The Asgard APD
These are pictures of Duke Baldar's new APD, the Asgard APD. These didn't turn out well, so I'll be adding more and better pictures as I get more time, but these should give you an idea.
This APD is a molded one.. it slips on a 1/4" fiberglass shaft. . It is a tight fight, but you still need to use the gel super glue. You should be generous and roll the shaft in the super glue gel, before slipping the Asgard APD into place. You need to give the gel at least 24 hours, before using the missile. It does not work on other diameter fiberglass shafts and it's not approved for wooden shafts. It's designed for 1/4" fiberglass shafts only. This is a one piece unit, that slips over the shaft and it includes a nock.
I just put a bunch in this picture, so you could see multiple angles at the same time.
These are some photos of the new Asgard APD
You can see the differences in the thickness, between the old, not legal version and the new approved version.
This was supposed to show the differences Between the old (not legal) one on the top,
Vs. the newer (approved) APD.. you can see the cut of the nock.
The photo on the right was supposed to show the difference in the cut. You can see the differences in the angle of the nock.
Some of the other pictures might show this better.
***I would like to thank his Grace Baldar for sending me samples of these new APDs.***
