Re: Lubricant on top of rail / arrow groove?

I M O the rail only needs to be kept clean. the more residue on the rail only attracts dirt. just wipe down occasionally, and very little amount of silicone, once in awhile... I have to agree with what mr. norman said about the arrow retainer. it is very noisy! using that 3m tape sounds like an exce...

Re: arrow shaft cleaning and adhesives

really... I always thought acetone was not good for carbon shafts. will have to try it... I do use comet after I get most of the "junk" off that does very well. seems that vanes stick better with surface roughened up a little... thanks

arrow shaft cleaning and adhesives

greetings... ugh! cleaning quick set glue from carbon shafts. 6 done, 8 more to go. used denatured alcohol to see if it would soften old glue, not much help. a lot of elbow grease is the only thing that seams to work. :? is there anything that can be used to help remove old glue, that will NOT cause...

wraps

to research and development department... :P to wrap or not to wrap?? anyone tinker with wraps? other than wear and tear of the wraps, shot after shot. will it effect accuracy or cause any loss of velocity? would arrow weight and foc be effected that much? main reason to do so, is to "try"...
