Thread starter hoytslanger87 Start date Jul 23, Back in February I bought a pack of rage extremes title said brand new in pack. So i get them home and never use them, just sit in my broad head box. This week I decided I was going to sell them and use that money towards some bi polars. A guy messages me and ask a lot of questions, he ask on 4 separate occasions are they knockoffs, I said as far as I know they are not.

So I mail them out Monday and today I get a call from papal about a dispute on my account. I call the guy and he - saying he knew as soon as he got them that they were fake and even his wife knew they were not real. I was very apologetic and refunded his money on the spot.

This is were things get weird, I go back and look to see who I purchased the heads from and its the same guy. I call him back he still was not happy, I tell him I purchased the heads from him in February all he says is they'll be in the mail back to you tomorrow. I knew I would get screwed on AT one day, just didn't know it would happen like this.

This week I'm buying a pack of bi polars, because I know where everyone of them come and how well there made. Last edited by a moderator: Jul 24, Hill was not in favor of sticking with a light bow just because it could be easily mastered.

He elected for the heaviest bow a person could shoot with comfort. That means, he wanted us to build into our bows, finding a place where we could master a given poundage. In shooting the longbow, it is difficult to explain how to aim one. I have never had any luck trying to tell some- one how to hit a target with a longbow, although Hill at- tempted to teach a split-image design of aiming.

I am not certain that is what he called it, but the term seems to be correct. Simply, a longbow is fired-pretty much the way we toss a rock. A rock has no sights. Since there are no sights on the longbow although there certainly have been sights on some longbow models out of the past it is best to grab up the bow, nestle the hand comfortably into the leather grip without choking the grip down, and then moving the bow around a bit to get the feel of it.

Remember, the entire mass weight of the Big Five is only one pound and six or so ounces. The bow can be held without undue strain in the bow- hand, by the way, as the handle wedges back into the palm just as with any other bow type, and this is the best way to shoot, without choking down on the grip. The same anchor point the archer uses for his compound may not be fitting for longbow shooting, although I find no problem using the same point.

The left arm is somewhat crook- ed in drawing the longbow and the archer leans into his work, rather than standing straight up. The bow is usually canted, or tilted off to one side, which not only aids in maintaining the arrow balanced on the shelf, but also allows for the head to be bent a little, too.

The bending of the head puts the eyes in line with the shaft and the target. All I can say is that something unconscious soon takes over and the archer is popping arrows into the target butt.

I like to think l keep my eyes on the target and not the tip of the arrow, but I am told by smarter men than l that the eye does dart back and forth from target to arrow tip. I am not going to consciously try to discover whether it does or not. The fistmele on this bow will be terribly small by the standards of the old recurves and the modern compounds.

In fact, shooters may have trouble with this, sometimes turning the riser so that the string snaps into the arm. Naturally, it is wise to use an arm guard But the shooter should not try to make the fistmele dimension wider. It will normally slow the bow down and decrease the cast and sometimes upset the arc of the arrow. The riser is standard on the Big Five. However, Hill did use some models which were reverse handle.

The handle is fitted that way to offer a different type of grasp for the hand. In stringing the Big Five, I used my stringer. That makes sense to me. I never did care for the step-through method, because even with a stable-limbed longbow, a twisted limb is still a possibility. There is also the push- away method, and that works all right.

I may not have developed the particular muscles necessary to master the latter, and with my own seventy-pound longbow, I have a hard time stringing it with the push-away, so I have gone to the stringer.

Sissy, maybe, but it works. Hill Company has suggested the stringer too, incidentally. As for arrows, the plain old cedar shaft is still mighty good in the longbow, but I have successfully fired all types of materials. The quick recovery of the cedar shaft is hard to beat.

Remember, the arrow has to, in fact, dart around the riser of the bow and then spring back into the line of arc. Therefore, the resilient cedar shaft is a good one. The shaft was a Lamiglas, which is not part graphite, but all graphite. Only these two arrows were used for shooting, as I had a dozen of each around.

The cedars were trimmed to twenty- eight inches from the inset of the nock to the very tip of the arrow and then the arrow was drawn back until the tip rest- ed full on the shelf. As for the Lamiglas arrows, they were left full length as they are so very light anyway, and contrary to what we might think, the longer pure graphite arrow is stronger than a short- er pure graphite arrow.

At least, this is what I am told by an engineer who is in the business. Therefore, I have left my graphite arrows at a full thirty-one-inch draw. I like a twenty-eight-inch draw in the longbow. We sometimes get carried away with getting our equipment tuned and forget that we can tune ourselves, too.

Our bodies bend. And we can change a draw length to some degree. It is no trouble to relax into the longbow, lean into it, bend the elbow and enjoy a nice twenty-eight-inch draw and the resulting lighter stiffer arrow. The cedar arrow attained a velocity or feet per second fps. The stiffness and lightness seemed excel- lent out of this bow, however, and it is a tribute to a good arrow.

The nocking point was set on the bow by testing, not by measuring first and then arbitrarily setting it, l simply put the nocking point so that the arrow was perfectly horizontal to start with and I moved the nock up on the string just a little at a time until l was rewarded with a stabilized flight out to forty yards and beyond.

The greatest shooting I did with the bow was at forty yards. The arrows were, as per necessity, feather fletched. A plastic vane will hit the shelf and toss the arrow askew. The feathers simply fold back on the shelf and allow the arrow to continue on its path. The longbow can be tuned, of course, by changing the weight of the string, or by switching string length to change fistmele. In short, by manipulating the variables one at a time and checking arrow flight.

Arrow swapping is in itself bow tuning. But that is another story. A glove was used, not a release of any kind. The glove will indeed slow down the arrow to a small degree, however, and in all fairness this should be pointed out.

The newcomer to the longbow, especially the compound shooter, should relax and enjoy this addition to his sport. I call it an addition because I shoot both compounds and longbows. And he should not go too heavy in draw weight. A fifty- pound longbow will give a lot of pleasure, and when the shooter builds up to it, a sixty or seventy will do a great deal of work. If an archer is dedicated enough to spend time in the back yard, he can build up to a lot of weight and handle it well.

Men of slight build can do it. I have a shooting acquaintance who is small of stature, yet he fires an eighty-six-pound longbow with ease and control.

Unfortunately, this peak can be lost if practice is forsaken. At the beginning of Winter, l am pretty strong with my own seventy-pound longbow. Federal Excise Tax and shipping. A letter to the company at N. The company also sells arrows, gloves, arm- guards, strings and other supplies to accompany the bow, all in the traditional Hill format. The longbow, unlike the over-the-counter recurve, has continued with a rather large following. It is good that an archer can select from different bow styles, compounds, recurves and longbows, giving him that much more scope to make his sport that much more interesting.
