I Finally Finished them—First Set of Custom Woodies
Just finished up a fresh set of Douglas fir arrows I built myself and wanted to share them with you. These were a full hands-on project for me—custom dyed feathers, “poor man” splices, and I even mixed the wine red paint myself (came out a shade darker than I had in mind, but I don’t hate it. The paint lines definitely need work, I could have done one more layer of white, and the overall design measurement are far from perfect, but that’s part of the process and learning curve. Because I love math and knowing my equipment, here are my Specs: • Total Arrow Weight: 506-512 grains • Arrow Length: 26 inches • Grains per Pound (gr/lb): 12.5 • FOC: 15.4 % I built these as my 3D set. I’m excited to get them out, shoot them hard, and see how they hold up. That’ll tell me a lot before I dive into building my actual hunting arrows—which will be a whole lot less flashy 🤣 Always open to feedback from you guys— Can’t wait to put these through the wringer.
