Dave–
I only mentioned the Paris remark, because an old friend [ avowed cognac connoissuer ] said it could only be used in specialized and proper applications. one of which was my comment. I can verify it is very apropos in that scenario -haha. Roger the Margarita/beer time of year. I always prefer fine bourbon for the backpack application.
I too am preparing for the fall – is the orange stuff a liquid,gel, paste?

Dave –
Not sure about the orange bottle scentless Waterproofing. If I find some I will check it out.
I heartily agree with the “good whiskey” comment [ For medicinal purposes only of course]. However I thought cognac was for mid – afternoon girl watching from a sidewalk cafe on the “Champs Elysees” in Paris ?!?

Since we are talking about cutting down Carbons in small/accurate increments. I was wondering what other members use to accomplish this. I have tried a numbered of field expedient methods, not all wildly successful. I am trying to avoid paying $250.00 for the advertised cutters.

Bounty Hunter —
Cool Arrow — Looks like something the Southern Plains tribes would have used.
I am not familiar with Laminated Birch – is it Normally that much heavier than other woods?

DWC —
I find that the Carbons seem to hold up better for stumping,especially heavier / collared ones, though nothing lasts a long time in my part of the SW{rocks }. Check them good after each use! I find carbons can be damaged but unless you flex them, you might not notice. With Aluminum it is usually obvious when they are done.

Doc – Roger that!
I just picked up a couple in different spine to experiment with–and then wait for the big sale to purchase what I need after following your very well written post on tuning. great call — wally world is every where [ for the good, and the bad – and I understand the bad – having lived in the “middle of nowhere in a couple places* ] I travel alot – and it is nice to know that I can pick up “ammo” if I need it! Yea, I carry the necessary items to rebuild an Arrow if required. they might not be pretty, but could save the day under dire circumstance -haha especially in the West! A lot fewer Trad Bow stores in easy reach– at least here in the SW.

* written up and documented according to the 1890-92 census
for the close of the “Frontier”– some of those places are still as they were** – 2 of which are – Sandhills of NE / and West Texas [ big bend area] I have lived/ worked in both – still almost as they were. Scary part – there are wally worlds -in easy reach of them !
too many people on the planet — good habitat is worth it’s weight in gold!

** no# of people per Sq Mile– NE still had local school houses — just like the Old West {until Recent} all ages –

Dr Ashby –
Thanks, I figured as much on the ” Pile Driver” – the write up didn’t sound like it did, what they claimed.
Good Call on wally world, I just went down there and picked up some CE shafts.
