Title: New Bow, How Irritating is This...
Post by: Cupcake on August 30, 2007, 09:22:00 PM
Last week I bought a new Gamemaster II so I need some new arrows.

This morning started a little mini vacation so what better way to spend it than bare-shafting some 400 spine carbons.  I tweaked and trimmed and finally satisfied myself that I was right on.  So I fletched up the six arrows with tape and let the glue dry on the ends for a few hours.

So now I head to the backyard and guess what.  On the second half dozen shots I ROBINHOOD one of my new arrows.  I mean a real robinhood, both in the center ring.

Dang Gamemaster shoots like a dream.  Oh well, these were just some bargain arrows my local shop sold me to get started.  I am moving up in weight and my other arrows were too weak.  Dang, now I need some more arrows.

As for the Gamemaster.  We measured both the 45lb. and 50lb. versions in stock, at AMO 28 inches, and they each drew 4lbs. heavier.  I chose the 45 and my 30 inch draw puts me up at 54-55lbs.

Yep it can be irritating to  bust a new arrow,but you know you liked gettin a robinhood.    :D      

You should try it with self nocked, hand planed arrows. Now that's irritating.     :banghead:
