I have some of my handmade POC arrows with feathers still. Made a dozen of those but after two years I have two left. Definitely need to make more. Can't beat cedar. Didn't want to snap another arrow this weekend (I've broken three since Friday) So I grabbed some Academy cheapos to try out. Not toooo terribly bad but yeah they do pop the shelf and dance around.

A flattie and some fatties. ( I let my dad take two before the pic.) Not bad for having never fished this spot before. We caught probably 30, but most were under sized.
Great day with an old friend that's back in town. Hope to hit the woods with him like in the olden days!



Got another report of a spot, thinking I may go try it tomorrow.

I am probably going to get some carbon express or gold tip shafts and feather them. See how a 4-5" feather does on a carbon. Congrats on all the fish folks....it WAS a pretty day. Been some serious rain hitting here and there the past few hours.

There is a guy on here who shoots vanes off the shelf. If you tune it just right for zero vane contact, it works.

Interesting.... I was always taught that you had to use an elevated rest in order to be able to shoot arrows fletched with vanes. Learn something everyday

Yeah... don't tell Rick Barbee that, he will set you straight. He tunes for no feather/vane contact.

As it is, feathers don't help if you get quill contact, he takes it one step further. Oh the things you learn when you hang out on the trad forum.

I shoot CX Heritage 150s with 3x4" parabolics. I like a 175gr up front since I like the Zwickey broadhead.
