I was just gonna throw the old things away and mount some slicks on some new carbon for the father in law, but you guys are compelling me to screw them on and shoot them!
Thanks Arthur, now I know what they were called.

A big ol' left handed thumb hole stock mounted to some steel limbsand we get hung up on laws and broad heads..I tried to get the old blades out but it seems the aluminum has oxidized enough to make them pretty solid chunks..

Sorry we got off track on ya Dave. I forgot to mention two things that I thought of when I read the original post. I wonder if the wheel in your pic is where Horton got the idea from for there dial-a-range set up. Never really cared for it but could be where they got it from. I also had a friend of mine that used to swear by the game tracker strings, said they where the best thing he ever used. Then one time he took a shot at a doe and his arrow jerked off target and he missed the doe. Some how the spool "bird nested" on him and he never used them again. They are a great idea but a bad spool made on Friday could cost you a deer!

Pydpiper back in the day, those heads were (for a short time) the head to use. The problem with them were the blade thicknes, not very strong at all and would not stand up to very much at all. They would easily break on contact with any bone of an average size. But that is not what I found out to be a soft spine. That is the head tip would easily become off center with the arrow shafts center axis. This would cause some serious arrow wonder in flight. If you were to make sure they stayed true and centered on axis (need an arrow straightener with atachments for tips), then they are a fairly accurate head.

About the string trackers. I have heard of some that attached the string into the back insert, then inlayed the string in the groove when inserting the arrow. they claimed that there was less altering of the arrow flight then with the wire attachment, but the range was maxium 25 yards before the arrow started to drop alot.

Good luck.

Thanks Hotburn, your input is appreciated as always! You know what I mean..

Grumpy, you hit on both of my arrow issues with this bow, one is the heads themselves, knowing them is beyond my experience.. That string tracer, this guy that had it took it very serious, he has many extra spools of refills... It's not in my future but it is reassuring it was once considered to be effective. Thanks! I was hoping you would step in on this.

I stripped thestock down to a pale shade of beige, worked the wood to accomidate a right hand comfortably as well as the area where your cheek would lay.
Brought the wood back to life with a Minwax called gunstock 231, a very cool color! Minwax has always been #1 in my books, now that I see they make a stain just for guns I am beyond impressed.
Tomorrow I will start to layer the Polyurethane, and then it just may be ready for turkey season..

Looking Good David!

Thanks Reb! And thanks for standing up that stock for me.. Couldn't do it no matter how hard I tried.

Piper what is the lenght of the arrows and what size like 2219 etc.

Good question, the one that came with the bow are 4 different lengths..
I am going to make him 4 GTII's in the same configuration i use on my Excalibur, just lighter.

David send this guy an e-mail. He is asking DJH the same questions on the Crisbow MKIII [email protected]
