Default 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:



Before the silver pin striping






Afterward the silver

Its kinda hard to see, but maybe yall can get the idea.



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

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.




Like this one: http://www.ezfletch.com/carbon.gif




With that said I stripped em back off today...changed a few things up abit for no obvious reason.


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!!!!
