O/T Unintentional fletching durability test

Post by Carnivorous »

I recently built some arrows with the tips that I learned from Boo's arrow smithing lessons. Tonight I was shooting in the basement & decided to shoot my Micro 335 (that has no scope) just for the heck of it. Well I missed the rienhart 18-1 & the arrow went through an inside wall 2 sheets of 1/2" drywall & in to a plastic organizer on the other side. I pulled the arrow out backwards & to my surprise the fletching still looks like new. I guess the fletchings pass the durability test... LOL

You can see the drywall marks on the zombies.. :)

A touch of frost has heightened your awareness and your heart steadily beats in anticipation. Your senses are suddenly alert to the movement on the forest floor and you realize that the moment of truth is at hand.

A snap shot of the look on your face when the arrow missed the target would be pretty good too! :lol: :lol:

Many years ago --- had a similar Ruh Roh with a vertical bow --- as I recall the oops was not well received by my significant other.
