Title: 30 inch BOP Dark Timbers for testing
Post by: Terry Green on June 01, 2019, 08:53:11 AM
Who wants to be 1st?

I'll send out 2 fletched shafts to who ever posts 1st...but you have to pay shipping to who ever is next with proof of shipment....

Big Jim  Has been gracious enough to allow  these   Shafts to travel..... Therefore we're gonna make sure everything is cool...

What spine? I’m in if they’re 400s. Hope to meet Jim at Compton and buy some shafts be nice to test drive before. But hard to beat the price.

I figured this would have gotten a lot more attention. I sent you my information Victor.

How long are we each keeping them Terry? Will the last guy send them back to Big Jim?
Title: Re: 30 inch BOP Dark Timbers for testing
Post by: Terry Green on June 16, 2019, 07:07:11 PM
Due to issues with my dad things got delayed....

They are going out tomorrow ...boxed up and  ready with several other packages.

Guys....just keep them a week or two....then to the next guy....

Looking forward to hearing from others how they work out....

I'm sure once you guys start posting, a few more will jump in....

Have fun and stay in touch.... :campfire:

I have no doubt others will get good flight from these shafts and attest to the durability they possess though it’s not an endurance test. Jim sought to get as much input as we could provide during their development and I hope they will be a best seller in days to come.

In talking to Jim yesterday, he says that they sold better than he had anticipated. They do look good in person can’t wait to play with them later this week.

I did my part and sent them out..... Other than that they're beyond my control.  The original recipient is on this thread.

Post by: Fishinglink on July 08, 2019, 05:30:08 PM
Sorry guys. I got them sent on to their next destination last week.

They really look good in person and the logo is very unobtrusive. I like that they’re heavier per inch than most other carbons in that price range. Gonna order 1&1/2 dozen as soon as they’re available again. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone especially if they have a longer draw.

Please read the other thread.... I don't have you blocked I don't do Pm's....

If this has to do with These Arrows please contact the last person on the list... I've already done my part and I'm not running this show as in keeping up with the list.. This project is pretty much running itself ...those that want to participate are contacting each other....

Thx

Thank you....just checking to see if they need to be "re-listed" for further travels.

I have a call into him.  :campfire:

Agree with above we should have had a fair amount of feedback by now. Trad guys pride themselves on value and these arrows seem fairly priced. Plus it’s a chance to support one of our hard working Sponsors that continually brings trad products our way . So on with the comments. Everyone likes arras.

Possum, here is my review. They are good looking and shoot much like most other carbons. They are slightly lighter, but not enough to make a difference. Easton nocks fit in them if someone doesn't like the nocks that come with them. I did not do a torture test since there were only 2 and they were not mine. IMHO, they are the best shaft for the price. I bought 3 doz at ETAR.

Picked up a dozen at ETAR from Jim. Very impressed and great price.

Sorry it took me so long for my review,but work has been crazy.

I have to say even at thirty inches I had to use a 300 grain tip out of my 55 and 60 pound bows. I couldn't get perfect flight,but after talking with Terry on the phone,and before I was going to send them out I decided to try a little harder. I was able to get really nice flight with the 300 grain set up. I guess the first few times I was getting a little bit of a poor release.

The finish is nice,and the graphics are very minimal. I like the lighter color on other arrows better,but that is a personal opinion. For the money though they look to be a real winner.

We are going to the post office today to get them out to you Terry.

Hey, I shot some of these a few weeks ago.  I'm likely to buy next go-round as I was very impressed, all the way around.  I'm sure Big Jim is selling them like hot cakes.
Title: Re: 30 inch BOP Dark Timbers for testing
Post by: BigJim on September 10, 2019, 10:48:11 PM
When I have them in stock, they sell like hot cakes....Yes!  I have been not so patiently waiting on my shipment of nearly a 1000 dz. They should be in next week..   Don't let the quantity fool you though. I've been getting 50 + calls a week asking on when I will receive them.
Thanks, Bigjim

I see this thread is an old one. Any chance these test arrows are still floating around?
