I thought at one time Ron was working on a book, it would be a great if someone could compile his work and share it with the entire archery community.  :pray:

Talked to Ron several times and bought some cedar and spruce arrows made by Paul Jalon. He did have a creative mind.

I didn't know Ron very well, but talked to him a few times on the phone. He was a wealth of info and fun to talk to.

He set me up with a 51# classic Hunter and a set of Sitka Spruce arrows from Paul Jalon. It was a nice setup.

It is tough tho - getting older. I lost a good friend a couple of weeks ago. We went into the Army together in October of '72.

Even using heat strips the temp rarely exceeds 180 degrees. typically i only use 160 degrees. 

That should be excellent form material you would think. but i have no idea whether there will be any warping or twisting. I've never worked with it before.

How much heat to use-- I get mine up to 130 degrees. Using  smooth on. Mixing always a bit more resin than hardener.
Have had only three delams in 20 plus years. Pretty sure one was a dry fire but could not prove it.
