Hi TSHMED

Looks like you have developed a great Ashby arrow.

Above 650 in weight – good FOC. Yes it’s a little stiff. You can try increasing the brace height and / or adding the full insert. Try this and see what happens. Or make another arrow/s and leave it a little longer.

Fine with me Jim

I have not shot in competition in yrs so R2 or Richard might give us some rules and yardages – i like the paper plate( 81/2″ or larger ?) idea. I Havn’t shot past 25 yds in years either —

Yes, NM is shut down too. you can still go to the National Forest , but the facility’s are closed.  Not sure how this will affect the turkey season ( ie will this be allowable travel –)my community is handling the situation   well so far. Best of luck to all. Looks like i will be shooting my bows in the back yard for awhile —

Great bow – I have owned a few over the years, always liked them.  Perfect in the treestand/ blind.  A lot of em on eBay. 50# @ 28 just the ” huckleberry ”

Yeehaa that’s a lot of honey ! Looks like you are set for awhile.

What you saw down on the border was most likely africanized bees.

It was a big deal for awhile and they swarm around like that ( which is spooky to most non bee people) but I have not heard much about them lately.  My experience with them is if you don’t aggravate them they don’t bother you —

Hi Steve

It will be good to have your family with you this summer. Fun and helpful. Especially with the situation. Hopefully modern science will prevail. If we can get people to – “keep your head while all about you are losing theirs ” – and the others to stay calm and work thru the problems. Good luck to all.

Keep the arrows flying

in reply to: Broadhead sharpening ????? #145753

Hi David

Yes on the bench grinder – fast and razor sharp. I will use it to set up a broadhead . I am not lucky enuff to able to hunt from home, or a place that has one handy very often.  Therefore I usually have to maintain edge quality in the field as I mentioned in my other post.  I like and use tuffheads too —

Outstanding story

Very pretty and unique bow. I like the choice of woods ( and the reason for using them)

Hopefully, ya all can set it up for later in the year. I always thought OJAM would be fun to experience .
