That’s a neat article. I’d love to see more detailed photos of the quiver and the arrow, although the photo featured is excellent. Thanks for posting this. best, dwc

And then there’s the big mossy rocks that pretend they’re stumps. I bullseye those every time! Dwc

in reply to: Aluminum vs. Carbon with feathers #34504

Get ready for some opinions on this one. Any arrow that you can tune and shoot straight might be the right answer. I started with wood, went to aluminum, then moved on to carbon. The reason I went with carbon was for durability. I was busting and bending too many shafts, mostly when stumping. I’ve built a good arrow that gives me high FOC and is very durable. That my reason why for my vote for carbon. I’ve read here that hardwood shafts are also very tough and shoot really well. I think aluminum is really accurate and easy to tune. I just kept destroying them.

Welcome to the trail! Dwc

Preston,

Congratulations! This sounds like an incredible opportunity and one that does not just get passed out without excellent qualifications. All the best to you in the new territory. Please keep us posted and if you have anything, like a facebook page or website that updates what is happening out there, please share that, as well. I wish you all the best. peace, david

Steve, I’ve tried that tactic any number of times and it just never works. Those nice white arrows won’t get lost in the snow now. best, dwc

Cameron, That seems like a good idea. I like the visualization of shooting into a ball rather than a flat target for preparing to hunt. Looks like you’ve been tagging it pretty regularly. best, dwc

Thank you, no. I shot the recurve before the longbow and it’s still set up the same way. Operator error, I’m sure! d

Mazie,

Welcome to the fold. Robin, aka Webmom, might be able to help you find a copy of that magazine. She works hard to keep this thing running and to keep us all in line!

All the best to you, david

That’s interesting. I haven’t had a point be driven back into the shaft. The brass inserts I use have a collar. I’ve had shafts split a little, but nothing that allowed the point to be driven back. One thing I didn’t think about when I wrote yesterday is that I put aluminum collars on my stumpers, both front and back. You might consider trying one of those. Prior to using the collars I might get some splitting on the end of the shaft after a solid impact with a rock, even on the nock end. Now I don’t have that problem at all. They only weigh 5 grains, so adding one on the front wouldn’t change much at all. best, dwc

Wojo, I don’t have footing experience, but it’s hard to imagine footing giving that much more strength than a long brass insert and a quality stainless steel adapter inside your broadhead. I’m using Beaman ics bowhunters and a stumper has to take a pretty straight shot inside a rock to damage it and then it’s only knocked out of line not broken.

By the way, I’m probably 300 miles from you so if you need a real safe place to hide your bows…. Dwc
