bringing in the sheep (how to make a convert)
« on: August 29, 2011, 10:21:07 pm »
This is how I am converting the compound shooters that I know.  I am making them a flint point on a metal field point. I glue them with jb weld.

I've actually considered that, but though about using an aluminum broadhead adapter instead of the field point. It'll work ;)

 I've seen James Parker do that with a Carbon arrow and Ryolite point.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

I will be interesting to see if threre are any long term effects.  It does feel good to be at a point where others can enjoy what I have spent so much time learning.
