Funny you should post this. I happen to be in need of arrows. I was about two weeks away from putting an order in at rudders bows for the english longbow arrows. What's your pricing and options look like?

You've got my business for sure. Your now 1 project behind jun my queue. If my bid for a Brescia Spadona falls through I'm going to have to divert some of that money to your arrows. really good looking work. So nice it'd hurt a little to fire them and eventually wear them out. only hurts a little though so I'll be shooting those bad boys.

Rocky,
I am seriously considering asking you to make me a dozen for this month coming up. All my arrows are crap cajuns that did not even have the shafts tipped so any time I hit something hard they broke off from impact.

I was thinking about the russet color feathers with the cockfletch being green
(I realize I run the risk of making it hard to find but they will look so good in my quiver!)

Shoot me a PM when you have a few minutes and we can talk. :mrgreen:

Hey fellow rangers I want to post a correction, the male peacock flight feathers should read "Faux". Actual Peacock flights are very expensive(Cheapest I could find on line were $3 a piece!). They are referenced in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales as the fletchings on the Yoeman's arrows. The dyed turkey feathers that I did are a spot on match though, if I do say so my self! Pics to follow!
