DANG RAMCATS WON'T FIT

Post by paulaboutform »

This may have come up and I missed it but I just got some RamCats in the mail yesterday from a certain troublemaker from the forum. With an upcoming Russian Boar hunt less than three weeks away I wanted to try one out. Well, the dang ol 125gr RamCat won't fit through the Dr Stirrup kit! Pretty disappointing as I was curious to see how they fly. Maybe it'll clear the stock stirrup???

Really Paul? That is dissapointing :|
I was assured the 1.5" would clear the stock stirrup, never though it wouldn't clear the DS.

Paul, if those ramcats don't work for you and they are 125 grain let me know. I scooped the qad exodus from the same person you got the ramcats from. And I also wanted to give the ramcats a whirl.

You could snip off the very tip of each blade to make them fit. How much room is needed to clear the Dr Stirrup?

The 125s clear my stock Gen 1 Micro. One reason I never tried a DS stirrup was I was worried about what you just confirmed. I'm anxious to see what you think of their flight out of your 380

The 100 grain clear the stock stirrup on the M -330 & 355. Same cutting diameter.

I was wrong about the diameter being the same, the 125 grain are 1.5" and the 100 grain are 1.375".
