Re: Who bare shaft tunes their arrows?
I will do a proper write-up of the experiment and detail the method used so others like yourself can examine my investigation technique and make comments. All you need to do Dennis is whip the feathers off a few field pointed arrows, shoot them alongside some fletched shafts of the same spine, then...

Re: Who bare shaft tunes their arrows?
I have no doubt of its inherent usefulness as a tool to correct intractable faulty arrow flight, but only AFTER a problem has been established. But sometimes the problem may never be realised, with feathers correcting the shaft well enough to give what appears to be good arrow flight. Bare shafting...

Re: Who bare shaft tunes their arrows?
I do as it helps me shoot more accurately with fletched shafts, be it in a target or hunting scenario.

Re: The things you see when you aint got your bow.
They are related to the collered peccary or javalina which is native to Texas, New Mexico and Arizona in the U.S. and Mexico where the white lipped peccary also ranges. I believe they have musk glands like the javalina so be careful if you kill one when skinning or you will stink to high heaven,LOL...

Spent a day on a very nice dorado river last week. Was invited to fish there for the day and check it out with a few to guiding anglers on it.

More South American wildlife. These birds have come down from the mountains to feed on fruiting trees. Only ten minutes drive from town. They are very flighty and hard to get close to. http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc220/tommogb/Toucan_zpsddccf14e.jpg http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc220/to...

Five months in Bolivia - Image heavy
Spent five months at Tsimane Lodge Bolivia last year, guiding fly anglers on golden dorado. Worked a lot with the local Chimane indians who were incredible hunters and great shots with their bows. Below are a few photos that I thought might be interesting for some. http://i214.photobucket.com/albums...
