Cutting AD Hammerheads.......?
« on: November 07, 2008, 12:49:00 AM »
G'day all here in the Gang,

 
 Well I've finally placed an order with Ted from Raptor Archery (who I might add gets a ten outa ten from in fine customer servive!) and in that order were some of the new AD Hammerheads.

Normally I'm a timber shaft kinda guy but thought I'd give these shafts a crack for everyday shooting at stuff. Now, all being equal with my 30" draw, if I've gotta cut these shafts to shoot well just what end will I trim?

My lucky penny for your thoughts?

Not sure if the design is the same on the hammerheads, but I can tell you that on the regular AD trads only the point end should be cut.  The nock end is tapered.  Happy hunting Al, Matt
