Re: Heavy bolts?

So from your equation I figure I'm shooting 267 fps with the factory string. Is it worth upgrading to a Flemish? Does this Danny miller fella you guys are always talking about have a site or anything?

Re: Heavy bolts?

After picking up a half doz Easton 2219 and shooting them on a few grouping tests I'm very pleased. I think I've settled on muzzy 4 blade 100 gr broad heads. They keep 1.5" groups out to 40 yds. That's as far as I've shot it so far. Penetration has also been very good. I don't have a chrono so ...

Heavy bolts?

Local archery shop has some Easton aluminums not sure the number that are gonna weigh in at 453 gr with BH. Is this too heavy to shoot out of a ibex with the excel string? I was afraid it might slow it down enough to make the scope point not line up at the yardages. Anyone with experience with this ...

Re: Shot confusion!

What are some arrows I can order that won't break the bank. That will hit 350-400 gr with 100 gr tips. I hate to buy new bh's when I've got a doz 100 gr that I've been real happy with shooting outta my bow.

Re: Scope confusion!

I played around with it for a good hour. I even tried resighting the bow at 50. That made the 40,30 and 20 all hit way to low and a touch off horizontally.

Re: Scope confusion!

Yes all other groups are dead on the bullseye. From 40 to 50 something goes screwy.

Shot confusion!

I bought my wife the ibex smf lite stuff package today. She really likes it, it's much easier for her to cock and freehand shoot than her Parker. Anyhow to the point I got the scope all set up and loctited in. Sighted in at 20,30,40 with 1"-2.5" groups down the line. It shot really nicely ...
