Arrows / Re: Quiver, by request
« Last post by StickMark on December 13, 2025, 11:14:05 pm »I might use my woven quiver this winter. I find myself ambush hunting more than crawling around, and I take off the quiver in that ambush style of hunting once in place. They are noisier.
Really nice work. Welcome to PA.

Arrows / Re: arrow spine
« Last post by StickMark on December 13, 2025, 11:02:32 pm »Merry Christmas to all. Ryan talks about how the string wants to hug one side, not directly down belly from nock to nock. He shoots off the narrower side.
Also, he shoots "over the bow", not vertical. Watching his videos, he seems to really short draw that bow as he states.
I wear glasses, and have to be more over the arrow, open stance, face more facing target than sideways, to avoid distortion. I find that I can get use to a stiffer arrow, as the paradox seems more vertical than horizontal.

Around the Campfire / Re: It followed me home thread
« Last post by osage outlaw on December 13, 2025, 08:54:23 pm »I bought these from 2 guys who inherited their dad’s collection and didn’t want them. There are 6 Keen Kutters, a WW2 hatchet, a boy scout hatchet, 2 bluegrass, one has the original paper label, and several others. Almost all of them look to be in new condition with great stamps.

Bows / Re: Common mistakes in deflex/reflex bows?
« Last post by Aussie Yeoman on December 13, 2025, 07:48:35 pm »Here's one of the two designs I'm currently playing with. The tips are essentially dead-even with the back of the handle at rest, the limbs pretty straight at brace.
To get this profile, it needs to have an amount of reflex equal to about 80 mm (3 1/4") of reflex on a straight bow. Which I assume would need maybe five inches of deflection during glue up, to account for spring-back.
