Title: Arrow Recovery
Post by: swampthing on March 01, 2011, 11:34:00 AM
When it comes to Hardwood Arrow Woods, which is fastest at paradox recovery. Ash, Lam.Birch, or Hickory. I would say it is in that order, but that's why I'm asking.
Does it even matter for hunting?  Has anyone ever have a "problem" with the noodly hardwood shafts on game?

I have shot cedar, spruce and tamarak. in my opinion the key to fast recover is tapering the shafts.

I would think that recovery from paradox will be the spine of the arrow, not so much the wood.

I would say that your eye is not capable of picking up any significant difference unless the arrow was way out of spine.

All you have to do is shoot an arrow and then see what it looks like with high speed photography.
