Every year I make a new set of arrows to use in the upcoming season. During the decoration phase, I usually flame crest them a bunch and then let my wife paint on them to really make the designs come alive. This year, all I did was burn a design at the crest line and then turn them over to her to freehand her magic. She did not disappoint. Each arrow has its own theme that she created with some really cool glitter markers. (L to R) insects, leaves, trees and seasons, camo patterns, color doodles, mushrooms, snakes, sunrise to night, archery, animal camouflage, bird feathers, and clouds.

After she finished her art, I sealed them with several coats of poly, glued on the nocks and fletching, and then attached the points. The shafts are Douglas fir and I went a little lighter this year with my average finished arrow weight being around 575 grains. I used 160 grain field points and 155 grain Grizzly broadheads. Hopefully, I will get to put them to good use in a few months!

That’s awesome. I’d be afraid to shoot them for fear of losing/breaking them. If you make new sets every season, do you use the old arrows as decoration? They would make a cool display on the wall.
