Who makes long and stiff arrows?

Black eagle sells 250s There are even 150s in carbons. And I dont mean the carbon express 150 which is a 500 in reality. I mean there are 150 deflection spine carbons. But you’d have to have a 90# bow to get that right even at 32” I don’t know what your shooting as far as draw weight and...

carrying arrows

Bow quiver all the way! I tried a back quiver and a side quiver, I couldn’t seem to get them to stop rattling around. Broadheads sheaths are dangerous. If heard a lot of stories about folks getting impaled after falling. With a bow quiver there is minimal movement to get the arrow out. If you...

New guy

Congratulations. Welcome to your new addiction lol. Bow setup: The loop part of hook and loop Velcro is sold with a sticky back. You can use that as a cheap arrow rest material for shooting off the shelf. Samicks don’t radius the shelf so you will need to put a tooth pic or something under the...

Gluing to adapters

If the Ferrell tite failed it could be that the adapter doesn’t fit your broadheads taper very well. Wood can flex and crush a little bit so it is easier to fit on wood shafts. I have had to shape my adapters to fit. The best thing to use is JB weld for metal. I’ve never had one fail using...

Bow Strong

This is true, but not entirely. Obviously you are correct with the same arrow weight a heavier bow will be faster. However arrow weight is also incredibly important in determining arrow speed. Engineers of the archery industry have long ago agreed that 10 grains of arrow weight per pound of draw...

Eclipse Broadheads...Werewolf Bow

I don't know anything about the bow sorry. The broadheads are great though. They have the same design as the zwickey. I've shot both. I prefer the zwickey myself because the steel is just right for me to sharpen and stays sharp as long as I don't mistreat them. The eclipses can be difficult to...

How long can a recurve be strung?

Glass bows have a much higher tolerance to being left strung. I would be willing to bet that it hasn't lost ANY weight, let alone 5 pounds. My father has a recurve that has been strung for several years and it still weighs the same as the day he bought it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
