Re: Laying out perfect helical fletching with just a texta.
Duncan, The reason I asked you the question, is that it matters very much which side of the feather is angled into.... to face the air flow. Every primary flight feather from a birds wing is an engineering marvel of millions of years of evolution. Each flight feather has a firm and a soft side....pu...

Duncan,
Looking down the arrow from back to front, which way should you angle left wing feathers ?

Re: Aussie unknown but have the same blade
I cant help you with origin of these two examples except to say they are not ones of mine. The very early Outback Supremes were attached to the alloy ferrule by crimping down the nose of the alloy ferrule into a hole in the blade, similar to the Bear razorheads that had the blue and green alloy ferr...

Re: Trad Shoots in 2013
Its a bit hard to work in around the ABA and other local shoots, this year we sort of got squeezed out of 2012. Thats why we got in very early for 2013. If possible we try for a date in November, I will talk about November 2013 out at bow club tomorrow and we will see if we can fit it in. Will let y...

Re: experiment
What style of broadhead was it, a 2 blade, 3 blade or 4 blade. A 2 blade, cut on contact style, will always have more penetration if any bones are hit. The angle of the blades also makes a big difference, a head 3 times as long as its wide ( 3:1 ratio ) is optimum as far as penetrating qualities goe...

Re: testing some judo points arrows for the first time
Judo points are only fit for practice, and in my opinion dont have enough shock value to be any good as a small game hunting head. If you dont like losing wounded rabbits, dont use them. Broadheads work well, but is overkill for rabbits and expensive, as the loss/damage attrition rate on your arrows...
