approved:

> Siloflex 100 psi and 160 psi for use on fiberglass arrows.

> These are approved with one of the following attachment methods:

> Siegfried's design (internal tab):

> Robert the Bald's design (routed channel):

> Lu-shan's design (external tab):

> You can use any of the three designs listed above, along with strapping
tape

the

> Other designs and styles of APD's are still being tested and reviewed.
This

> We should have some new updates any time now :)

testing
> results for APD's that work on wooden shafts, please send them to the SAM,
