Thought I'd pass along this photo that Dr. Ed sent me. Really like the looks of it's new outer wear. Light brown and white,,,,,hmmmmmmm, maybe in a year or so I can show one with alittle yellow in the outer wear.

Forgot to say that the best part of the outer wear is hickory.
:D want to try some of those hichory shafts someday Troy ----- herb
total overall 'arra' length is 31 3/8.
Ed has the notes on penetration....but...he's off flying in the skies back to the USA.
pretty sure that's the one that went through to ... and either cracked or penetrated the off side ribs.
yep...modified 190gr grizzly.

Wow Troy! That's what I call an arrow! Mike
If I remember right that arrow is 28-1/2" BOP. I can check my records to make sure. I cut the shafts to length and ground the point and nock tapers before shipping.
yeah that's right Troy....shaft is 28.5"
....I was giving the 'total' arrow length...with the grizzly attached...the modified grizzly has a cut length of 3.250"
Ed has the notes saved that way (as well as the lowdown on each component)
and I was just peeking through them
sorry if I confused all again...
.......if I was a real proper brat I could have said...shaft + cut length + 'x'; with feather type, bow poundage etc .... but he might smack me if I go pulling out ALL his notes...lol
now....if they're wanting a truly great photo of what your shafts can do...I'll get the picture of my 'trophy' back in a few days.
was talking through the stalk with Ed before he left as neither could believe I missed such a shot (well, HE could but he gets unreasonable joy out of watching me learn)
stalk was great, only 15 metres to the goat...chose the 'spot', ....then....took note of that small log just in front (not a problem says I)...back to the spot ....
....oh, the goat knows I'm here....so I look him in the eye, note the log again and release...
yep...dead centre....in the log!!!
ah well....more lessons learned.
did cut the log to bring my trophy home though - shaft and broadhead are fine - log (a 2 1/2" hardwood - obviously feral)is dead and soon to be mounted on my wall.
Last I saw goat and family were all well....but 'I'll be back'....
