I couldn’t comment on the single convex grind. Don’t know..

I’ve asked Doc the same question about the threads releasing upon impact. He says he’s using lock-tite on the threads. Most of the arrows I’ve seen of Doc’s are his older arrows used in some of the early testing. They’re all wood.

Doc is still experimenting with carbons and other composites right now. Doc and OL Adcock are doing some awesome stuff with arrow testing. He has a real knack at keeping data of everything. He’ll show up here sometime soon, I’m sure. Hopefully he’ll have something new to share. CK

That is a well written post Dave! I’ve tried many times to tell folks that Doc isn’t pushing “absolutes” in anything archery. He’s simply sharing scientific data collected through thousands upon thousands of shots on real flesh of real game. Funny thing about all the nay-sayers is that I’ve seen none of them step forward with evidence that I could compare or relate to what Doc has showed me.

Secondly, the thing I hear the most about the studies is that they were all engineered for BIG BONED African game and the same arrow lethiality criteria just isn’t needed for hunting North American whitetail. BUT, isn’t it?????

I can honestly say that I don’t always use all the data Doc and I have talked about but there have been several opportunities on “whitetail” that I wish I had. We all make a bad shot occasionally. The difference in the arrow, head, and the tuning can make all the difference in the world even when it comes to recovering that one whitetail that got hit bad.

Thanks to you and the magazine Dave for providing a place to share Doc’s data. I hope to see and hear much more data gathered from those beside Doc as well. Thanks, CK
