Title: What is an "arrow pass"?
Post by: Freeflynick on June 17, 2020, 11:23:27 am

I was cruising through some old posts and found the pictured bow by "adb" which has an inlayed "arrow pass". Can someone please explain what this is and how it is used?
Thanks!
Nick

It's just a locator for arrow placement and usually wear resistance although that shouldn't really be needed with proper arrow spine.

Thanks Pat - so its basically just a reference point so you are placing the arrow at the same point each time? Thats what I was thinking, but was wondering if there was more to it.
Appreciate your response!
Cheers,
Nick

It's a place here the arrow passes.
I glue on a piece of leather.
