Interesting Nev. That is a lot of spiral so it should pull them up pretty quick. What shaft material are they made from?

Thanks mate. I thought the shafts would have to be wood because of the nails you were using to fletch them but they didn't look like wood.
You certainly have some interesting effects with your painting.

I thought they were Grizzlystiks or something like that. Onya Nev! You have way more patience than I do ol' mate!
Lately, if life were treating me any better, I'd be suspicious of it's motives!
