Re: most accurate arrow & broadhead

I can see there are lots of options,at some point I will experiment and build my own but for now the Diablos and 150 gr.boltcutters have never let me down.no need to change . I shoot out to 50 yds and won't aim for the same spot.my 380 loves em,the deer hate em.

Re: polishing trigger latches ?

Not sure of the grit but you could try a piece of crocus cloth.you should be able to get it at your local hardware store.i used it to finish polishing the flats on a hawkin muzzleloader kit.could get it like a mirror if you wanted.just a thought.
