Tye - I didn't use brass inserts on this first batch due to already having extra aluminum ones with brass weights. I did load up the weights on the front that makes them weigh ~10 grains heavier than the brass inserts though. Definitely like more weight up front - get much better groups with them n...

Tye - I didn't use brass inserts on this first batch due to already having extra aluminum ones with brass weights. I did load up the weights on the front that makes them weigh ~10 grains heavier than the brass inserts though. Definitely like more weight up front - get much better groups with them now.

I've hunted with blazers and GT's all season and haven't had a problem with them falling off at all. Goat Tuff is some great stuff and I won't use anything else for vanes or inserts from now on.

FYI - I love the blazers as well - use them with my Phoenix and have great arrow flight with them.

I also found out it weighs in at about 9oz heavier than the proelite - or right at 8 lbs 12 oz. Just too heavy for my tastes - but sounds great other than that. Pricing is going to be too high to get past the wife as well - probably going to add a profusion to my collection in '07 but am waiting on ...

I like it - narrow, fast, and accurate. The only question is weight and I'm guessing they used the Verton barrel of the profusion to keep the weight down but can't find that anywhere. If they did, it will be light as well. Not sure I'll be able to talk the wife into another purchase but it looks lik...

Only concern I would have would be a slight change in brace height damaging your bracket or limb savers. Cool idea though!

If a good Excalibur can take a squirrel at 40 yrds why do I hold myself to a 30 yard shot or less?? If a squirrel moves during the shot you miss - if a deer moves you could cause a slow death and loose him. Good enough reason to keep me from shooting! Ditto - with the squirrel you more than likely ...

I've used Lumenoks on my vertical bow arrows, and I'm not wild about the methodology they used to make them turn on and (especially) off. I bought some Tracers to try on my crossbow, and I'm much more impressed with those. I've never had one NOT light when it was fired past the magnet, but I've had...

I use the tracers and love them. Very reliable and have already saved me a few arrows. I didn't use any adhesive at all on them - just put the magnet at the center of the flight groove over the bolt in the center on my Phoenix - it holds just fine with the magnet. They will light without a magnet bu...

Agree 100%. Personal range preference is 30 yards or less. The "or less" part is what makes it fun for me - getting 'em close while on the ground gets the heart pumping! I won't take a shot at beyond 40 yards and would be verifying range with my Nikon 440 on anything beyond 25, since that ...

Great to hear wabi! My dad has the pro view and loves it. I wish I had bought it instead of the varizone. Not that the varizone is a bad scope but I like the ability to use the dots - especially when hunting turkey in a dark blind. Thanks for the update!

Now the AMAZING thing about this buck is that he only weighed 150 pounds field dressed. Another picture of him.. http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k263/gunzb4butr/26665439mdrecord.jpg Woody - That is amazing - given what the rack has to weigh! Looks like he has been run hard and put away wet. Them ...

Hippie - For what it's worth, I had the exact same problem with the BH's when I got my Phoenix. The arrows that come in the Right Stuff package are very low FOC and I think that is why I had the problem. I don't understand why they don't ship them with the brass insert in the front like they do with...

That's not a deer - I've seen deer and that isn't a deer. Someone needs to call Tokyo and tell them it's safe to go outside, Godzilla is dead...

I hunt morning, evening, and occassionally all day if things are "hot". I really prefer morning though - as others have said, tracking, gutting, etc. are always better when you can see. I also seem to have more situations where I'm having to make a judgement on whether I take an animal in ...
