    Default So who goes to a Pro/Am with only five arrows

    That would be me, only figured out I was coming on Wed and guess the arrow thing didnt enter my mind. So here I am in my room after knocking off three individual fletchings on the practice range trying to fix arrows without a jig and fletchings. This is coming from a guy who used to bring extra limbs, string and a press. I have some reg blazers but I use minis so I cut some down to mini size and glued them on without a jig. I know stupid right, I figure all I need is two good arrows, one for Sat and one for Sunday anyway.

    Keep them out of the ten ring and no one hopefully will hit them

    Yeah, no doubles but I wont be shooting at the same spot on the bags anymore this trip. Its kinda weird, I've been using these arrows at home for a month, shot three tournaments with them and no issues. I get down here and the fletchings that came off pulled a thin clear layer off my wraps, which Ive never seen before. Same wraps as I've used for three years, got me a little worried now. If I was home I'd be stripping them.

    I can not believe you only have 2 good arrows .Catch up with Wesley and borrow some of the logs he's shooting .Good luck all you need is one arrow .I think it's the warmer climate up here the vains were frozen on .I have to see your new set up when you get back .

    That's funny. I cannot think of any ASA event where I've ever come home with more than 1 destroyed arrow, yet I usually take 12. But the first time I only take a couple, that's when it will happen. I go to local shoots with only 2-3 arrows. Stupid I know.

    The Lancaster booth can help you if you are in trouble. Or others like the GT booth. Get Gillingham to fix em for you. Nice guy. He'll be at their booth.

    I think he's giving us pre-tourney excuses in case he shoots bad.
