not so mellow yellows :)

[hickstick]

heres a couple pics of my latest set of carbons.   those who know me know that I'm chea...er...like to DIY....so got some 50 yards of flourescent yellow vinyl off **** for a couple bucks (3.95 to be exact, shipping was twice as expensive), and got a dozen CX terminators for 30 buck.   wrapped and fletched with chartruese fletch and flo yellow nocks.

in continuing the el-cheapo vein.....I searched for a 'cheapo' way to crest the wraps and no markers I found would dry, until I tried   sharpie king size  markers and they worked great.  heres a couple pics:

 

 

forgot to add that the fletch are scizzor cut banana/parabolic hybrids about 5" and 1/2" high.  and they have 100 grain brass inserts and 200 grain ezpull points.

Nice...so aside from the shafts....how much did it all cost ya? They are some sharp looking nanners.

[J-dog]

Looks great, I am impressed. hey I second the cheapo idea. right there with ya. gave me some good ideas.

Thanks

Those would never work for an ol' hippie like myself, that intense yellow streaking away would burn after images that might cause a flashback!

NIce Bunny Huntin arrows.

Sharpies??? Never thought of that..
Maybe I'll try and it might also help out of a situation when the wife asks where her nail polish has gone??  

[Ray Hammond]

not bright enough, though!

NOT  "Cheap".........."Frugal" and Welcome to the Club!! You shouldnt have  ANY  trouble Seeing Those Bad Boys!!
 Do they keep you awake at night,   :cool:  or do you Stash them on a Closet or Something???  Them  ARE   Y-E-L-L-O-W!!      

[hickstick]

thanks guys....yah...like that shakes...'frugal'

manny, its just a pocket quiver I made.  fits in the back pocket for target shooting.  made fomr tandy tooling scraps and scarlet rit dye with montana pitch.

yah....I've been working on my shooting form for the past few months and the yellow fletch makes it really easy to see strange arrow flight...now I just gotta find a way to 'hide' them in my bow quiver while hunting  

[Charlie Lamb]

Cool! Now go make some bright ones.  

[mike g]

Even I can see those....
I think you just burned out the new lense that was put in my eye....

[hickstick]

yah charlie...was thinking about wrapping the entire shaft (which would look like some old bear cedars I bought off of someone who found them in the attick)  


ps guys..I tried regular sharpies & industrial sharpies and neither worked, only the 'king size' seems to work.

[Kingstaken]

"KING" Size.... How would you write in english that monkey talk that Tim the Tool Man says when talking bigger, stronger, faster??

Nice Job!  I'v been watching and learning.  My first attempt with arrows will definitely be inspired by your "expensive tastes".
