Nice group! It's hard to tell from the pictures, any significant difference in penetration at 50 yards?

great shooting and even more impressive if all your gear is "out of the box", indicative of a great product with really little "NEED" to upgrade accessories.

Nice shooting. You can find several custom arrow makers on the forum. If you keep shooting "Groups" you will need them :lol: Looks super, have fun with the bow and the boy.

That is awesome...I just got a 405 as well and can't wait to get outside to shoot some distance. I keep hearing get Zombie Slayers, and I am going to, but some people say to shoot 20" rather than the 18"...any ideas on this fellas? That was a good grouping!

Let me know please when you figure out what length and combo works best for you. Some people on here claim that 20" is the way to go, and I am curious how the standard 18" works. Because if the 18's work good, I will prob stick with one size!

These shots were with Diablos. I'm still learning and plan to try the BEE's.
If I may make a small suggestion, even though the BEE'S are great you may want to consider the BE Zombies. The extra cost is almost nothing and you'll have a much stiffer spined shaft that I believe your 405 will like much better.

18" zombies here with my 405 and are very accurate. Can't wait for another month or so then I will be testing my 405 at longer ranges. Will be testing to 100 yards in the near future
