Thought that title might get attention for this serious issue .
Now I know there is all kinds of serious diseases out there but I figured this one touchs the most people .
I am putting out the personal challenge to get your arrows this year done up in one or three colours of CANCER .
I feel pretty secure in my masculinity so I`m going to go with a pink , black and something combo .
To help in colour choices
That works too Georgiaboy .
The black is for my mother who has been battling Melanoma piece by piece . A close friend of my sisters lost her husband on Boxing day to it as well .
The pink is for different people I know.
And the more I think about it maybe light brown for the kids .
I got this idea while watching a video . One of the guys shot a deer with an arrow someone had given him for breast cancer . Figured we could expand it .

Will be making some up this week or next . Lost my dad to lung cancer that migrated into his bones . No amount of morphine could make him comfortable with the pain . He died the day before my birthday June 27 ,1994 . Lost my mother to lung cancer in 1999 , Doctors thought she had pneumonia . Both were smokers and had quit but could not have been soon enough .
Well, I'm not sure what colors to use. My Dad passed away in 1991 with what they called Metastatic Cancer. I know he had lung and liver cancer due to heavy smoking, and heavy drinking of hard liquor (alcoholic).
So, I guess I'll go with a base color of white, and go from there.
Genesis 21:20 And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.
Young guys should hang out with old guys; old guys know stuff.
Y'all already know what I shoot in memory of dear friends who have lost the battle and those who are still fighting.

I already have my arrows done up in pink with matching wraps. We lost our oldest daughter Jessie to cancer 7 years ago she was 22. And she was my hunting buddy since the age of 3. She was always with me, now she still is I look at the fletching's and think of her.

I agree with others - a wonderful idea and thank you for the color chart as, before I saw it, I assumed pink was the only color indicative of cancer - was unaware so many others were so symbolized.
i guess i'll be taking a blue marker to the feathers on mine... lost my mom in 1999 to colon cancer...my dad nine months later, but he died after 25 yrs to Parkinsons Disease. I know its been a long time ago but i think of them often and i never forget their birthdays or the day of their death.
