Being able to build a set of arrows to hit the same hole is the first step.

Everything has to be just right when you're reaching out past 40 yards, and the farther from there you go, the better you, and your gear has to be. I would recommend the one arrow, same cock vane theory to start. If you get what you want with that, then you add in more arrows, and things go south on you, you know where to focus your energy, and investments. Make sure all shots are performed with the brace height as close as you can measure, it does not matter a whole lot inside 40 yards, but after that, two FPS can change the game drastically. Good Luck on the stretch, let us know how it goes, and what you discover! 8)

Thanks all for your ideas, a one arrow cock vane test will be a definite trial and just a lot of practice this weekend if time and weather allows.
