I have a 64″ Dryad Oracle for sale. The bow is 55lbs, Reflex/deflex design. It has an Osage riser with bamboo cores under canary wood veneers. If you want to see pics let me know. They won’t upload to the classifieds for some reason.

Thanx,

Duncan,

Negative sir, but thank you. Either way ill just have to deal with it.

I have shot a Black Widow and it felt pretty heavy. Is there a bow sling for easy carry?

Thanx,

Joel

I have been to the site. I was just looking for a review or opinion.

Heavy? Maybe I can talk him into lightening one up a little? I hunted a Longbow this year and the lightness was great. As long as one would be lighter than a compound it may be OK.

Thanx,

What characteristics should I look for in the fade out? I assume that the fade out is where the limb attaches?

Thanx,

Thank you for the responses.

What about phenolic? I read somewhere that phenolic flexes and any flex in a riser is bad.

If a synthetic/man-made is cheaper yet better that may be the way to go? I’m too worried about eye appeal. The bow as a whole needs to be rugged and quiet.

Thanx again,

Just hunt from a tree. The climb up would be quite the experience. Please have a camera handy!

What I meant was if you had some “tuned” arrows but not the way you tuned them in this thread. This is the first time you tune for a straight shaft at impact, right? Usually its just so that the bareshaft hits center with no attention to nock, right?
Before the above question is answered… there are two types of bareshafting. One pays no attention to flight only that it hits center and the other is into a target adjusting for a perfectly stacked impact?
Thanx in advance

I’m sure you’ll be ok with a three yard paper tune.

Nice, here comes the bareshafting fiberglass fishing arrow thread!

I hunt deep south Texas and right now with this drought its from dead leaf brown to dead grass brown to shades of dying tree greys. Up in mid Texas I hear its charcoal black and wildfire orange. Sorry.. probably a bad joke.
Anyway… I’ve heard that deer see UV colors? I saw a commercial a while back claiming that a deer can see you glow? If your detergent doesn’t completely wash out or if there is lint. It will flouresce as if it was under a black light. Do I need a high-tech UV killer detergent? Maybe I just need a lint brush.
Thanx in advance

Troy,
This is a great thread, thank you.
That’s what I had been trying to do and you showed it possible.

I don’t mean to make this complicated but… do you have some just paper tuned or just center shot(bareshafted) laying around? Im just wondering if you could defletch one and see how it sticks in your target?
The reason I ask is because my first arrows were fletched paper tuned at just 3ft and I wound up bareshafting the same length. Maybe there is a shortcut?
My tuning is not perfect but my point is that I seem to get the same flight. I get a little low right corkscrew flight at the same length.
Thanx in advance.

Oh yeah… form and release can also be an issue.
Why do we do this to ourselves?

Troy,
The archer that helps me and CS out sometimes has that problem. He will just mark his good flyers and move on. I guess when u own a shop u can do that.
I had one arrow that shot better after I pulled it through some hay bales and flattened down the fletching for some reason. I’m starting to think that shafts nor fletching are perfect then enter broadheads.
I’ve been told not to tune with broadheads but the way things are going that seems like the only next idea I can think of.
I’m going nucking futs with this tuning stuff. For now its good paper tune at 3yrds and 10yrds and how it sticks in a 3d. With all the factors its tough.
Them someone mentions nock tightness? Oh great!

[Bully26]

in reply to: pics of todays bareshaft tuning. #26503

Me and CS I think have gotten our wires crossed on this issue. I worry about flight and he worries about centering his shot. Now the bareshaft is making some sense.

While bareshafting, can the flight also be cleaned up?
Thanx in advance.
