Finally got a nice day so I put some arrows thru my victims bow. She's fairly well tuned in. I kinda like it. Just need to build a shipping box and its ready to go.

buddyb · March 22, 2020, 10:46:54 PM

like the pierce points too (I think that's what you call them)

4 point · March 22, 2020, 10:57:34 PM

Not really true pierce points. This one is just a bunch of pieces glued together. Pierce points are cut in with a finger joint bit.

Looks great , Travis!!

I shipped the scrapper Saturday , it should arrive at its new home about Thursday .

Test shooting number one today, to see how it behaves. Two speedtesters set up in a tandem configuration to make sure I measure straight arrow flight and correct speed. If the arrow goes through in a straight line the speed will be the same or one feet slower on the one in the back.Tested with two arrow weights.
Testing done at victims drawlenght.
Nr one, 9,14 grain pr pound draw weight. 198 feet
No two, 11,78 grain pr pound draw weight. 177 feet
I was given a range of wished for draw weight and is a 1/2 pound below the lowest, hope that will be allright.
