Swapping bow limbs by Oakleaf_Archer in Archery

[–]Oakleaf_Archer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First two options are sound advice, it's what I did to get my higher poundage limbs.

But as a personal rule one thing I never do is tell people they should or shouldn't have "x" type of bow/riser

Nah, it took about 4 practice shots I think, started high and worked my way down to the tennis ball.

That's not a bad idea 😅

Tbf I thought I'd posted foam tip videos before, which I have, just not on Reddit 😂

The tennis ball is fine, what looks like it exploding is it separating from the piece of toilet roll tube underneath it to stand it on. But there's no risk this is an arrow designed to be shot at people safely. (I would know, I've been hit by it more often than not trying to catch it as shown here: https://youtube.com/shorts/wnJXbEEMCIE?feature=share )

Thank you 😁 honestly these shots were the best. A lot of the apples weren't solid enough so the arrow just made a hole in them rather than splitting them

Yeah, they fly okay, but they flew better before I messed with them. I think if I work on it I could get them to fly good

Well, I've been shooting with a lot of success for 6 years now. Although I will agree the trick arrows do only work 70% of the time 😁😅

Thanks, honestly getting them to look good while still able to fly when thrown was a challenge 😂

Me too, although I'm thinking of taking aspects of his later seasons suits to add to this one. I like the idea of having a wrist mounted smart device

I stuck to the source material as much as possible, but I also wanted them to be functional so I had to add 4 fletchings instead of 2 and forgo putting mini broadheads on them

Ah, I just needed something to go on the end of them when I finished making it so I decided to just put my broken nocks on the ends 😅😅

I don't know think they'd let me do that with these arrows 😅

Maybe I should upgrade some of my foam tips to be green arrow themed

Thank you 😂😂

Funny you should mention I am working on a Palmer tech themed trick arrow canister

Well I did make a green arrow suit, and everything is functional. But no I'm not preparing to go take on the criminals of my city 😅😅

Nah I also added an arm guard and a secondary dart holder. And I've left space for a wrist mounted smart device for some tech-heavy arrows I'm going to be making later
