Finally have my arrows finished for the season!
With only 2 weeks to spare, I finally finished my arrows for the upcoming season. It's a labor of love that takes me a lot of time but I enjoy every minute of it! These are mahogany shafts that I got from Kevin Forrester, of Forrester Wood Shafts. He makes the best hardwood shafts available in my opinion. He also sends 14 shafts when you buy a dozen. The shafts have been dyed, had designs burned onto them, colored with markers and paint, and sealed up with polyurethane. The finished weight of my arrow this year is around 640 grains which is over 100 grains lighter than I normally shoot. I am, once again, hunting with 190 grain Meathead broadheads. They are easy to sharpen and get the job done. Come on September 15th!

Any leftovers after season should be displayed in a showcase somewhere! Look great as always, hope you get blood stains on some of them, thanks for sharing.
Re: Finally have my arrows finished for the season!
Wow, those are very nice arrows!
I'd be a little worried about shooting them after all that work.

Re: Finally have my arrows finished for the season!
Thanks! I used paint pens and permanent markers. I spray on a few coats of poly to keep the paint from running and then I dip them several times in poly. I don't sand between coats of the spray-on but I do between dips with 0000 steel wool.
