Title: Cresting Hunting Arrows
Post by: elksnout on July 28, 2020, 10:10:22 PM: Saw a few youtube videos of using white spray paint to put on cresting.
Although not your typical work of art it does seem like a quick way to add a better visual for hunting arrows. And not needing to strip vanes off in the process.

Anyone try this?

Thanks

What type of paint did you use?

Thanks

I use Krylon. They sprayed AFTER the arrows were fletched? I'll have to look that up, seems kind of bass ackwards.
