ROOPS!

reprepair · Dec 1, 2020

My son's errant shot. 125yds. Bounced off the ground missed the target through a window into the ROPS on the 3930. Better backstops were a topic at dinner.

Doesn't say much for the rops if an arrow can puncture it.

It's all about the structure, not thickness.

It didn't make it very far.

At least you weren't sitting in the seat.

How many inches did the shaft move forward after the point stuck?
Might need some wrapping on end of shaft like on a fishing rod.
Then the point would go in a bit more!

Better the ROPS than the seat or fenders.

After going 125 yards I wouldn’t want it saving my neck

(quoted from post at 09:44:59 12/02/20) Better the ROPS than the seat or fenders.

...or a tire! Dad found a broadhead in an 18.4x34 tractor tire a couple years ago. Cost him a tube and a new rim, because the rim was so bad they couldn't reuse it.

That’s what she said.

I have a 3910 and the steel in the ROPS is like 3/16"; plenty durable. I drilled mounting holes in mine for an aftermarket Tough Top and it took awhile to drill 6 ea. ⅜" holes through both sides. I would take the converse attitude. Helluva arrow tip and stout bow. Figure that thing would go right through a deer and not look back.

ROOPS!
