Back with a pic of the problem and possible solution.
As you can see….the bow is too fast and the arrows tend to burst into flames.    Nobody’s gonna want this bow if all their arrows keep burning up.  
The only solution I can think of is to add horn tips that weigh a pound or so.   Perhaps Tom can take care of this.

NOw that is a hot bow.  We gotta do something about it.  mmaybe we could make some rebar arrows or maybe take some aluminum arrows and fill em with fire retardant or something.

Now we need some fire proof feathers.

Daggon' John, I puckered up there for a second.

Aluminum might melt.  I think the ticket would be titanium...maybe take a piece of round stock and mill some veins into it.  That should correct the problem.

I'd go with fluted titanium - it'll dissipate the heat better....

Of course...I just figured fluted would be the natural assumption.   :knothead:

Ok guys time to tighten up, the auction starts May 31 so we need to get it going.

You got Tom's address?

If they are takin first born sons as bids - I'm in -

that their bow can do its own shish-ke-bobbin.
