Cane Arrows (by a Master Arrowsmith) (pics)
mullet:
Art,good to see you on here.We even got the shot on video.The sad part was the arrow broke at the foreshaft.It's fixable.
DanaM:
I just noticed on the trade points they appear to be shapened on one side only and on oposite sides.
Is there a reason for this??
artcher1:
Fix 'er up and send 'er back out Eddie! No danger in the air if'n there's no arrow in the air you know!
Dana, I use both the single or double bevel edges but I'm starting to prefer the single edge better these days. After reading Dy Ashby's report on single bevels I pretty much sold on the concept of greater penetration if bone is encountered. Notice the right hand bevel along with the right hand fletch. If I use a left hand bevel then I'll use a left fletch. Single beveled blades twist or rotate as they travel through a target unlike double beveled blades which plane true. Match the rotation of the arrow up with the blade's bevel and this supposedly creates a greater spiltting/separating effect of bone. Or something to that effect.-ART B
mullet:
Jeeez's Art,That's why your the man.Never thought of that.
DanaM:
Thanks for the answer art, it never dawned on me that one bevel would affect rotation. I'm doing some trade points and
found its easier to sharpen just one side I would never have considered the spin factor.
