Flight arrow design & tradeoffs
Badger:
Thats really good! When are you going to test them out?
Lukasz Nawalny:
in next week. I dont have very big expectations, I be happy with shoot over 300 m. It is not quite flightbow - little to long and I have very safe , heavy string. I dont push this bow to the limit, a lot of work with hornbow and Im little affraid .
Buckeye Guy:
Hope it does better than you think !!
Selfbowman:
Newby Arvin ! I was burnishing some different flight arrows this weekend. A dim light came on in my little head. I was wondering if compression in the shaft would change the spine or weight or length . I clamped two boards on my bench and established a length. I checked the spine and weighed the arrow. I then commenced to compressing the shaft with a shaft tamer and straighten as I went. Well I noticed no change in the length. The spine did not change . The weight came down 3 grains. Must have squeezed the $&&@ out of it. Ya I know I'm bored. You guys ever got any different results. Arvin
Badger:
I have tried heat treating arrows from different woods, some it makes almost no difference and some it makes a very measurable difference.
