Re: Arrow Retension Spring
I noticed that SHRINK WRAP holds arrow in place better than metal of the RS..So I guess you could go higher with shrink wrap on but I am no expert on this ..as some said it does not matter on flight of arrow if it is tight or loose?I still wonder if rubber on arrow is ok or is it better arrow slides...

Re: Arrow Retension Spring
I hope I did shrink wrap right did all of the retention spring with regular heat shrink..used 2 different sizes and use lighter..I covered the scope end above it with alum foil so heat would not cause problem...question I assume rubber on RS at end does not affect POI on arrows?

Re: spitfire sharp?
Most expandables i have seen schwacker. spitfire dont have a super super super anal sharp blades if thats what you mean but i assure you a store bought new spitfire is sharp enough to do its job.

Re: polishing trigger latches ?
If you use 1500 wet/dry paper then the 2000 if you pull too hard it will break the paper..I think Boo mentioned that is why he went with other paper..I used 1500 dry then used the 2000 with wet soapy water pulling lightly cut into 1/4 inch long strips like Boo info said....It shines like inside of m...
