Just made up my arrows for moose trip in 5 weeks.

Laser II, brass insert, 100 grain Slick Tricks weighing in at 405 grains for my Phoenix.

Have never shot through a chronigraph with it but 2 inch groups at 50 yards.

I can live with that.
If the thrill of the hunt is lost, then I have lost.

Phoenix - Varizone Scope - Custom GT Laser II - 100 grain Slicks / brass inserts - Boo string

PSE Axe 6 - Axcel Sight - QAD Rest - TruBall S1 Release
