I'm more impressed that you are using aluminum arrows.   Send it!!!

"Game Changer"
 :IBCOOL:

My Dad made his own set up in the 60's and it got used a lot with all kinds of different arrows for a lot of years. There were a lot of those moments in the 20 years that followed. Fun stuff!

Yep.  Running different colors will definitely throw the balance off...

Hey a fellow Easton Camo hunter user. Can I ask where you got those nocks?

We all have long nights on the fletching jigs haha.

I'd have to guess those specific nocks are at least 25 years old...(along with the arrows!). Just recently peeled off the feathers and went with vanes...Yeah, I'm still slinging telephone poles...

I did just recently pick up these guys and they fit well...

It's like wearing your hat backwards, just showing you are a cool kid. :chuckle:

I did that once, but happened to notice it after the first fletching.
