hmm, didn't know that!

[chris hennelly]

Decided to buy some new arrows for my longbow.....best arrows are Port Orford Cedar......after many years of ignorance I thought I would find out what sub species this is..........amusingly,POC is our old friend Chamaecyparis lawsoniana! Don't know why arrowsmiths are not labelling it as such?...........Or can I re-price/re-label lawson logs?

 

Also,does any one have experience of Time serts from Wurth?

As heli-coils have failed in exhaust of ms200.

Why's that, then?

[doobin]

Lol, I'm in the same boat! Always assumed it was something exotic!

 

Chris, what weight do you pull? I'm more of a fan of the mongolian style horse bows, currently have a 55lb er and also a 40lb take down recurve.

I didn't know that either - I'll have to keep an eye out for some and see if UK-grown material works as well. The Archer's Craft by A.E.Hodgkin has a good section on making arrows.

Timeserts are FAR better than Heli-Coils for applications where the fastener is likely to be re-opened and reused in the future.

Heli-Coils are fine for repairing something that's not intended to be ever opened again, but they don't like repeated use.

Timeserts also give you a much better grip in soft alloy stuff.

 

The kits aren't cheap, but I find them invaluable.

Yip , I have used timeserts , much better than helicoils .
