They will likely have to arrive in a plain brown envelope that gives no indication of the seditious contents.

If you haven’t see it check out this link on making a horse bow from a PVC pipe.

There are several other YouTube videos on using PVC for horse bows too.

Is duct tape considered traditional?

I’m anxiously awaiting the next update. You are in uncharted water with this arrow. I was very impressed with the flight of those ‘primitive’ (obviously non-traditional) PNG arrows, and the penetration they achieved. What that is going to mean when translated to our ‘more modern’ components I can only imagine.

Ditto that! Stability from my bow is more important to me than is speed. If you have a bad release, as I do, a bow with heavier limbs (physical weight) moves slower, but the heavy limbs and slow limb recovery allows more time for the bow to correct from the poor release, assuming you have a good follow through. That’s a tip I picked up from Ben Pearson, personally. His words were,”Don’t worry about your release. Just use a longer length bow with thick, heavy limbs and concentrate on your follow through. The heavy limbs will whip the string back into alignment long before the arrow is off the string”.

We are just begining to relearn much about archery/bowhinting that was clearly known and understood long, long ago. 💡 Now if the Traditional Archery Police will only permit it’s use …

Troy, the point length on your BHFOC arrow is starting to resemble these primitive arrows.

Egads! The second one looks like it not only has high FOC it also has a tiny winged nock that serves as the SMALL FLETCHING. Heresy! Way too high tech to be allowed. Modern ‘traditional’ bowhunters must not be permitted to see this item.

The vast majority of my hunting has been solo, mainly because there were no other bowhunters around. I must admit though, I do enjoy solitude and have become less tolerant of many folks (not all) as I have become older, but there are few things I enjoy more than taking kids out and introducing them to life in the bush. I did a number of ‘rough camps’ with kids in Africa, where we lived for a couple of weeks at a near-stone-age level, and few times have I enjoyed more.

Troy has it. The closer to centershot the bow the more difficult it is to build EFOC, UEFOC or …. the unmentionable FOC arrows. Whatever your bow type, the highest FOC arrow you can use with it will yield increased penetration (and arrow flight) benefits. So far there appears to be no upper limit on FOC, as far as giving increased penetration and arrow flight benefits.

How bout “Manhattan project”

Is that a photo of what it’s going to look like when the BHFOC arrow hits home?
