About the Asgard APD
The Asgard APD is a single piece APD made of molded polyethylene plastic,
the same material Siloflex is made from. It consists of a nock and a round
APD ring integrated into one unit. It is meant to be used on 1⁄4”
fiberglass shafting only. Don’t try to make them work on wooden shafts,
please. Due to its design, it can only be used in longbows if you are a
right handed archer. If you are a left handed archer, use Routed Channel
Siloflex APDs, or another design.
You don’t need to use fletches if you use the Asgard APD on your combat
archery arrows. The ring is meant to serve not only as an APD but also as
an airfoil.
If your Kingdom permits it and your combat archery crossbow is designed
for it, you can use the Asgard APD on a crossbow bolt. Snip off the nock
tips and file the end down smooth. Use Baldar Blunts on the other end.
Remember, Society rules forbid heavy and light crossbow bolts on the same
field at the same time. If you are using a heavy crossbow of 600 ip or
higher and it is channeled to use Fellwalker or tubular bolts, be aware
that your bow can launch light crossbow bolts made from Baldar Blunts and
the Asgard APD. This could prove dangerous. Please be careful!!
Installing the Asgard APD
First, keep in mind that it is very, very difficult to get anything to
bond to Siloflex. Numerous methods and innumerable adhesives and adhesive
combinations have been very extensively tried, and have not been
successful. If you don’t care to reinvent the wheel and do care that your
arrows with Asgard APDs pass inspection, please follow these directions
and take them seriously!! |
