VA's Urban Archery Season starts Sept 5th and runs until March 27th. Here we go sports fans. Hopefully pictures to follow.
VA.. Tell me about your hunting arrows.. Arrow Material, broadheads, color your arrows?? Color of fletching? nock color?? What colors you like and why. woodsman Sept. 15 is our opener
Chris, I used to spend a lot of time making really pretty cedar arrows. I would sit around thinking of feather and crown dip combinations. Anymore though I buy Gold Tip Traditional shafts and slap on whatever feathers I have laying around. I just bought a Bear/Victor magnesium TD and an old Bear spring quiver. I was thinking of making some cedar arrow to shoot out of it. My color choice has always leaned toward a light walnut stain with a red crown dip, white hen feathers and natural barred wild turkey c0ck feather.
I can understand your liking that color combination, it sounds great.. I'm trying some GT's this year, black marble wrap, yellow feathers and nock. I like to see my arrows but being red/green color blind it takes some brightness like white or yellow for me to see it very well. They still looked a little drab... and I did have a can of bright yellow enamel paint in the shed... well, now you can see them in the dark.. ha!! woodsman
Good luck brother, we have a week from Saturday! I can't wait to walk in the woods with my Son that morning!
I need to mention that the early urban archery season that starts Sat is doe only. We have to wait until Oct 3 to shoot bucks.
Good luck, and good shootin' VA. Bring home the backstraps and have fun. That's all that matters anyway.
