I see nobody has actually answered your question, so no, I haven't used Day 6 broadheads. One of my friends has though and he really likes them. They seem to be a solid head and they perform very well for him.

Here is a video of the stave. I would like input from a competent selfbowyer. Thanks.

I'll try switching methods, in the past I had always sharpened by a push/pull method. I'll try pulling only & see if that makes the blade feel sharper

McDave said, "The idea is to put in the same number of backtwists as the twists you will add when you make the second string loop, so that there will be no twists in the body of the final string.  But that's a little hard to figure out, and really not critical.  I just untwist the twists in each bundle after making the first loop, and put in 10 more backtwists in the same direction as I was untwisting."

That's exactly what I do.  Works for me.

Last post by Orion - Today at 12:07:24 PM
Something is amiss.  If the arrow is pointing right of the target and it hits left, it would indicate a too strong spine.  Or, as McDave suggests, you're not getting the arrow aligned properly under your dominant eye.  Or, possibly, your right eye isn't as dominant as you think.  When you look down your arrow, line up the arrow tip on some target with your right eye only/left eye closed.  Then close your right eye and open the left.  That will move the point to the right of the target. So if the point is to the right of the target with both eyes open, it would indicate that your left eye is taking dominance. If the arrow points to the right with only the right eye open, then it's likely an alignment problem, as McDave suggests.

The Bowyer's Bench / Re: Heatbox temp and duration?
Last post by Kirkll - Today at 10:33:00 AM
I've got a good system that works. My voltage regulator controls the temp well and my battery charger lasts for years. What's the point? I get more bows out of one battery charger than most guys build in a lifetime.

I was basically being open minded about a change of power supply options. It's getting harder to find the right charger that will hold up well.

I've slowed down over the years, and am not building 60-80 bows a year anymore. But I still love my heat strip system.
