Is the bottom leather or raw hide? I use cut on contact broadheads that would shred leather. Also, how much of a 31" arrow would stick out of the top?

if you are using broadheads they would shred it....not deep enough for a 31"

The bottom appears to be the same leather as the sides. I installed a 1/2" piece of closed cell foam to prevent cutting from the broad heads. A 31" arrow will stick out 15", with no broad head attached.

I use a skinning knife with a rounded point, but for processing it works great. The blade is not very flexible, so if your wanting to butcher small game or fish the regular model would work better. The handle gives you a good grip on the knife even when covered in blood and slime, better then any i have ever used and Clean-up has never been a real problem. They are scary sharp and easy to keep that way with a little 600 grit wet/dry paper and a leather strop or belt. Mora are some of the best working knife I've ever used (and I've used a lot). I also do the hot vinegar to all my Mora's tho it is not needed (search youtube for hot vinegar patina). Buy a few, you won't be sorry.

I used both, O ring and then the metal collar. I have mixed emotions about these broadheads. Hit a deer at 12 yards the bolt went in on a slight angel behind the leg and went up and deflected along the spine all twisted up. This was the first time I used this point and it is the first time I didn't get a through and through...not sure why.

The sheath is made of a rawhide like material, im assuming goat. I keep mine wiped down with a little mink oil. Same stuff you use for boots. Seems to keep it pretty waterproof. Have not needed to use any other maintenance on it.

Yeah brother, looks like 1.5 is maybe max for my leather sheath, but let me warn you, it's REALLY TIGHT. You'll need to "break it in" w/ a leather protectant like Lexol, mink oil, maybe even Vaseline. I'm going w/ a nylon black aftermarket (NiteEyes (sp?) or maybe a Black MUT sheath.

I emailed Leatherup. They couldn't send me the pulls but they gave me a 10% refund. I'm surprised they haven't changed the pics. If you look you can find them online. Don't recall the websight.

I do not understand what you mean? I do know that with a "Toxic" arrow will take a buck down at 55 yards with ease. Ran 20 twenty yards at most. Put a hole clear through his shoulder about the same size as a twelve gauge deer slug.

Dear friend,our arrows are all handmade item.We embedded in a small nails in the broadhead hole to stabilise the broadhead,so you can put the nails out and put down the broadheads and then replace them with target points. If that doesn't work.You have to cut down the broadheads.Any questions and suggestions feel free to let we know.Thanks a lot.

Go to Youtube and look up 'how to use a leather awl' or just 'speedy stitcher'. There are some good video tutorials online.

recommend 700 spine carbon arrow, don't use cheap fiberglass shafts. Best result with feather fletching. original length arrow is OK and do NOT recommend cutting arrow to actual draw length, because cutting down the length will make the arrow stiffer.

I went on line and printed out directions. I really like mine it locks stitches as your sewing. I bought my cousin one for Xmas, he works with leather all the time. He goes to thrift store or goodwill and buys the largest women's purse he can find and then strips it and then uses the leather for whatever he decides to make. Right now he's sewing a pouch to hold is canteen. Online, u tube illustrates how to use the awl. Best thing about the awl you can use a roll of thread for continue use be sure to use bees wax.

Your bow should be fine. I think the response concerning the crossbow was a bit "overstated". I'm shooting a 60# compound w/field tips and they went in 3-5 ". I've taken mine apart after more than 2000 shots and recycled the contents into a replacement bag cover which I highly recommend doing! ;0)

I agree with "daddyo". I will be hunting with Arrow Precision 6 Pack Carbon Arrows (20-Inch) tipped with G5 Outdoors T3 100 Grain 3 Pack Crossbow Broadhead. With the bolts and tips that came with it I am hitting groups the size of my fist at 25 yards and the last time I was firing it I actually "Robin Hooded" one of my bolts. Split the end of the bolt with another bolt. Very cool story but terribly unfortunate for my bolt count.

Hi. In answer to your question, the blade itself is 1 1/2", (1.5"), wide. The effective cutting width when affixed to the tool appears to be 1 5/32" at best. The tool has good heft to it and if your leather is firmly secured you might get close to what your target is. Try it on a scrap piece first. Good Luck, Joe D.

I use a 45 #compound and it works fine for that. The leather is real heavy and thick. My bow is adjustable and later on when I build up more strength Ill increase it to 55 and so on. I really think it could handle it

I use it for a full sized Buck. Not a sheath for everyday use. Leather yes but you have to sew together yourself. Stitching is exposed to knife blade.

Any version of this bow 40 lbs or over will have no problem killing a deer or hog. As far as broadheads go I would go for some mechanical broadheads because they won't pull the arrow as much during flight due to wind resistance. Arrows you'll just have to experiment with to find the ones that shoot better for you. This isn't a true traditional recurve, and does require an arrow rest to be able to shoot off of.
