Cresting my Carbons! Pics inside !

my attempt at arrow 'cresting' I pretty much did this because with every 2nd shot my arrows would imbed themselfs in the dirt & grass making it almost impossible to find only using your eyes.

The picture with the outback supremes shows how vivid the fluro paint is.
This isnt even the true colour of it ither, you should see it in the dark.
You could spot your arrows, but you wouldnt be able to spot the game.

Here is a fake field test I made in the front yard, just shows how easy it is to spot. the other arrows are almost impossible to see from distances !
I used 125Gram Spray cans of fluro pain, I cant remember the actual Brand name and the colour though. I also Primed the arrows with white befor spraying the colour.Didnt finish with top coat to protect it but still only costed me 8 bucks for 6. ( cheaper than loosing onr arrow )

Good job. They should be easy to find. You might need a camo fletch covering on your bow quiver though. :D

I like white arrows as this colour stands out the best at twilight, which happens to be the magic time for hunters. You need to see your arrow in flight to determine where it's going to hit (or miss). This not only helps you find your arrow, but more importantly tells you whether you need to follow up a blood trail or not, because sometimes when you can't find your arrow, the mental image of the arrow in the air in relation to your target is all you have to go on.

I'm a big fan of bright, easy to see arrows. :wink:
