Guy's and gal's I'm having a problem with some tradgang arrow wraps! I just made up a half dozen 2016's from some old shafts I had laying around and spiced them up with those good looking reflective trad gang wraps, and some 5 inch shield cut white feathers. They look real sharp tipped with some 125 grain snuffers.
Well, I took them to the woods with me this morning and when I got back I noticed the issue. It's hard to explain so when my wife gets back with my truck (camera's in the truck)I'll post a picture so you will all know what I am talking about! :biglaugh:
I will be waiting to hear and see of the tale. Flint
I think I see where this is going... :D
I believe you will be able to see the obvious issue in this picture. This wrap turned pink on me!
:goldtooth:
Any guess'es as to what happened? Well I'm off to the woods for a bit I'll tell the rest this evening.

Now thats just sorry, Its like being in the car with a bunck of elementary age kids going to diseny world..
Are We There yet? Are We there yet? Are we there yet? :smileystooges:
I wanna see why anyone would paint an arrow like that and ruin the fletches :knothead:
Well now that we have seen the problem this is how it came about.
It started out as a crappy November day 40ish and raining and I had to work to top it off. I managed to get out of the plant by 9:00 A.M. to enjoy a rainy November day in the woods! I was settled into my favorite stand by 10:30 and was hoping to see a few rutting bucks chaseing does.
By 12:30 I was soaking wet, hungry, and had only seen a single button buck when I noticed movement across the ridge.
Soon I realized a group of turkeys were working there way through the walnut grove. They scratched around here and there and finaly headed down into the hollow between me and my house. A wild hair popped up and I decided to abandon my stand and try to sneak through the pasture and get in front of them.
20 minutes later I am sitting in a blowdown and hoping I didn't spook them getting there which I figured I had. A couple minutes later I see a red head coming down the old lane and it's showtime!
The group of 6 fed slowly down the lane and passed me at just 9 yards, I was scared to blink knowing how spooky turkeys are, but luck was on my side as the last bird past by me I started to draw. Of course one saw me and they all spooked a little but one paused at 12 yards and offered me a slightly quartering away shot. I picked a spot on his wingbut and watched as my arrow flew right and high putting a snuffer right into his neck! The arrow burried to the fletching and he flopped a bit and was done. That snuffer did a job on him for real!
He just had a smudgen of a beard and little spurs but he will eat great!
