    Claytor Spreader Bars

    Here are a couple of pics of the spreader bars that Smithobx (the originator of the arrow shaft spreader bars for the Claytor Hammock) made for my new Claytor. This is the first set he has made of graphite (less than 1/2 oz. for both). His originals are made from aluminum arrows.

    That's my plan at the moment. I know I would end up loosing the arrow spreader bars.

    Surely you mean 'losing'. 'Loosing an arrow' has an entirely different meaning.
