Quote from: Ramjet on Today at 12:57:09 PMMany years ago read an article about soaking wood arrows in boiled linseed oil or Danish oil. It was done with a soaking tank made from pvc. I soaked 6 arrows in light walnut Danish oil for a few days probably, don't really remember. I just shot one of those yesterday.  That arrow is at least 15 years old. I used duco cement for the fletching. I may give it a try again

Pretty cool they lasted that long. Worth the effort, I'd say so.  A lot of people spend too much time on other aspects of the sport. The arrow doesn't get enough love'n.  My problem is a spine calculator addiction...like someone other than Nancy Pelosi trying to predict the stock market.

good deal. I was in your shoes 14 months ago, and my name just came up today! no doubt it will be worth it.

Quote from: Maclean on January 12, 2026, 03:14:08 PMI have a 52" Elkheart Magnum and my DL is 28½". I'm astonished by how well this bow shoots. I bought it specifically for hunting in tight spaces and relatively short distances (inside 20 yards), but to my delight it is one of, if not the most, accurate bows I own, at any distance. It groups the same as my 64" Toelke Whip. The draw cycle is ultra smooth, without a hint of stacking past 29", and no finger pinch. The forward handle and unique limb design  are unlike anything I've shot before. It points naturally and is surprisingly stable. I'm sure that the 50" Magnum would be perfect for your 27" DL. Gregg Coffey is an exceptional bowyer.
I am so glad to hear you are still loving it! he's starting on mine now!  :goldtooth:
