Every so often we get threads here that ask to see the beautiful arrows made by members here. And there is a whole lot of talent here. But what about those arrows that didn't quite turn out like you wanted? I wanna see'em! I love ugly arrows like my buddy Jerry eluded to in my gross feathers (http://tradgang.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=044752) thread. Here's a batch of uglies I just whipped up for the upcoming Whittingham shoot.

Good color choices, it's almost impossible to lose pink fletching...I do both my wife's and son's in pink, pink/purple or pink/white combos.

I once made some that were natural ash shafts, 2 yellow and 1 tre bar yellow with a yellow nock. They didn't look too bad until I a desperate friend bought them for a shoot one weekend and spray painted the whole arrow fletch and all John Deer Green. He topped that buy doing the same to his selfbow so he could have a matching set. :scared: !["[dntthnk]"]("graemlins/dntthnk.gif" "\"\"")
