I finished making and attaching the prod mounting side plates. The plates reinforce the area around the prod. The extension on the front lifts the Baldur Fatboy blunt slightly, so that only the rear of the APD touches the HDPE bolt grove. This reduces the drag caused by the taped shaft. And the HDPE track reduces drag on the string. Net result is more energy goes into the combat arrow. When the inside edges of the side plate extension are rounded, the blunt will sit slightly lower to the bolt grove. This also helps hold the combat arrow in place when moving rapidly over the battle field.
