Try allegheny mountain arrow woods. Bill is an excellent craftsman and an all around great guy to work with. Hes got almost every hardwood available (i get my ash shafts from him) including laminated birtch. Arrowwoods.com is his site.

I agree, very cool basket hood! And i finally weighed my arrows with the 160 grizzlys and they came out at between 708 and 704 grains. pretty close for a dozen ash arrows i thought!

still waiting for the 160 grain grizzlys to show up in the mail, but tapered ash with a total weight of around 685 to 695 grains.

I love these type of threads! im kind of a sucker for fancy arrows!

in reply to: Question… thoughts on BH Tuning #22077

My cousin just told me about this, and it might help you. O.L. Adcock has an essay about bow tuning, and in it he explains arrow tuning with broadheads and field tips. its about midway through the thing, all 18 pages of it, but its all well worth the read. hope this helps!

in reply to: Vanilla Cover Scent tip #22041

Never thought of using vanilla before, but i have played with the thought of apple scented air freshener like fabreeze… or would that be considered “baiting”?

in reply to: Where do you get your wood arrows from #9148

I get all my shafts, feathers, nocks ect. from Allegheny Mountain Arrow Woods. Ive gotten ash shafts from them for the last 5 years and have been nothing but pleased. Bill is a great guy to work with, and i suppose it helps that his shop is only a half an hour down the road.

in reply to: fletching glue or tape? #9133

Just finished up a dozen using the fletch tape. I do the exact same thing only i put a little drop of glue at the nock end of the feather as well. Just a little extra insurance if i get caught out in the rain.

in reply to: 2 Blade double bevel and 3 blade vs single bevel #59329

Ron, thanks for the quick and in depth reply! That was exactly the can of worms i wass looking for. Your comments on the blade sharpness make perfect sence. And now that you mention it, i do remember having talked with my cousin in the past about how hard it was to sharpen grizzlys. Could be he just wasnt getting his sharp enough. Thanks for the insight, that pretty much settled everything for me. I have always heard about how well the grizzlys penetrated, but never heard anything about the blood loss. Seems like when people talk about penetration, they always talk about the grizz, when they talk about massive blood trails, its always the woodsman. Could be the real problem is just getting them sharp. Thanks!

This is the first time ive been on this site, been on all the other trad/primitive archery sites, and so far from what ive read, im very impressed with the atitude here. I might just stick around for a while…

in reply to: 2 Blade double bevel and 3 blade vs single bevel #59227

I hope i dont get in trouble for chiming in on an older topic, but ive been trying to decide between the woodsman and the el grande grizz all summer. My cousin who has been hunting with a recurve for 20 years has used both, and its been his experience that the grizzlys dont leave as good of a blood trail. No doubt about the penetration, im totally convinced of that, but my only hesetation on the matter is the blood trail. Can anybody put my fears to rest on this one? Not trying to start anythin, just so happens ive been thinking on this one for a while.

I understand the last comment, but id still like a little more convincing.
