Dang, thank you Charlie!

If you hadn't cleaned your connections I woulda bought you a new one! I know, they ain't nothin' compared to the good ol' ones...
Long, long afterward, in an oak I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend.

I bet mine is older than Charlie's. It was given to me about 20 years ago by a gentleman who was 75 at the time and it had been HIS DADS. He shot bows back in the 30s and 40s, don't know when they started selling them.He also gave me several Roy Case broadheads and the old field points that you did not taper the shaft. I find the setup to be the important thing. I glue the feathers on the shaft so they match up very good to the burner ribbon and I make sure the ends of the ribbon pattern take a hard turn back away from the shaft. Try not to have the ribbon too close to the arrow. I usually then have to cut off any leftovers with my Xacto, pushing straight down into the quill until it "pops" off. One more thing. Turn the shaft so the feather is coming up from the bottom. The excess feather falls safely away. I turned it from the top once.The excess feather caught fire, fell onto my good fletch and set it on fire. Had to refletch that one LOL
Genesis 27:3 Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me some venison;
