Looks like Walnut on a cedar shaft
The first shots at my target pig from 25 yds
(http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q291/bjornweb/photo-3.jpg)
With 160 gn tips these fly perfectly from my 50# ACS CX
Later we'll try them on some harder stuff!
Nice shooting Bjorn. I think you should get out and try them on some live ribs :bigsmyl:
Its amazing how an 85# shaft with 160 up front will fly from a 50# ACS
Bjorn,
Rick sent me an arrow, too. 91# spine.
I have yet to put a field tip on it. Maybe, tonight.
Anyway, he told me to destroy it, too!
Matt
Nice shooting Bjorn.
Thanks, 'blind chicken getting grain' shots. :bigsmyl:
Those look nice, wonder if Rick will be at Kzoo...I could use a few of them.
Eric
He sent me one as well and I have to say even the arrows he wants us to beat up look freaken amazing! Bjorn I guess when you shoot like that you don't need a burglar alarm :laughing: :laughing:
I wanna try I wanna try!
He sent me one also. Real beauty expertly crafted. Meant to get it into the woods this weekend. Didn't. Did get the judo loaded. It'll be tried & true pdq!
I meet rick a couple of weeks ago. Heck of a nice guy.
I'm wanting him to make me some arrows good to see his work is highly thought of. And yes he is going to kazoo.
I whacked one well into an Oak tree this afternoon, spent several minutes digging it out, no damage to the arrow.
what is the reparrow?

Sweet! Great shooting too! :bigsmyl:
Rick knows what he is doing.
I bought a half dozen for spine testing purposes, and as has been mentioned. Were built fantastic...
Are they shooting stiff with that much spine? How much up front do you have to load up to get them to fly straight?
Interesting arrow...Yeah, Rick's work is truly amazing. Finest wooden shafts I have ever owned.
"Are they shooting stiff with that much spine? How much up front do you have to load up to get them to fly straight?"
They are cut to 29.5 BOP and have a 160gn FP, total weight is 650gn and as you can see in the pic they fly right where I am looking at 25 yds. Could not ask for better.
i was wondering if guys would use the reparrow to make tougher footings.nice shooting Bjorn,steve
I really like reparrows, they are tuff and weaken the arrow nicely. What I mean is I had some arrows that where little to short so that made them stiff.
I used some reparrows footing to test on these arrows, They work great and easy to fix short/broken arrow tips.
Hova, Reparrow is a derivitive of "repaired arrow". The technique was developed to fix woods with the tip broke off or to make the arrow look really nice w/2 different woods. The stronger tougher wooden extension (short piece) is actually added to the end of an arrow. Look at Rick's Website. He knows what he's doing! Also increases FOC, DIY, FYI, SOL, LOL, & a host of other arra stuff.
Bjorn, ya just put them on with a waterproof wood glue? or hot melt?
Eric
Rick has been making some of the finest arrows ever since I knew who he was. The guy really knows his stuff when it comes to wood.
Update for Rick.
Haven't seen him around in awhile. Bugs me after he graciously sent a beauty Reparrow to destroy w/my new Tembo. Stumpshoot it everytime in/out of the woods. So far only minimal fletch disturbed & I've hit everything I shouldn't have incl rocks, trees, buried steel, etc. Just can't kill it! Much obliged Rick for this great arrow. Best of luck! b
Hey Bjorn was a blind squirrel flying it's tail with that group? Or is that your form efforts paying off?
I have been working thru my form steps I emailed you and it is really paying off. I am really singing the arrows in to the center of the target. I expect to be shooting 2 inch groups at 20 yards before I am done.
Hi Clay, it was one of those 'blind chicken' groups! :bigsmyl:
"blind chicken" or not,...thats some darn nice shooting!
