Troy,
Here are the pics…the paper is as follows. Right is the bare shaft, center is fletched shaft with cockfeather out and left is with cockfeather in toward the risor. I will try the leather and i think it will work. What type of glue is best for this application?

Thanks again for the help,
Brennan

Troy,
I will get those pics posted tonight after work (damn shift work). I was doing some more testing and removed the velcro and put a peice of moleskin on the arrow rest. I took a few shots and noticed the fletching was digging into the moleskin and leaving nice little lines. So I started to twist the arrow on the string and shoot until the arrow was shooting with only a small nock tear high about a half inch or so. Now I am shooting with the cock feather in toward the riser. I then shot at 30 yards and the arrows look outstanding in flight. I am not sure if this is the proper remedy but it seems to help. It appears that the fletching is the issue for now…I am sure tomorrow all that will change LOL.

Thanks

Troy,
I use a Kodiak Hunter 46 lbs at 28inch…my draw is 27 inches and I am using CX heritage 150’s with 250 field points, 10 grain rings and 100 grain insert. Arrow is 28 inches long with the 5 inch banana feathers. I have moleskin on the riser and soft part of valcro on the arrow rest.

Thanks

Troy,
I got clean bullet holes in paper with a bare shaft after following the steps…used a fletch arrow and got a 4 inch high nock tear. I am using 3 5 inch banana fletching. I assume they are causing this and if so any ideas on a remedy.

Thanks,
Brennan

Bender,
Thanks for the tip about the nock slip. I have never heard of it and I will be doing some testing on it tomorrow.

Bully26,

I use the Abowyer brown bears and had one chip when I hit a rock once. They said to mail it back and they sent me a new one. They have a life time warranty.

I saw that episode as well….but I think he shot a shiras moose in Wyoming the show is Cabela’s Ultimate Adventures. When he first shot I couldn’t beleave that he took a shoot at that distance. It was a poor showing for arrow performance and if I can get a link for it somewhere I will post it. I don’t recall the broadhead used either but I will check to see if it can be seen on the video.

Doc,

Thanks for taking the time to give such a detailed description of your BH sharpining process. It is very helpful and a great blue print for the non-sharpining fellas like me.

Thanks again
