Always when out stumping, after a miss or a cmpleted shot at a molehill or the like there is dirt sitting around the springs on the Judo point. I dont know if this affects arrow flight, but shouldnt it? At least its some extra grains and some change in aerodynamics. I have not found a method to get rid of this mud fast, only fumbling and getting dirty fingers. Just wondering if others have the same problems and maybe a solution.
Regards
Never bothered the flight of my judos any.I just brush off a majority of the dirt and go.
Yep...if it bothers you though, it's gonna affect your shot because it's a detrement in your mind. Since instinctive shooting demands a clear mind, it's like when you are thinking, "don't hit that limb" you're gonna hit that limb everytime. If you're wondering if that dirt is gonna affect your shot, you're not concentrating on "the spot"
You can stick and old toothbrush in your pocket.
I just whack them on the sole of my boot to knock off most of the dirt then keep on shooting.
that toothbrush is a great idea biggie!
Though it doesnt affect my mind to much,to be honest, my big advantage in archery is that my minds pretty empty all day ;)
was just wondering because the chnage of say 125-145 point weight can make a difference and 20 grains is abit more than 1,3 gramm, still i dont know how a gramm of dirt looks like and if its so much on the judo.
I do what A.S. does :thumbsup:
Shoot them into a line tree the twisting, turning tnd pulling will scrape all the mudd off :D Or you can just wack them against your boot.
Good answers above. Now let me clear your mind.........
NO it shouldn't change your flight if you knock the majority Of clutter off. If your set up can't handle a 20 grain variance in either direction then it's too boarderline!!!
There,.....now you can rest easy and just shoot :thumbsup: :campfire: .
I'm more concerned about getting dirt in my quiver and dulling broadheads.
If you want to get a discharge (co2) for muzzle loaders(Cabelas) and use that to get rid of the dirt.It's smaller than the cans of air for dusting and it has tons of air pressure.

yip
I use a combination of dirty fingers and the toe of my boot.A patch of grass will save you from carrying a toothbrush in your quiver though.
Just knock it off on a tree trunk, rock, boot sole..pull out any grass with your hands...and have at it....
No need to carry anything extra just to clean judos....
Boot toe here. When done shooting, I'll really clean em off. But in 'the field' I just tap em and most falls right off.
Shoot something with it.
Whackem on my boot soles.
Like most, I just tap it on the stump or boot and keep on gettin up...
JL
Whip it in a clump of weeds or grass to clean them up. It they are real bad, tap them against a boot or heavy branch first.
I'd stick the tip in my buddies canteen and wash it off! :eek:

Work's every time! Jason
I just lose the arrow. Then ya don't have to worry about it...
Go back and read what Biggie said and what Terry said. They are both right.

LMBO, I need to get my buddies to start packin along a canteen. LOL :D
Shake and shoot em
I can't believe we are talking about this.
Smack them on your boot sole and move on. If I get dirt in my quiver I dump it out.
I hated how flimsy kudos were on "stumps" that become rocks when I shoot them.
Have been shooting the "hammers" that VPA makes for 3Rivers for a few months now and there is no more mud, or busted kudos.
I am pretty sure I have shot my last judo.
But I doubt the mud affects more than your mind, which is the most important part.

Personally, I bring along a cordless gas weed eater. Great for getting in the spring coils to clean out the dirt/grass. :smileystooges:
Zbearclaw, you can send me all those judos (kudos??) when you're ready to get rid of them. I'll take 'em over anything for roving.
A.S. has the right approach, quick and easy. ;)
swish it around in the grass, but be careful, I had one unscreq itself doing that, never found it!
I prefer to stump with the G5 SGH head, I stops a lot better and does a lot more damage to small game. they also don't get dirty like the judo.
Wack it on my boots and im ready to go.
Just wack it on something or take a small stick and clean it out OR hunt by a creek with water in it.
If it bothers you too much shoot an RFA Talon or something similar.
Dunno but if anyone ever decides to open a TradGang bar or restaurant or whatever, 'Dirty Judos' would make an outstanding name.
:bigsmyl:
I have a 7 HP Honda power washer that I pull along when I'm stump shooting, No problems here!! :p
If it's a problem, carry a small, stiff hair brush. I never had a problem with just beating them on my pants leg or boot. Like Pepper said shoot something. A rabbit will take that mud right off.
Ditto what A.S. does.....just bang them on my boot or the nearest tree to clean them off.
Ohh..........you can shoot them more than once!
you could make one of these and not worry about dirt at all! OK, so they are a little muddy. :)

What Terry said...
I tap it on my shoe, run it through the grass, but what annoys me more is a dirty shaft that then gets the shelf rest dirty and gritty: so I have the habit of cocking back a knee and running the shaft threw the fold in the back there. Sure it gets your pants a little dirty, but it dries fast and you just brush off before getting into the car. What the heck.
i swat my boot with the judo.
