Got 16 for $12 figured if anything it would be neat to refletch them and just see how they all shoot different and the like. Anyhow got to group them today Three of these Six of these One of these And two of these guys If anything the six 400's made it worth the $12 YouTube expert "The bird of Hermes is my name , eating my wings to keep me tame"

From experience if they aren't bent to awfully bad they can be straightened with an inexpensive arrow straightener and fly good enough for competition arrows The job of a Patriot is not to protect his country but to protect the people from the tryannical government

From experience if they aren't bent to awfully bad they can be straightened with an inexpensive arrow straightener and fly good enough for competition arrows, as used to straighten ours on regular basis.

Saw a dozen wood arrows at a flea market couple years ago still boxed up, been kicking myself for not getting em.
