Archery

Does anyone have any experience using a splicing jig? after last weekend I now have a collection of arrows that have snapped off just behind the point and I am loath to scrap them seeing as I only made them in February

Ozzy I use Tophat long points if the break is just behind the point, that way it makes the arrow the same length again.

I will have to have a look at those

I thought you sold that bow?

 

[Cromm]

Belongs to a friend if you are taking about the recurve ? The longer bow is my Howard Hill.

That looks like your nice little Samik Steve .. I liked that toy

 

[Cromm]

The bows a Grozer which I used to own, this one is 50lb at 28in mine was 62lb at 28in. It was a nice bow but twitchy.

 

[Cromm]

Or you try these heads for your shorter arrows ozzy?

 

[Cromm]

Looks like it's going to be a wet weekend, should be fun to do some archery in........

Are those the top hat jobbies?

I saw the forecast and just made a cap for the quiver, its still going to be a great day out

 

[Cromm]

Good idea ozzy, the second lot are the tophat adapters heads which are long but you can get the long heads which are designed for broken arrows, which is the first arrow photo I put on here.

Can anyonr please reconend a string maker, I am after one in dacron, endless loop preferred and in brown and green, the bow is a bear grizzly amo 58" 45#

 

[Cromm]

Hi, how long is the string on the bow at the moment ozzy?

 

[ozzy1977]

Steve its 55", although it looks in very good condition I don't know how old it is just that its isn't the original one, so for piece of mind I thought about a new one.
