What is that on my arrow?

[KentuckyTJ]

I had a guy ask me what the black line was around my arrow in this pic of my bow hanging in the treestand. So I thought I would share.

 

I draw that line around each arrow right at the back of my side plate material when I get my bow brace height the way I want it. Every time I am headed to the treestand I put an arrow on the bow and I can tell if my BH is right before I leave. Have a stringer in the truck just in case. If you use your arrows for multiple bows like I do, you can remove the line or use a different color for another bow.

That is a great way to check bh. I used to crest a line there on my arrows when I took the time to dip and crest them. I think I will do it again. Thanks for the reminder.

Neat idea Tom, but I expected to open this thread and see a pic of another one of your arrows with blood on it.

Many use cresting to do that

X2, but thanks for the great tip!

Haha, dang Fred I have a wife and daughter you know. My hunting time is a dance on that fine line of trying to stay out of trouble. I did slip out after work yesterday and move a stand in preparation of some doe hunting though. Hunters gotta hunt right?

Great idea.  Unfortunately I have three bows that all have different BH but all use the same arrow. Might just use one stripe for one bow then two stripes for the other  and so on.

TJ, great idea.  Thanks for sharing it!

By the way.... I love your new "Broadhead" cover!

[KentuckyTJ]

Thanks Dan, I took that pick and sent it to Bill to rub in that I was able to hunt and he couldn't get out yet! I'm a terrible friend.

I'm with Fred, I thought I was going to see another bloody shaft Tom!

I used to do the same thing-way back before life got so busy, great idea!!

[Mike Vines]

I do the same thing to all of my arrows...

When my fistmele is right the point of my fletching is very near the back of the shelf, same effect.

I thought it was a "Tubrolator" or something like that
