[QUOTE="Smo, post: 4528989, member: 12078"] What I would be worried about is the nock splitting out. I guess I could use a plastic nock , but then that wouldn’t be very Traditional. After deer season I’m going to take a better look at what my options are. I’m thinking with a stone point I will need atleast 5” long fletching , which I’m going to mount straight as possible. I was taught straight fletching creates less drag which will increase speed,...some. I plan to use as large diameter shaft as I can get. My thinking is, with a 40 pull bow , shooting at 15 yards or less the mass should help with penetration and stabilization over the short distance.... I have also thought about using a Hickory shaft , one like what used for a Traditional style muzzleloaders ram rod. It would require a straight grain rod as well...... [/QUOTE]
