Final Missouri hunting report, and question on poor arrow flight...
mullet:
It sounds to me you might not have found the stiff side of the cane arrow if they were flying wacky. Or with the shorter bow you were having a problem with a consistant nock point. But I know you know all about this stuff. I'm shooting one of James Parkers'bows right now that is 43"N to N and it is shooting real good with cane arrows. Another reason might be small, light grained stone points that is throwing the spline of your arrows off. Making them just "fly off", like a shaft without a point. ???
zeNBowyer:
No one can be criticized for missing squirrels, after all,
the whole purpose of squirrel hunting with bows is to totally
befuddle your mind and lose all your favorite arrows:)
You actually hit your target, that's a success;
could you tell your draw weight, is this a wood bow or fg bow,
were your arrows performing well before your hunt?
I think cane arrows are an art form unto themselves, it takes a lot
of craftmanship to make a superbly performing balanced set of arrows

No deer in Missouri? Where the heck are you?

Lots of deer in Mo.. Taken a couple with my sticks this year. I live near public land with great hunting and plenty of room for hunters if you ever come toward Springfield.
