Actually Gary, if you added the weight to the front of the arrow as I describe, it drops right through all the branches no problem, but has accuracy. Trust me, I know. I have missed a shot or 2, cleared many trees, and it still drops right to the ground. Without the weight, I used to lose arrows all the time.

Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Ed, The reason I now only use the spud is I have no single easy tree to get over, it's a forest I have to shoot into, and the arrow is too light to bring itself down through the branches with a fishing line attached. I first used slingshots & the lead weight was hard to find in the woods. Then I tried arrows where I was having them hang in the branches. The spud weighs about a pound and it drops right through the branches, never hangs up. If someone is shooting over a stand-alone tree, an arrow or slingshot would likely be perfect. 73, Gary KA1J _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector
