I talked to Baron Vallust no long after that happened. He gave me the
impression the APD was basically a film canister taped on the back end of
the arrow.

I have some concerns that we should encourage a 45 degree angle on the front
of the tube unless someone can point out a reason not to. Baroness Ascelyn
of Bonwicke our Western Region Archery Marshal reported that a while back
Baron Vallust shot one of these while in the Outlands and the APD smacked
and
injured his finger on the bow hand at it passed the riser. I have done some
testing and I feel that with a 45 degree angle the risk seems to be reduced
as the APD should slide past the hand. However, with no front angle or a
lesser one I think the risk is increased.
I made some with a 22.5 degree angle and purposely nocked them backwards,
drew and released them and they smacked the riser pretty hard (I was smart
enough to get my hand out of the way). A 45 degree angle slipped past the
riser but ofcourse the shot was deflected off target.
In Service,
