Apologies for the HA HA HA. I looked closer and then your above post. Nice finish on the arrows.

LOL I thought the ha ha's were appropriate for the sarcasm I was intending to impart;)

Finish is a modified massey. Not worth a flip if you need a set done quick but I have not shot a more durable finish. First time to use it and I will never use anything else on wood arrows.

Best Payback Ever!

Hey man, what quiver do you have mounted to this bow? I need to get one for my bow before season. Pictures would help. Thanks.

Bow make: Sammick Sage
Poundage @ 28: 55
Draw Length: 28
Off shelf or rest: Off shelf with velcro pad.

Arrow make: Gold tip hunter GT
Arrow Spine: 400 spine
Total tip weight (insert and point): 150 grain insert, 150 grain broadhead.

Tuning Method(broadhead, bareshaft, adcock, etc): Utter chaos...then bareshaft...once they hit straight I started shooting my broadheads and got them shooting, fletched and got things really on. I did some testing with that setup and I couldn't be happier.
 
Just got my new bow and can't wait for this fall. It's a Centaur Super Curve with carbon limbs. It's a split handle takedown.
Draw weight 46# @ 28
Draw length 28 1/4
Always off the shelf

Arrows: woodies, usually lodgepole pine, some Doug fir and a new twist for me, Beman hunter pro carbons. Total arrow weight of 600 plus.
Simmons single bevel tree sharks(200 grain) cause they make a wicked hole.
I have to add 125 gr steel screw in adapters before gluing broadheads on to get 628 grain arrows on the carbons.

Tuning method, shoot the broadheads and assess arrow flight. I've been shooting stickbows fifty years. Bad arrow flight is easy enough to see.
