I can't even keep up with the birds here! Another foot of snow last night with high winds. More 4ft. snowdrifts to buck the truck through to get to the road. It never ends! Working on an old bow refinish myself . Don't know when I'll see my target again. I got tired of shoveling that path out!

I've never used the wraps or tape so appreciate the tutorial. Thanks for the step by step. I may stick with paint (dip) and glue but it is still cool to see your process each step at a time. Thanks Craig!

That's nice! I haven't shot aluminum in years. But will admit your build has me checking them out again. Lol what is the full length on those genesis shafts? 29.5"? And are you using the Easton insert? I have heard /read that carbon express #4 fit nicely. What is your total arrow weight and length you cut them at.

Nicely done Craig.

Nice job Craig. Maybe I need to try the tape again. I didn’t get the hang of it when I tried before. Jim

20 years in the Marines. Green Weenie had a whole different meaning then. Just sayin...

Good looking arrows. Don't drop 'em in the grass, though.

All I use anymore is the tape Craig, like you just a dab of glue on the ends.Haven't glued feathers on for years.Good looking arrows. John

Not too shabby there, Craig.

I basically do as you just showed.

Craig, If I make it to the Shade Mountain shoot we will have to see how those great looking Green Weenies look with a White Birch Blair bow. - - Marc

Looks like a nice 4 fletch job. The LB shoot coming up.

Craig, im interested in what weight tips worked for ya. I loved the 1820s, tough as nails. Till i had to drop weight. Think i was shooting 100 or 125 grain. Btw, if ya cant find inserts to fit, the carbon express #4 inserts will fit.

Craig, looks nice, But those green weenies will get lost in the green grass that will be coming up soon, and I have a couple four fletch also that shoot good.

I remember Bob Prince and Danny Whelan introduced the Green Weenie during the 1960's for the Pittsburgh Pirates promotion. Looking good Craig.

I used to fish the Pa. trout season the first 4 weekends. We found some remote spots loaded with trout. They may not be remote 35 years later.

I had some green arrows once,they were like bullets...one shot and that was the last you saw of them!! They look nice though!

Them bead heads are sweet I bet they work great too.

But are you going to pinch down the barbs?
