Ashby's Straight Fletch A&A cut

[monterey]

BTW, What does "A%A" actually stand for?

Ashby and Adcock,the two gentlemen that came up with it.OL Adcock is a flight engineer and flight bow shooter.

Thanks.  

I'm an "Ashby believer" but a bit doubtful of the turbulator.

those look good jim, notice any difference in strength or spine? do the footings go farther back on the shaft than your inserts?

[JimB]

Longtoke,These days I just cut mine at 1" and also install them before I tune.

[Longtoke]

just wondering if anyone had noticed much difference between styles. I made up 3 of the type that dont cover the insert, im using them as stumpers so they have took a beating. the gap between the footing and head does get packed with mud and dirt though.

Im thinking turning the insert down so it fits in the shaft might be the way to go.

I haven't noted any difference in strength but the fact that it collects some mud,tells me it may also drag on flesh and reduce penetration some.I like them more streamlined,just in case.
