Yeah, man! That’s cool. Reminds me of me and my first longbow. Thought I was stud Marine or something until I tried to sting the dang thing @ 65#. And there I was considering a 70#er cause that’s what my wheely was. UMMM! Grasshopper learn!!

Glad I’m smarter now somewhat about both stringing a bow and poundage one ought to deal with. Somehow the old days seem to be getting further away!

Thx! Maybe I should have said Asian folk. I was thinking that part of the world in general. I can believe the difficulty.

I wonder if a thumb ring that Mongolians use would be somewhat release like? Looks like a good way to bust your nose if you didn’t grow up shooting that style.

Ya, I’ll be delving into finding some heavier screw in points. Just gotta order some. There is a bow shop here but never been in it as it’s totally wheels and speed oriented. 400 gr. is a heavy, heavy arrow so 160/200 gr. points may be a problem. I go see.

Yeah, yeah what feathers?

[Ralph]

But:

In all honesty

You know,

It’s these feathers behind

The bow

That are more trouble

Than feathers on arrows

Or no!

You better believe it’s feathers I’m talking here!

Perfect day it was for shooting!! 72 deg./5 mph wind!

Not near as tech as Troy’s work but a start for me on feathers and FOC. I usually use 3-5″ and 125 gr. on my 2016’s. I tried 3-4″ w/145 gr. and all worked great. @ 20 yds. there was negligible point of impact but the arrows definitely stuck in the 3-D targets deeper. I didn’t calculate the FOC % and it wouldn’t be much methinks, but the weight forward and less feather is good and with aluminum shafts it also weakened the spine with the heavier points so that is good as at 47 #’s a 2016 is a bit stiff. I realize it’s a different world with carbons but putting the horse in front of the cart works better period.
