Doc. I got a quiver full of them gorgeous fletching.

I gave up on the BIG helical fletch, it only masked good arrow flight,it also sounded like a flu-flu.
With good EFOC I don’t need much to guide my flying hammer 😯

in reply to: Dynamic spine #59937

Exactly what the doc, said is what I have been experiencing with my trying to get to 35-40% UEFOC, I added another 245 grains to my all ready front end loaded arrow and it only moved vary little, my shaft is to heavy.

It is a combination of a super light back end and a super heavy front end, to get to the UEFOC.

I am thinking of going to ether a 400-500 ultra light carbon arrow, if I go with the 500 it is 6.4 grains an inch, that’s only a 179.2 for the shaft weight 😯 I think I will need to do an internal footing to stiffen the spine, to be able to handle the heavy front end.

The 400 is 7.4 and that’s 207.2 for my 28 inch draw, you might say that’s only 28 grains, more that the 500, yes but it’s 14grains off of the back end of the arrow and that will move my UEFOC up.

With the 500 it is lighter and has a softer spine, yet I can stiffen it up using internal footing as I have done with my current arrow.

It’s all fun, I will get to 35+ UEFOC and I will post the results.

Dr. Ed Ashby wrote: David, are those impact breaks or breaks created by the animal moving with the arrow still in him?

Simply moving the weak point of the shaft farther back was also what I observed when using the all-parallel internal Footings too, on oblique angle impacts. It was only after going to the tapering back section Intertnal Footing that the shaft fractures ceased to be a major, major problem.

Ed

Yes, Both broke from the animal after the shot, I have not had one break on the shot just the animal running or rolling on the arrow.

I don’t know if there is anything that can stand up to a rolling boar or elk.

My goal is to jump through everything, thus saving my arrows 😆

I have been working on making a tank killer arrow, ( it has so far eluded me )

These arrows are triple footed, what I have found is it only moves the weak spot back on the shaft.

#2-#3 is missing a section still in the hogs chest, the arrow went in and stopped with the for end sticking out the other side and as it rolled it broke off both sides of the arrow.

#1 exited right through the scapula and broke as the hog ran through the brush.

Mark I haven’t shoot woody’s in about 15 years, I use to like doing feather splicing and dipping etc…..

You got me thinking maybe I need to make some woody’s 😀

Nice build along
