Christmas List

I got some archery things on my Christmas list this year. Below are some of things I would like to have.

Arrow Shafts
Select One Dozen, Size 55/75, Cut to Length, Install Inserts, specify 30" shaft length

Bullet Points - these should be sold by the dozen, I would like 3 sizes.
Select 80, 100, and 125 grain, .295" for above arrow diameter.

Nocks - need at least 1 dozen of these for the arrows, but I would like spares because they do break on me
Select, Flo Orange

Feathers Not picky on the brand, just as long as they have this parabolic shape and are RW (right wing)
Select 3" 50 RW
One set of orange, one set of white
Also, some 5" 50 RW feathers in same colors.

Fletch Strip tool - there are two places to get them. The other place is martinarchery.com online store. In fact they sell feathers and fletching jigs, too.

A fletch clamp/jig - Choose straight clamp. Perhaps also get a RH clamp too. Other manufacturers make them in plastic and metal. This link is to a metal one; I'm not sure which I'd rather have. But this is the style I like.

Fletch Glue To glue on the feathers

Block Target - I'd like the portable or pro model. I like the bigger size of the pro.

Update

I haven't updated this thing in a long time. I'm still doing archery. Still not very good at it. Now that the time changed back, there has been no daylight after work to shoot out at the range, so with only one day week of practice, I don't think I've been improving my skill. And, it is getting colder lately....

Not much else going on around here. We are getting ready for Thanksgiving. Have started Christmas shopping.
