RE: 24 strand Dyna ' 97--Carumba!
 

12 strands of 450+ would have been plenty and you wouldn' t have to use a hydraulic press to get the nocks onto the string. @175 pounds per strand, you' d be 12 x the bow weight and that' s always plenty.

Robert,

I think you should make one of those 175#' ers. Would make for a fast arrow;) I' ll give you a call after my Maine bear hunt next week!!!!!!!

Give me a shout then, CT! I' d love to hear how it went for you!

RE: 24 strand Dyna ' 97--Carumba!
 

Actually I am twisting up a 16 strand 450+ for that same bow right now. I thought that it was a bit of overkill myself, but I have zero experience with bows this heavy, while the customer has a lot of experience with them, so I am going with what he wants. These will get tied-on nock sets, I am sure--the arrow nocks he uses are custom made from machined aluminum to fit the big strings and withstand the pressure. Figure a brass nock-set, even the biggest Saunders makes, would be too small and damage the string if you could get it crimped on.

Sounds like a good squirrel bow. ;)

Jason, remind me to never go squirrel hunting with you! Glad to see you around, by the way! Hope to have some good news for you soon--I know of a hippie Canuck bowyer that has been working on something nice for you.

Chad,

I' ve got some dead squirrels on the CM this year. Treed a groundhog one day too (no kidding--don' t ask).

You might want to shoot a copy of your grouse pics from Canada to Bob at Ace Archery Tackle. He' s looking for ad photos for the Hex Heads.

RE: 24 strand Dyna ' 97--Carumba!
 

Saw Bob at Twin Oaks earlier this year--he now has pics, and I have more blunts! Hope to have him some more pics later on :D I was very impressed with them. I probably wouldn' t have thought much of it, except I saw how the other points performed compared to the Hex Heads--no contest!
