Who is your favorite Arrowsmith and what are your favorite arrows he or she made??? post any colorful pics...PLEASE!!!! :) MARCO#78
I buy arrows only as an impulse purchase, but it happens every year, sometimes a couple three dozens worth. Brandywine Arrows always has an eye-opening display at Baltimore and ATAR. Seeing all those beautiful arrows makes something inside of me snap, and out comes the checkbook or the all-too-convenient plastic.
Ross and Honey Vickers are wonderful people, fun to talk to and eager to help.

The arrow on the right was a special order for my husband, Mockingbird. He wanted an unloseable arrow...

Joe , thanks bud love to see his work! :)
Man that image of the guy with all his wares makes me realize what I want to be able to do for myself. I want to be able to show up at a show with such a display of my skills. wow.
I see my favorite arrowsmith every day when I'm brushing my teeth.
Yup that's a pretty impressive collection of wares that gentleman has on display. I hope to be able to do the same someday.
I like making my own when time allows. Here are some pics of some I've made. There are 3 carbons and one aluminum in the bunch pictured here. The rest are cedar.

These are some that Brandywine made up for my son. Very well-made, classy arrows.

Here are more from Brandywine. The two on the right are sets they made for me. The one on the far right is old growth Sitka, barrel tapered. Dead straight and tough. The three on the left are "spares" as Ross calls them -- he always has a couple to give my son. Wonderful people and excellent craftsmen.

Man, that's some fine artwork there !
I like going to shows that have a bunch of stuff your intrested in. I do not in the least, mind paying someone for their wares. It's a lot of work to produce the art these people are selling. I do like making my own, but ya just gotta buy something that somebody else made, every now and then. My camera is kinda screwy cheap, (not good close ups), or I'd post a few pics of my own funky arrows, not art like most I've seen here, but cool non the less.
Real nice look'n arrows everyone , let's see some more !
