[QUOTE="eddie c, post: 4529016, member: 972"] [b]Re: Traditional Kill?A[/b] ok, let's analyze this.: remember I don't consider myself an expert. 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. [color=#0040FF]don't overthink traditional. using plastic nocks shouldn't take away your fun. it would actually be safer.[/color] I’m thing 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. [color=#0040FF]I agree with the 5" feather. how ever, if you are going to limit your shot to15 yards, I don't think you will see enough in speed difference between the full helical and straight fletch to make a difference. with that being said, if you find the right shaft, straight fletch should work. I don't think the Indians worried about helical vs straight. [/color] I plan to use as large diameter shaft as I can get. [color=#0040FF]I wouldn't restrict myself to just a large shaft. at that poundage you may have trouble with good flight with a large shaft being too stiff. the stone point may limit you to the large shaft but be open to the smaller sizes. [/color] again, i'm no expert, this is just my observation. [/QUOTE]
