Montana, just saw the TBM “tip” on my email and it spoke of weedeater string but to keep in place gue an insert behind (nock side) of the string???? worth a shot. Gonna calland see of I can get some 340s from an archery shop close by then weight down the front end to spine em right to my bow. If not I will keep the 400s I have worked up now.

Luck

Great info, My 500 grainers are getting it done just about as good as a finger shot bow is gonna get at this point. Agree about arrow flight as well and I am trying to keep the flight and get the weight up – Was kinda figuring to get what I want I will need to get to a 340 shaft. Wish I could find just a couple to mess with before dropping the money on a dozen 340s. Have to call the archery shop!

Thanks for the info yall, keep any and all ideas flowing!

OK I see I will re-read the update – I have heard of internal footing.

Ironcreek – I think 550 will punch holes both sides of anywhitetail walking! I have read about the bone threshhold and am looking to find a way to get to it. Went back and tried 2 brass inserts and got some really funky flight charachteristics out of the arrow!!! Maybe I should go check with a boeing engineer friend of mine. Tried all three my arrow setups this evening and still the originals are the best but they are roundabout 500 grain arrows. I am looking to add another 150 and get good flight but am unsure if it is attainable with a 400 axis.

Going back out to shoot more and to dig in my garage for some hardwood dowels!

Anymore ideas keep em coming.

J

Iron what arrows are you shooting? Setup?

Clay, I have regular inserts with 100 grain steel adapters + 160 grizzlys. 400s are 9gpi * 28.5 + roughly 260 so the shafts are now 516 gpi minus feathers nock. With the brass they are kickin + 100 (616) if I add 100 more (then 2 brass adapters then 700 something. ll really rough figuring mind you. Know your a math person!

Dr Ashby,

I am worried about them riding point down as well, I tried the 600 grain ( 1 brass insert) this morning and flew great – bare shafted well (only have two right now.) Tried rigging the 2 brass inserts without glueing them into the shaft, I placed a piece of scotch tape around them to bind them in the shaft. That was a one shot deal as I forgot to place a plastic trash can behind my target to catch the inserts if they came out after passing through.
In the end I think if the 600 grain arrow flys good after some more bareshafting then that might be my new arrow.

Also what is the IF?? I was thinking of trying to glue a small section of weight tube behind the insert but that would add minimal weight. Though with about 6 inches I could break 650 gpi – which is my goal.

Long post sorry! – will do more shooting after the grass is cut this evening.

Thanks yall,

J

in reply to: Shooting Game Already Dead..issues? #31057

Yeah Clay I agree with you but it in another way this is why Dr. Ashby started the testing – a love for the game animals we hunt. Kinda same thing.
Deer meat rules – my wife could not care less what horns or antlers I show her or come home with. She checks the freezer to be sure I am hunting hard! LOL

Great points,

in reply to: You Favorite Broadhead and why ? #29824

main head I have experience with is 115 – 130 grain muzzys, super sharp, slip and you bleed! 😯

Used many others over the years, thunderheads, phantoms, satellite, bears. I have been shooting 160 grizzlies and love the way they fly, no experience in killing with them yet, but I need some new heads before season and they are coming up with the new and improved grizzlys (slight mods) I may upgrade to the 190s. 😉

Whatever you shoot be sure it is SHARP! when you think it is sharp strop it 20 more times!

They sell a little metal jig for drilling the ends of woodies now. Can’t remember where I saw it but it was neat. Not to jump in the middle of yalls conversation!

in reply to: New Grizzly coming soon! #28943

Using the 160s this year – but need some more as the ones I have now have been “used and abused” on the range. I have to say they have been the only head to last – all others I have tried, snuffs, WWs, WWs elites, have all been destroyed. The 160s are still tickin and just need sharpening to hunt with. But I am going to get some new improved versions as soon as they get out (hurry!).:lol:

Might add they have been hitting the trash I have not cleaned out of the old backyard mound that runs the back of the property. Seems this back edge was used as a dump or someones trashline and covered with dirt??:roll::evil: so been diggin and cleaning but still the arrows find a shingle or brick every now and then – I know when I see sparks fly
Waiting patiently,

in reply to: Ashby forum reborn — please read! #27666

Hi David, Great to run across this forum, will be the first to admit I have not killed anything bigger than a rabbit with a single bevel but have been bowhunting over 20 years using many different style heads, so no expert with any “one” style! HAH Mainly hogs and WT deer with a trip to Africa squeezed in.
Just starting to incorporate some of Asby’s research work into my arrows. Cannot see disregarding such good solid work to make a better killing/lethal arrow. Look foward to reading through some of the posts, try and learn some more from you crew here.

Thanks

Jason
