ARCH - Combat bolt question...

[Duke, Wes]

The measurement is taken from the end of the nock to where the shaft meets
the head of the arrow.

	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,
