Savora now shipping to local shops

[RadSav]

We are now shipping the Titanium Signature (DelMastro and Vandyke blade series), Triple Sec. and the Madman series to local stores.  For pictures and some detail please take a look at Carpsniperg2's thread http://hunting-washington.com/smf/index.php/topic,169423.0.html

My hope is to start getting at least some samplings out to all our direct dealers in WA by the end of the week.  My intent is to use this thread to notify H-W when different shops take possession of product through direct purchases.  Of course I can not advise if orders are placed through our distributing partners.  But hopefully a representative from shops can post a note on here if they begin stocking through those other venues.

If you would like to receive a catalog prior to our website being completed please send me a PM and I will have one mailed to you asap.

Thank you all for your patience and interest in the new Savora products!

Last Friday I delivered some of everything to Archery World in Vancouver, WA. http://www.archeryworld.net/


Joe should have these on display at the Portland Sportsman's show Feb 4-8.

Radsav are you going to the portland show for any reason?

I have no plans to go to the show at this time.  If Lamiglas or a customer needed help I myself would consider it.  But, RAD, Inc. does not do consumer shows.

Good to hear!

i was just wondering if you were going personally.  I figured savora would have a booth.  Think ill be down that way all weekend so thought i'd ask.

[RadSav]

No consumer booths for us.  Besides being insanely busy we don't want to become competitors to our dealer base.  We do try to assist any dealers working shows, if they ask for it.

And I personally will always stand by Lamiglas when and if they ask for my help.  Though the business has greatly effected my "What have you done for us lately" standing with them.  And I'm sure they are tired of hearing me complain about the Esprit Concept rods no longer being available.  Sorry, but I like cork

What brings you down to Portland?

RadSav- This may be a silly question and one you may have answered in another thread but what is the thought behind a longer chisel point rather than a shorter one that puts the point closer to the blades?

There are two benefits to this type of point/blade profile; 

One is that the longer point hits first before the blades on quartering way animals reducing the chance of skip/glancing shots.  This can be a real problem with short steep angled blades.  So the long point is a security measure.

Second is that the longer point stretches the hide slightly before the steep angled short blades start cutting leaving a larger entry and exit wound than the diameter of the head would make otherwise.  I noticed this much more with the first prototypes, but once we finished the double scallop point it did reduce this a bit as it cuts a little too easy.  A trade off we were happy to take.  If you want a larger hole you can simply flatten the very tip a little and that will enlarge the hole in the hide.  Makes no difference on internal tissue though.

Regardless of the uneducated hype about points...they really make a VERY minute difference in penetration.  Size and shape of blade vents, sharpness of the blades, number of blades and diameter make a much larger impact on penetration than does a point of nearly any shape.  Static force tests measure the exact opposite of what actually happens when an arrow strikes it's target.  So for the most part point topics are marketing hype and/or complete rubbish.  Though we did make sure these points excel in a static force test for those who choose not to believe   I burnished the edges on these points to help with the second point mentioned.  So a guy could even sharpen them more if he desires to improve the static performance.
