Howdy, you can order back issues here:

I must say that it all worked out in the end because Dave said it better than I did.
I need to rest now.

msarcher, did you take the photo of the buck (in your avatar)?

Their resopnse was this, in a nut shell, We have been doing this for 26 years and we have no problem bustin through bone as it is, and see no need to change what we are doing.I believe horse and buggy makers had a very similar point of view when the first motorized vehicles came on the scene. 😆 (I really am only joking)
Tim Roberts wrote: Now, shortly after Dr. Ed came out with the bone penatrating advantages of a single bevel head, Zwickey started marketing one.
Was this a marketing scheme to cash in on all the Dr. Ed faithful, or is there a definate advantage of how a BH will preform in the worst of situtations?There is no way to know Zwickey’s motives, beyond what they say. Unrelated to what Zwickey did or didn’t do, Dr Ashby has done exhaustive studies on this and they speak for themselves. He is the only person I know who has very rigidly used the scientific method in coming to his conclusions. To dispute his results is to disregard facts. At the same time, I’m not implying you must act on it and HAVE to use a single bevel and/or a 2 bladed broadhead, and/or an EFOC arrow. Don Thomas’ article in the Anniversary edition of TBM is a perfect compliment to that point of view. There’s alot to be said for not second guessing what’s WORKED for you, and continuing to use it. That concept is very much a part of traditional bowhunting, and why I switched to it.
in reply to: Mechanical Advantage question #16849Quoting Dr Ashyby’s “Momentum, Kinetic Energy, and Arrow Penetration (And What They Mean for the Bowhunter” study. (Page 18 ):
Dr. Ed Ashby wrote: A long and narrow single blade (2 cutting edges) broadhead will have a higher mechanical advantage than one of equal length and width, but have more blades. Also, as the profile of a broadhead’s blade(s) becomes shorter and/or wider the mechanical advantage becomes lower. Having either a convex or concave cutting edge profile, rather than a straight taper, also lowers a broadhead’s mechanical advantage.
Any abrupt rise in the countour of a broadhead results in a profile which lowers the broadhead’s mechanical advantage. This is why a very smooth and gradual fade-in of the broadhead’s ferrule into the blade is important in the broadhead design. It detracts less from a broadhead’s mechanical advantage.
By design, the bevel on a single bevel broadhead will be wider, which it turn means the “slope” of the bevel will be more gradual, which gives it a higher mechanical advantage than a double beveled broadhead (with all else being equal).

UPDATE 03/30!: Just got my charcoal colored cap.
Now, between my “dark brown” and charcoal colored caps (it’s more like burgundy to me…but what do I know), I have one to match all my clothes. :wink::Din reply to: TBM Arrived Yesterday! #16836Thanks guys
in reply to: TBM Arrived Yesterday! #15676Got it yesterday, right on my birthday. Excellent timing!:wink:
in reply to: A Tip of the Cap to Larry O. Fischer #14786David Petersen wrote: Patrick, I didn’t know you ever took your hat off, to tip or otherwise! 😛 That used to be me for a long time, until I finally “came out” as a closet skinhead.
It’s funny you say that, because I really do ALWAYS wear a cowboy hat, fedora, or ball cap…and alway have.
No joke: Apparently, I had worked at my current job for about 2 years before I had decided not to wear hat. There were a little over 200 people in our office at that time (we’re down to about 56 now!:cry: ), and quite a few of them didn’t even recognize me initially. Everyone thought I wore hats because I was bald. Which in fact is not even close to being the case, as I have very thick hair. It never even dawned on me until then.
I usually wear my fedora when hunting, cocking it off to one side. That, along with the angle of the bow prevents the string from hitting the brim (if it does hit, it’s just barely doing so).
