Well, it depends ........        

Trial and error keep trialing 'til yer arrow flight and its weight make ya smile!

Yep, ya really gotta factor in some back twists for a twin loop Flemish.

MUCH easier and quicker to build a single loop Flemish and do a bowyers knot .... or better yet a tsuru knot for added hold with HMPE strings ...

I guess I'm real old school and wouldn't hunt with anything other than a Wensel Woodsman.

Super easy to razor sharpen 3 blade heads with nothing more than a bastard file.

I prefer a heavier GPP arrow as I find that more forgiving, something like 11-12 GPP.  My current 42# longbow (at my draw length, of course) gets fed 470 grain arrows that are Surewood 5/16" Doug fir with 125 grain heads and my burnt cut 4" 3-fletch high feather.

For barebow games the arrow tip is my sight and the distance tells me where to walk the string, but for real shooting/hunting I only see the target, no string walking, and loose instinctively.

That's a beauty Kirk, congrats Terry!        

I've never used such a thing before...!  Would it be useful for hunting small game in the snow?  Or honestly... would it be too much of a hassle to be taking several shots in an afternoon with one?  One of the reasons NOT to hunt in the snow around here is that the snow is deep and fluffy, and arrows are almost always GONE  after they leave the bow!

 

Quote from: frassettor on Today at 02:42:05 PMI use the VPA heads, they are great heads.
I wipe a little honing oil on them after I sharpen them, never had an issue with rust .

I do the same, cept with gun oil/lube, then right into the quiver to put a coating on the foam to help keep them resisting moisture throughout the season.
