Happens to me every year...
Re: Happens to me every year...
Some days it just happens, not that often, but it does! First shot of the day about 14 yards and I heard the click of the pop lid! Second at 19 plucked a wild shot. But then nearly hit it again from same distance. Forth and last from 24 yards and the pop lid took flight!! It could only go downhill from there so I quit. Well that coupled by the fact that some kids next door came out to play in yard. Yep, there are three heavy arrows in there.

I tell people, it's surprising just how often you will hit the bottle cap.

I really like that bow!
Nothing clears a troubled mind like shooting a bow.

Looks like it didnt take you long to getter sighted in.
I doing a bit of day dreaming today thinking of ways to up arrow weight and not reduce foc or change spine needs, I couldn't really think of anything better than a half section of tubing. What is the difference in foc between the half section of tube and a full shafts worth?
I also was wondering why try going up in spine and up in point weight, that should net a lot more foc.

Thanks Dave. I did a complete step by step build along in the bowyers section but I think Photobucket took all the photos away.

I used weight tubing in front half, use a dab of hot melt to keep up front, checked but can’t remember foc. The arrows in the picture above have a new trial weight. I used that rubber coated wire that you bend in any shape and it stays. I think 8” was 100 grain. Closer up front, shorter, quieter, and better foc. Those arrows are 25% foc.Longtrad wrote: ↑Wed May 16, 2018 11:57 pm Looks like it didnt take you long to getter sighted in.
