Title: My first attempt cresting
Post by: Bel007 on March 12, 2010, 09:47:00 PM
Here is my first go-round at the cresting bench.  As the process went on, I started getting a better feel for the right thicknes of the paint, too think wont spread right, too thin wont cover.  Just like Goldilocks, I had to try a few to find out what was "just right".   Lots of fun !

Thanks guys for all the kind remarks.  These are AD Hammer Heads.  6 trad / 6 lite.

All bohning products, white dip, orange and black stipes w gold highlights.  5" Trueflight shield Orange barred/trad barred feathers.

I will be putting on Bohning classic nocks once I get the correct nock inserts, but for now am using ADs nocks.  I am trying them out with the 100gr brass inserts and starting w 125gr FPs.  Will adjust point weight to dial them in.  Thats about 660gr for the trads and 620gr for the lites.  The hit the target with a big thud.

I am focusing on tuning first to my BW PSAV w FF and 58#.  I am using it on a hog hunt in 51 days.
