Wife's arrows are pretty easy to find!  Pink wrap with 4 pink Blazers.

Beck would not agree. Having to order purple blazers because no one carries them in store. Purple and teal are the new pink.

In the industry you are starting to see this.  I blame it on how difficult it is to find two pinks the same color.  Seems every mfg has a different pink and none of them work well with the other.  Purple, on the other hand, matches fine.  Take 20 mfg of purple and they all work well with one another.

Problem is that buyers are 95% men in archery.  And they think women want pink.  We avoided pink as a peep color offering purple instead.  Could not give them away.  Had to go to pink to get stores to carry them.  But at the shows, women that stop by overwhelmingly gravitate to the purple ferrules and peeps over the pink.  Finally seems to be catching on now.

Speaking of purple peeps, I think I have one In my tool kit we got from you at hunt wa bbq. Think I need to get that thrown on to becks bow unless she has one already. Cant remember.

I really do like running pink fletching.
I run pink and white too or fluorescent red as flex fletch calls them.

Anyone missing the colors of fall?  I am.  Just about anything brown, orange and yellow is triggering my longing for rutting bucks and the drumming of grouse wings.

Justin Llanes from Hawaii called last night just before we sat down to supper.  Said he was going on a little evening goat hunt.  He wanted the blood trails of the four blade HPV, but the long range consistency of the VanDyke.  I told him to run the four blade MadMan ferrule with two HPV blades and two LPS blades.  Figured with the 10 grain collar it should keep weight close to 100 grains.

Goodness...that's pretty close! :chuckle:

A few hours later my cell phone starts going crazy!  You got mail, you got mail, you got mail...picture after picture downloading.  One billy down.  Then two billies down.  Same arrow and broadhead on both billies!  The MadMan Hybrid (aka: VanMastro :chuckle:) putting the hurt on them goats.  Seems to have accomplished exactly what Justin was hoping - good flight, big hole, lots of blood and five yard recovery!!

But there's still hunting light left in Hawaii.  He wasn't yet done.  More pictures downloading...Big billy down.  This time a longer shot, heavy quartering, different broadhead - DelMastro LPV exited through the front of the chest.  Big blood letting holes, great shots, shot to dead goat almost instant.  The guy gets it done in a hurry!

Makes you want to jump on a plane and head for the big island for some critter shootin', doesn't it?  https://www.facebook.com/Big-Island-Outfitters-and-Hunting-LLC-563963023677127/?pnref=lhc
