Phew.....finally glad to have made it to this point, and it's a pleasure to be here amongst our sponsors.
In recent months I have had the enjoyment of teaching my daughter and several neighborhood kids to shoot Trad. One of the things that struck me was how much they loved and talked about the cool looking arrows I would build for them. For instance, my next door neighbor is career military and is presently deployed to Afghanistan so I made his son a set of arrows in Army colors for him. His Dad came home recently for R&R and thought this was the coolest gift ever. He didn't even know his son was shooting a bow.....lol

The contagious nature of the kids' excitement inspired me, and after years of making arrows for myself and a few friends, I have decided to offer for sale top quality, colorful youth arrows. I've watched these kids get really excited about shooting, about their arrows, and this makes me feel good about the future of our sport in a small way. Their excitement about shooting and colorful arrows inspired me to produce the same for other kids and here we are.

The specs on the arrows are:
Surewood 5/16ths Douglas Fir Youth Shafts spined under 30# to fits a wide range of bow weights. Length to BOP is cut to fit your young archer. Full length shafts are 32".
Each set of six is hand straightened and weighed to within 10 grains – the weight grouping will help with a repeatable trajectory making it easier for kids to become consistent and enthusiastic with their results.
100 gr. Glue on Field Points - no crimp-on points here. I have seen too many "bounce backs" at 3D shoots from kids shooting crimp on points 10-15 yards from the target. I use these points for target penetration and thus....SAFETY, also better trajectory and FOC for accuracy.
4" & 5" Shield and Parabolic Fletching
High durability 4 coat gloss finish.
Bright youth colors for boys and girls with matching cresting - Let's face it, kids love cool looking arrows, and they'll search for them a little longer if they miss their intended target.
I have lots of colors and combinations of colors that I will be offering.

It's a great day to put a smile on a young archer's face.
I've got some of these for my kids and let me say they're the only arrows they shoot! When they miss they look till they find them no matter how long it takes! Great job Rob.
