    University Study - Arrow Vane Designs for Improved Broadhead Flight

    Fascinating Bill, I hope in the future you will do some micro diameter arrow tests. Really curious to see how the data would stack up against Firenocks claims. Dorge cautions against high profile vanes on micros due to increased oscillation. So it would be curious to see how your vane does on an...

    GT airstrike

    Because it’s not true. Either it is, or isn’t durable. These threads that have extreme opinions on either side are obviously filled with a lot of subjectivity. You won’t ever get such a varied response on the RIP. The FMJ crowd is the same way. It’s a great arrow for its intended purpose. Yet...

    GT airstrike

    Even Gillingham says this is not a durable shaft. I would take his word over anyone else’s. Especially since this is a Goldtip shaft. I don’t know why people have to insist that the shaft does something it obviously does not just because they shoot it.

    Nock height adjustments in relation to rest height

    I’m having exact same issue with SS34. Through the Berger I get horrible rest contact with the riser. This was with 2 different Hamskea’s, and an AAE. Had a nock low tear that was almost impossible to get rid of. Only fix was like the OP. Move the nocking point way up. Haven’t measured it but...

    Anyone wish they didn’t fletch their own arrows?

    The only thing I hate more than fletching is watch CNN.

    Help Me Archery Experts

    Only real difference between IW, and Day 6 is one of them will rust and one will not. So depends on the type of environment that you hunt in. If I lived in Oregon, or Washington I would not go with a tool steel.

    SS34 Timing conundrum

    Haven’t even measured it, feels perfect where it is now. When I moved I got rid of my bow shop so I don’t have a board at the moment. Brace is basically correct, ATA, and poundage are really close as well so I think it should be fine.

    SS34 Timing conundrum

    Shop put them on, ATA was off by probably a quarter inch, within an eighth now. I think I’ve got 4 or 5 twists in each cable, coming in at 72 lbs with limb bolts all the way down.

    SS34 Timing conundrum

    My bottom cam was hitting way ahead. I couldn't seem to put enough twists in the bottom cam in order to retard it. I noticed my ATA was long by a considerable amount. I put something like 4 twists into the top cable and it seems to me that it retarded the bottom cam. I thought retarding one cam...

    GT airstrike

    Spine will probably play a factor on how brittle they react. A lot of people have totally differing opinions of the Rampage as well. It’s another high mod carbon shaft. If you nerd out on carbon material properties then you would already know what you want. However if you just want something...

    I can't take the time to aim.

    I can’t imagine trying to sift through most of this information if I was the one looking for a solution. You can just listen to a Joel Turner podcast and never visit this thread again.

    GT airstrike

    Typical high modulus carbon shaft. The price for quick recovery is less durability.

    Tension release for hunting Elk

    That list is too long to even talk about. I’m actually using a thumb button now because the walls on the new bows are so solid. I felt like the Defiant I started with was perfect for a hinge. However now I don’t feel like pulling gets you the most consistent shot. If you shoot a relaxed shot...

    Tension release for hunting Elk

    I have had pretty awful experiences with a tension release hunting as well. Impossible to get the tension correct for hunting situations. Although almost everything I have killed has been with a hinge.
