I know there only carbon's but what do you fellas think of this fletching design. I only did one up to see how it looks first, but I think a set would look good altogether in the quiver.
I got the idea from the Masters of the bare Bow DVD where I seen a set roughly the same.
No cock feather but sometimes you have to think outside the box.
What do you recone?

They look great

Are they quiet?

Not that quiet Jindy they do make a little noise probably due to the height of the feather but will only use them for club shoots as There's a little bit of time spent on each one to good for hunting shafts.
Thanks for your reply.

Cheers Wayno

might be hard to find in green grass wayno but they look great.Is it a lot of work doing that feather splicing?

They look nice Wayno. The shape is interesting. Steve

Very nice mate. A quiver full would look nice indeed...

They look like they have over eaten. Good colours but they would look nicer on a wood shaft.

Jeff

Thanks fellas. I spiced them full length first then the little chopper in the 5 inch high back bannana. After that cutt half an inch of the tail and line them up in the centre before gluing.
Yes Jeffro it took me about an hr a shaft but Im pretty slow with these old eyes.
Will get a six pack of them done and post a few pics.

I'll get a little practice in first on the splicing Jeff and yes the next ones will be on wood. I hear you have a little Doug/FIR just hanging around in your shed doing nothing. You could always just cutt them up into 12mm billots and send them up I would be glad to make some arrows up for you.

Cheers Wayno

Yeah mate I still have some Oregon in the work shop but knowing how things go it will spine up too weak for me unlike the stuff I gave away to you know who.

Jeff

WHO

Don't you WHO me.

Jeff

OK............the arra's look great Wayno.

Look great

I like em.

I foresee another busy day in the near future.

Well was busy on the weekend doing a few sets up. Some carbon, some wood, some spliced and some plain.
The spliced set turned out well. Jeff Remember those D/Fir billots I got of Keith at Gladstone which originated from your back yard shed well these are those. Me first hand made shafts, I painted them as well just to keep them all Traditional for you, the size ended up a little between 23/64's and 11/32's but spinned out at 70#. 160GRN tips and 610grn total. They fly like darts out of me 65lb Recurve.
Cheers Wayno

Wow...

They look fantastic Wayno!

Very nice Wayno!

That's right keep rubbing it in that they spined so heavy. It makes a nice arra alright.

Jeff

I love em Wayno, I been playing with shapes too due to my feather burning fun. When your not too concerned about noise or efficiency one can get quite creative

another nice batch mate,can i have the timber back now,doesn't matter if its got a little bit of paint and feathers on it

Nice job Wayno, they look great.......Rod

Thanks fellas its all good fun, Im still saving to get a spinrite cresting machine to get into some really good wood shafts and fletching patterns.
But am of to NZ on monday and may stay broke for a little while yet.

Cheers Wayno

Good luck over in un zud mate,dont forget to take your swimmers

Hey mate it was a max of 11 over there today not to good for us northerners. Got three days R&R Hunting leave approved in our second week so hope to get something to ground.

Cheers Wayno

Well dont forget the photo's

Wayno,
Nice handy work. They look great. Do they have a cock feather like the carbon you were playing around with.
Cheers,
