test em out.





Bow season opens tomorrow here! Woooohoooo!!!!:sun:
