Back with a pic of the problem and possible solution.
As you can see....the bow is too fast and the arrows tend to burst into flames.    Nobody's gonna want this bow if all their arrows keep burning up.  
The only solution I can think of is to add horn tips that weigh a pound or so.   Perhaps Tom can take care of this.

Thank goodness  :p  aluminum arrows will solve that problem:) couldn't sleep last night worrying about the bow    :(

Awesome!!!!  Naturally Occurring Spontaneous Combustion...  Call it the pyro-bow.

NOw that is a hot bow.  We gotta do something about it.  mmaybe we could make some rebar arrows or maybe take some aluminum arrows and fill em with fire retardant or something.

Now we need some fire proof feathers.

Daggon' John, I puckered up there for a second.

Aluminum might melt.  I think the ticket would be titanium...maybe take a piece of round stock and mill some veins into it.  That should correct the problem.

I'd go with fluted titanium - it'll dissipate the heat better....

Definitely an "Outlawed Bow" here in Oklahoma......we got a burn ban here.

Of course...I just figured fluted would be the natural assumption.   :knothead:

rocdoc

BTW....that is one GORGEOUS BOW!!!

I predict a record high bid on that baby!  Will they take a first-born son in lew of cash?

Ok guys time to tighten up, the auction starts May 31 so we need to get it going.

John,

Tom,

Watch for it so we can turn it around in a timely manner.  Pics included of course.

So THAT'S how they make carbon arrows!!!! I always wondered about that...
Effort only fully releases its reward after a person refuses to quit.

If they are takin first born sons as bids - I'm in -

that their bow can do its own shish-ke-bobbin.
