They have heavier brass inserts and heavier steel adapters to make the judos match weight. The reasons for dedicated arrows are that I still stump a little in hunting season, I use these to shoot a few shots into a stump or dirt right before heading into the woods and because I don’t want to subject my hunting arrows to the same abuse unless I’m taking a shot at animal. Best, dwc

Can’t argue with that at all.

I do tend to use the same few shafts for stump shooting but I think I’d like to have all of my shafts (minus the point) the same weight.

I should stress that I’m shooting carbon and I really try to avoid putting heat to the shaft to melt the hotmelt to change inserts, etc and GrizStiks are expensive. I’ve ruined a few while trying to remove inserts with heat… I’d like to set-up the shaft and be able to shoot whatever point I need to. I don’t want to have certain shafts that weigh more than others because I have extra weight installed permanently inside the shaft.

Put a washer behind the broadhead and make it 177 and all will be well.. :D:D

Seemed like plenty of threads to me. They’ve survived everything except what you’d expect nothing to survive when you hit it.

I have noticed though there are differences in inserts so in some it may not catch enough threads.

Good Pat!!!

Now I can have one nut behind the judo for weight and one nut farther back to add misses without having any washers involved. :D:D

Someone needs to come up with something that looks like a blunt of different weights only only drilled and tapped so to screw another point into it.

A 10/32 nut and two 8/32 flat washers added made mine weigh 177 gr. 😀

Yep, I swab them out with a Q-tip and alcohol, usually half dz. or so, then put them over the torch , hole to the flame, to dry out. Pretty blue flames 🙂 One might use a bit of caution just cause that goes to say with fire and alcohol.

We so desperately need some of that snow/rain/ice, don’t care which or all three, so maybe we can avoid the wildfires that we’ve had the last several years. We’ve lost a lot of homes and lives. Wildfires scare the s*** out of me.

We’ve got some moisture coming I think/hope.

I really thought about a bunch of y’all today whilst me and a buddy were out stumping. I really did.

Very, very unusual calm day and 72* for us here.

I do sympathize folks.

Our weather is going sour tomorrow for a couple of weeks, but we’ll have nothing like Mass. has had.

A blizzard ain’t good anywhere though. We get bad ones here just not for months at a time.

Best wishes to y’all that’s buried up.

Happy too! Be somewhat worried though if my shadow starts turning gray. 😉

Here’s the old hickory selfbow and it’s grip. Between the two it lets my old wounded hand know it’s an old wounded hand I guarantee:

The shadow is that of one good looking young feller that I know. 🙂

He was once upon a time anyway.

Ditto! It’s a sure, but temporary, cure for my blankety blank target panic! 👿

Ditto, ditto on the blankety blank. It bit me this past Sunday.

Not a hint of it with no other folks around.

Duncan, mine shoots quiet off the shelf. My friend’s problem was not moving the nock set to match the elevated rest and he also had the brace height a 1/2″ too low. No bow will function properly that way. Poor bow was being mistreated.

I shot the Sage only about 10 times before I built a 12 strand fastflite and put on it. That made a different bow out of it. Much smoother and quite.

I have an acquaintance who is a Samick dealer and he told me that there has been some problems with limbs twisting on some of the Samick one piece recurves. He said he’s going to investigate and I’ll let all know if/when I learn anything.

Someone has been watching me. If I’d known my TP would have attacked me.

I have my Sage working for me again. I loaned it to a friend and when he brought it back, good grief he had things messed up. Took my rests off, tied yarn for about 4″ down the string from the string nocks ( the only knot he knows is a half hitch so that was about a million half hitches to get removed:cry:) ). He put Velcro everywhere on the limbs, put a elevated rest on it then said it “don’t shoot for ***t”. I imagine not cause he never moved the nock set.:roll:

So for some feller my bows are off limits. 🙂

Anyway I have her all tuned back and shooting those woodies real well. She’s a 45#’r

I also have have a Samick Red Stag, 40#, on the light side for me but good for working on form, that is nice to shoot

TP? Just remember not to use the leaves that come in clusters of three. 😀
