Question… I like the finish on those arrows. What did you use (spur, poly, lacquer?) and how many coats did you apply?

I bought em with the finish already completed. Lost Nation Archery did the finish.

🙄 Only if you take everything literally George, which would be the definition of ignorant. Chris was merely using a very common way of making his point. We can certainly speak our minds and say what we will about those who have passed. Noone’s perfect and as far as I’m concerned, to treat anyone like they were, unfairly puts them on a pedestal they don’t belong on. The fact is, just because you’ve met Byron Ferguson doesn’t give you any insight into the type of person he is. Same could be said for Ted Nugent, etc.

I can relate.:lol:
As well as my 4 fletched arrows are flying, and how noticeably forgiving they are, I’m thinking I would do well to add a couple more feathers and even longer ones. 😆

Bruce

Thanks. I tapered, fletched, nocked, and installed the points, but Lost Nation Archery stained and sealed shafts.

The backstop is called “The Block”. It’s a large block of “foam” like layers. Our local club uses them. Picture’s worth a thousand words:

I was going to be buying some from Rick at The Feathered Shaft, but he didn’t have any “ready-to-fletch shafts” at the Great Lakes Longbow Invitational. Instead, I found some super cheap shafts from Lost Nation (they’re 2nd’s) there, and I figured they’d give me some practice straightening and tapering. I’d rather ruin these than some pricy shafts, and if they don’t work out, I’ll just turn them into flu-flus. I really do like using wood arrows! It’s very satisfying.

Can’t speak for Dave, but I buy mine in larger sizes too, so that I can layer underneath them.

Nope, she’s all I’ve got. 😥

Good point Dave. I’ll stop shooting it. I can still shoot my old bow, which is now Tyler’s. He won’t mind too much.

It seems this is my year to break bows.:oops:

Heck no! I don’t think you were being argumentative, and actually I was asking for you guys to question my judgment. I just figured I was sending mixed signals, since I was really just expressing my thoughts prior to posting (hence the confusion). Then I tried to be funny…and failed miserably.

That’s what I figured. Although enough is happening there to cause it to separate. I’m going to shoot it tonight…I think. 🙂

in reply to: Stalk in these? #43429

We were shocked to see a guy wearing a pair of those this weekend at a 3D shoot. He said wears them EVERYWHERE. I regret that I didn’t specifically ask him if he hunts in them. DOH!

in reply to: Lamination Separation #43424

Thanks guys. It’s a 2 piece takedown, so it’s definitely not one solid piece.

Good idea Dave. RE: Moving to Bowyers Bench forum
