Default RE: Whisker Biscuit with fingers ???

Most of todays bows, including compounds, recurves and longbows, are designed with centershot risers.

The tradition of floating arrows was an atempt to find the heavy side of the arrow, so that you could fletch that side of the arrow and shoot that side of the arrow to the outside of the bow. When the bow was shot the arrow would bend around the handle and shoot in front of the bow. That is what I call archer's paradox.

The trend today is speed. I see lighter, faster, stiffer shafts being used with heavier heads for competition.

I still believe in a heavy arrow for hunting though. I guess I am shooting close to 50years now. And I have seen alot of changes too.

Good luck hunting! >>>------------>
