I think my wife would second Robin; think being the operative word! I really can’t cut a design with a lawn mower anyway…probably end up lookin’ like mange…:?

Best,
Danin reply to: New Grizzly coming soon! #16947Robin,
No problem at all…thats what we are here for! 😀
in reply to: New Grizzly coming soon! #13791Thank you Ron, Dave and King those are some great tips. I have always used Vasiline but will not be using that this year after your suggestion.
No wheels here…just a great bow that really likes the arrows I am shooting through it and they top the scales at 550 grains from my 49 lb bow. Bring on the mice…:twisted:
in reply to: New Grizzly coming soon! #11271Ron,
How do you recommend sharpening the single bevel heads i.e. how many strokes on the bevel side versus the non-bevel side to knock off the curl? Do you make your strokes towards the centerline of the head or away? Thanks for the advice in advance.
I am jealous Dave! When I lived in Montana I always loved the September opener. Here in Michigan we have to wait for October 1st then wait for the temps to cool down after that. By mid to late October I am usually in the woods pretty regular.
KING!! Great to see you again!
Dave…I do have the brass in the arrows but the adapters are aluminum (hesitant in light of the Dr’s finding’s. Keeping my fingers crossed). I agree whole heartedly on experimentation but school is starting in a few weeks effectivley consuming my free time. My bow is shooting bullet holes through paper with the current arrow set-up which brings me much confidence. If I had more time I would definitly switch to a steel adapter and re-tune…in fact I think I am going to do it next spring for turkey not that they offer much in the way of heavy bone 😀
in reply to: EFOC (20+ %) and Aluminum Shafts #8218Michael,
I totally understand. Being newly married and a full-time college student money runs very short on supply around here too. Good luck with your endeavors in EFoC arrows.
in reply to: New Grizzly coming soon! #64131Are they available yet?
in reply to: EFOC (20+ %) and Aluminum Shafts #64129In my honest opinion I would shy away from aluminum all together. Carbons are much easier to get EFoC, they last forever (barring breakage) and are always straight. I have had real good luck with the Easton Axis arrows. The small diameter coupled with Dr. Ashby’s criteria make for an unstoppable arrow combo in my opinion.
Michael,
I am shooting Easton Axis 500 N-Fused Carbon arrows with a 100 grain brass insert, around 40 grain aluminum broadhead adapter and 175 grain Abowyer Brown Bear broadhead. My total arrow weight is 550 grains from a 49 lb Black Widow Recurve.
Sounds like a heck of a set-up Dave. Ol’ Wapiti better watchout! I too have been getting great penetration in foam with my 24% EFoC arrows. Needless to say I am very excited for the upcoming fall. The only thing I am worried about is the aluminium broadhead adapters. I wish I would have tuned for steel but it’s a little too late now. I am hoping whitetails won’t cause to much havoc with them…we’ll see I guess.
Thank you for sharing, there is some valuable information there.
That is some great info Dr. Ashby!
