Just google “carbon steel”. Then google “knife steel”. Many – kinds of steels with different properties for different uses. If you explore this subject, you can also find the types of steel that are just laying around and can be re-cycled into knives broad heads etc. Files, lawn mower blades, chainsaw bars and so on. I have several knives I have made from old Stihl chainsaw bars, (O1 steel) and some out of saw blades and other stuff I have came up with. Heck, some 5061 from 71 Chevy truck springs. The “drawing or annealing” the steel before you work it is necessary in order to soften it sufficiently to file and grind it into your pattern and drill handle holes.Re-hardening is done in a home made forge and then quenched in olive oil, then tempered in my oven. Carbon steels are laying around every where if you want to make your own stuff.

I think for most several different weights provides the options we may encounter according to our Bow weight and shafting requirements according to the size or toughness of the animal we intend to kill. Shafting material preference may be the determining factor of our broad head weight choices. I think that is why several weights are offered.

I do not believe it boils down to the ideal weight. I believe it is a FOC that you should be looking for. Yes, for accuracy the more FOC within reason to your deflection capabilty in your set up should be the goal! Read and study Dr. Ashbys findings! The man is as thorough and objective as it gets and does not prosper monetarily from his work which benefits us all as Bowhunters.:)

Hey Yon I,m already a fan of yours with reference to U-tube and the slow motion videos. I am also a fan Loreen and her songs especially the book of secrets. I also see that you are an Archer who appreciates Sid creations at Border in the use of his very excellent Long Bow. I think you are very welcome here and should feel at home. I bet you are a tough and familiar fella with the outdoors and all it has to offer with Bowhunting and the outdoors in general. I see you also must cherish your animals as equal partners in your life as I do. No horses just dogs here but I love them. You know I have entertained the notion of whether animals are capable of love in the past and realized that they may have wondered the same of us and others who do not treat them with the love they should.Look forward to your participation here! Blessings

in reply to: arrow fletching #44652

Straight or off set a little is usually for field tip use (no broad head) arrows. Straight or off set can be used but the arrow and Bow must be absolutely matched to have good stable flight especially with broad heads. Helically fletched arrows does not hurt a thing with field tip use and also stabilizes Broad heads better. The arrow spinning in flight much like the rifling in a gun barrel helps stabilize a bullet in flight, shares similarities with the arrow and stabilizes quicker as it leaves the Bow. Right or left wing has been said that: Left wing is for R/H shooters and right wing is for L/H. I think this has to do with the rotation of the arrow starting at opposites to deter deflection of the bottom feather leaving the Bow. Primarily for those who shoot off their index with no shelf or rest. I shoot right wing and I am r/h and have never had an issue.:) I would recomend that you use Helically fletched arrows.

If you are afraid of it, thaw it out and boil for your dogs. My dogs are very important to me so a good steak would make them and me happy.:)

in reply to: what bow for long draw length #42113

Longer is almost always more efficient compared to shorter Bows of the same design. They stack less, have less pinch, and usually have more cast. Trouble is, they are longer.:)
