ARCH - Combat bolt question...

[Pug Bainter]

Duke, Wes (WDuke at healthaxis.com) said something that sounded like:
> 1.	While the rules do state that UHMW is legal on wood shafted arrows,
> I have not tried this, but will. I may change the wording on this to state
> that UHMW is only legal on fiberglass. 

Thanks for the clarification.

> 2.	UHMW does not need a stop in the head between the shaft and the
> UHMW. You will not get a punch through with these heads.

Ahh. I guess it needs to be clarified a little if you care.

I'd just hate to see someone get screwed because of the mis-statement in
law about UHMW.

> 3.	28 inches is the max length for both arrows and bolts the average
> bolt length is 16 inches. But this should be adjusted to balance with your
> crossbow.

Ahh! My bad. I thought it said minimum, not maximum. That'll teach me to
read while sick. With 28" maximum does that mean shaft, nock and head,
or just the exposed shaft?

Ciao,
