DUMB arrow making mistake!@#!

[Mike Bolin]

Ran over to a buddy's house this evening to use his arrow saw to cut a dozen Trad Only shafts. Well I didn't take my glasses...shouldn't need them for a simple task. I need 29" to bop and I SOMEHOW cut them 28 1/4"!%#@$!    

I could understand if I'd cut them 28" or 30", but where did I come up with the 1/4"? I'd finally come up with the perfect arrow, insert, point combination and I know these will be too stiff now. DUMB ME!    

Oh well, it is definitely not the most costly mistake I've ever made.....they are for sale by the way! LOL

[Mike Vines]

If they were 29" I would buy them.

Just get a heavier broadhead insert.

[KodiakMag]

Measure twice cut once.  

[joe skipp]

Increase the weight up front and you will be fine...but it does pi...s you off when we make stupid mistakes...      

[mikebiz]

Now you know what's meant by "measure twice, cut once."      

I think most of us have been there when we have a cutting device in hand.  I know I have.  Shake it off and try it again.

[Mike Bolin]

Yeah I know to measure twice......I did! Just need to wear my glasses.

Ipcjon2-250 gr. head with a 100 gr. insert. I am already @ 635 grains which is all I care to shoot.

Getting old and blind ain't for sissies! LOL!

[magnus]

I cut some twice and they were still too short    seriousl;y thats a bummer! been there done that

[katman]

There is a 1/2" 25 grain screw in shaft extender available, may help

do a search for, Aftershock Hypershock Booster 25gr

[katman]

In fact pm me your address and I will mail one out to you.

[Tajue17]

Hmm how about trying those glue on screw-in adaptors which are 3/4 long if I remember right,,


OR send them out and have them footed...

[RobinHood1389]

how much you want for those? By "traditional Only" do you mean the cedar shafts or the carbon express?

[Bladepeek]

What'sw the expression - "measure with a micrometer, mark with a crayon and cut with an ax"?

[Tim]

Glasses....we don't need no stinkin glasses!  

[cbCrow]

Whew! what a relief and I thought I was the only one.

[arky714]

Been there done that got the Tee shirt...

[snag]

Mike is your draw length 28"? If so you'll be ok with more tip weight. Just don't want you drawing that broadhead back over your finger if it is longer!

[Mike Bolin]

snag, I do draw 28" or just a touch more when all is perfect! lol! I am already shooting 635 grains and I don't think I wanna go higher. I guess I am just gonna try to sell them and pick up another dozen- and a set of 2.5 power cheaters! Mike
