- I was also going to ask for a summary or some such on the blade issue. I have read a little
- on that, and have some confusion over the number of blades. Some say that the two-bladed
- arrowhead was the ultimate or it would not have lasted as long as it did and that there are
- tests showing that people are beginning to realize that. Usually these arguements are
- along the lines of two blades=less friction=better penetration. Me, I shoot a three-blade
- Wasp. Yet, I have very little understanding of the actual physics and would like to know
- more. There is not much of a library here although I have not checked out the Boise State
- University library.

- If you could post a regular list of books and videos I think it would really be a great
- help to all of us. I would be willing to archive such a listing on my machine here and to
- respond to e-mail requests for the list and to update it as books were posted or e-mailed
- to me.
