New Spinrite Crester.

#1 Post by UPTHETOP » Sun Dec 19, 2010 6:13 pm

Well finally saved up enough dollars for a new xmas present but couldn't wait for xmas to use it.
I have always had trouble trying to keep my lines strait when cresting so after shopping around and ringing a few fletchers in the states they all mainly use the spinrite one. So I contacted Dan and ordered one boy I was crazy not to get one all those years ago.
It makes it so much easier and faster to boot. It is a great machine.
With a big wet season coming I know what Ill be doing for the next few months.
And yes Jeff they are all wood and feathers mate.

Cheers Wayno

A fancy bit of kit mate. Going by the cresting you must intend shooting those in ABA competition huh? :D

Thanks for the kind words fellas. Yes Jeff will probably use them for ABA even though I dont seem to shoot it to often these days.
Thanks Gene-o that means a lot to me as I know how good you are with the fletching and arrows as well mate.

Wow, that is craftsmanship at it's best! I'm sure the cresting tool is if the highest quality, but those arrows display a certain abundance of talent in the the man using the tool. Very well done indeed...inspiring, in fact!
Lately, if life were treating me any better, I'd be suspicious of it's motives!

The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is no where as important as being able to place it in the correct spot....!

Gidday Wayno,

The arrows look great with the bow.

Where do you buy the little tins of model enamel from?

Rod got them over at toyworld over near the warehouse.
Will have to catch up in the new year as I need to organize a cutt on the band saw on my new bow form.
All the best for the new year mate catch up soon.
