I'm in, don't know the difference between the arrows so I'll go with whatever brand you get the better price on.....I hate to be a PITA but I have no idea as what weight inserts to use....how do I make that decision? Need some advise here.

Don,

Don't know how I missed this thread until now but I am in. Put me down for Zombies with 92 gr inserts.

Mighty fine of you.

See you in the new year.

I need a volunteer to video one session on making the arrows. To make one arrow, we're looking at less then 10 minutes. In return, one of our generous members will be paying for half of the components, So, the person videoing gets to take a dozen arrows for half price. Any volunteers?

So let me know whether you want Zombies, Executioners and what weight insert.
Zombies for me 110gr brass inserts.. :)

Newbie, does not want the half price deal. Mostly he wants to bug me 8) He is already quite capable of making arrows.

I can hear it now..." they're gonna put me in the movies, they're gonna make a big star outa me..." I can sing like Buck if you need the effect.
Seriously, Don. Most leading men are younger, taller, and better looking. :lol: Don't know how many hits on YouTube you'll get unless you put it in the comedy section. And it sounds like you have the correct crew for that! :lol: :lol: :lol:
Just funnin'. You guys have a good time.

If you still have room, I'd like to come. I'll bring my own shafts, but I'll need 16x92gr inserts. Can we order vanes from you too?
