Working on tuning some shafts
« on: June 01, 2017, 07:43:54 am »
Been crazy busy since got back from Marshall, but late last night I mounted point and put self notch in this one. I trade with ksnow at Marshall. One of my stone point Red Osier hunting arrows and a nice obsidian point he picked out for about 30 store bought shafts he picked up that were spined to heavy for him. 1/2 dozen tapered shaft 67 lb spine 125 grain point 31 1/4" long. Bare shafted almost perfect first try.

Thanks Pat, I thought they might work. That's pretty much exactly the same numbers that worked for my tappered shaft Red Osier Shoots. I'm thinking I might be able to tighten up my groups just a little bit with these shafts they look pretty nice. Thanks Kyle

Glad to hear those shafts will work for you.  Maybe some day I will start shooting heavier bows.  Thank you for the beautiful arrow and point.  The wife has already laid claim to the point, it is destined for a display case.

That's great Kyle. I really gotta start working on organizing all my stuff. I did finally hang a bunch of my bows.

BJ looks like the center of that target has a little missing from it.

Yea Rob and I've been picking at the corners for awhile now to. My son picked it up yesterday and said it was lighter than it use to be. Maybe get a new one for Fathers Day.

Kyle, I like this one so much I ordered the ones I got from the benefit auction at Marshall to the same specs. I'm happy with our trade, hope you are to.

That's great shooting with a very pretty arrow. I am very happy they worked well for you. I am planning to make a tobacco bag from the mink I got in the blanket trade, I'll post pics of the project.

Thanks Kyle
Thanks Hawkdancer, if I keep shooting like that it won't take long to wear that spot off my target to. Hopefully get a new one for Father's Day. The kids all noticed how worn out it is. I started in the center moved to top spot now working on the side and bottom.
