Testing arrowhead mount
« on: June 23, 2014, 07:53:08 pm »
I plan to do some hunting come Fall so I wanted to make sure I was building solid arrows that were up to snuff.  I ran some arrows by folks at the classic and got some good advice.  Here's a quick video of the arrow and me shooting it.  I really liked it and the arrow went where I intended it to.  Unfortunately I did end up messing up the mount after several shots into the cushion.  I think it was a bad release or something so it didn't hit straight in.  Anyway,  let me know waht y'all think

Just click the picture to view the video!  :D

That first shot, like in hunting situations, was a killer. Those arrows look to fly well.
If you used pitch glue just heat the head a little, straighten the head and let the glue re-set .

Thanks guys.  I'm low on pine pitch so I just used the raw stuff to smooth things out.  It seemed to hold up well.  I did the spin test and it was pretty much perfect.  No wobble at all.

I applied for the sambar deer hunt so that's kind of getting me excited.  Even if I don't get it I want to be hunting real soon.
