Simmons Broadheads!

Jerry really stumbled onto something when he noticed that the Black Diamonds he was shooting began to fly better after they had been sharpened alot and began to develop a concave edge.

I think the availability of inexpensive and accurate chronographs has opened a lot of doors for average guys to experiment. It's not exactly "archery", but it has had an effect.

Pretty cool Browning huh?

Obsidian heads! Happened many thousands of years ago but just think what the inventors must have thought when they put the first one through meat.

For kids and bowfishing I have to say No-Glove that slides on the string and subs for a glove is a great invention.

Here are a few more:

The clicker. Yes it's mechanical but this little device has helped tons of shooters.

Jay Kidwell's cure for target panic.

Double Bull and similar ground blinds.

Reparrowman, I saw some arrows with your Cherry tips. They look great and saved the man $6.00 each on his broken arrows.
I have Also seen the Bow Bolt. I met Craig at Denton Hill some years ago he showed me his bow. His bow was a long bow and the work was top of the line. Then he showed me how it broke down. This is the slickest thing since the greased pig. Just stick it in give it a twist and your in business.

What about an understanding, tolerant wife?

Flatstick · August 04, 2007, 02:45:00 PM

I would have to agree with TradGang !!!!

But I have to ask,,,,do you use the floppy ruler and Viagra together?

Arrow wraps are nothing new, I have some 1956 Stemmler arrows with them on. When looking for advancement in Archery just look at Papa Bear and all he did, from shooting gloves to bow quivers, stranded fiberglass and screw in points. No Gloves is another one that's been around since Hector was a pup.

Sweetland Forgewood compressed cedar shafts - heavier, stronger, front weighted.

I am always looking for some of these, if you know where I can get some please let me know.

I saw David Soza posted on the thread and because of his modesty he failed to mention his DAS bows!

Although this and many others mentioned are relatively new the inventions, ideas and innovations don't have to be new just significant in your eyes!

That said laminated limbs have got to be one of the most significant.
