What is that on my arrow?

Tsalt · September 19, 2014, 10:58:00 AM

Who notices a small line on an arrow that is sitting on a sexy bow like that?! Look at that bow! That's like when my wife asks if I noticed her fingernails! I say, "no, but you look hot!"

But actually that is a great tip and I'm going to use it. I just recently realized that my brace hight was way off... I never check it. This is great way to keep tabs on it.

Good idea I am going to do that before I go to the woods this season.

There's that beautiful riser that we both let get away. Glad you got her back and are putting her to good use.

Me too! My PCH seems to really like 9" and if it gets much less it seems to really make a difference. I mark mine with a sharpie.

Wayne, Yeah I use a sharpie also. I use these shafts for multiple bows but only use one bow at a time so when I switch bows I simply wipe off the sharpie mark with acetone and draw the new line for the other bow.

Haha Felix, that's not my wife's opinion!

Great tip but yup... I totally expected blood everywhere when I saw the first photo

I also have more than one bow that can fling the same arrow so this idea wouldn't work for me but it's a great idea.

Neat idea Tom, but I expected to open this thread and see a pic of another one of your arrows with blood on it.
X2, but thanks for the great tip! [/b]

x3 Good idea

Great idea TJ !!! Sure beats pulling out a bow square during the season.

Useful info for someone new to traditional bows like me. I am just starting to really learn many aspects of tuning. Great post, thanks.

This is a great idea!! I was shooting great then fell apart i was focusing on everything but still shooting like crap. Finally checked my brace height and bingo it was a little low. Fixed it and shot groups got smaller.

Matthew, it is a great idea, but I can't take credit for it. I saw a post on it years ago from someone here on TG. Good stuff!
