Arrows testers needed - this is a very old thread

[robertyb]

I fletched mine on a Bitzenburger with right hand helical. Not a lot of helical on the old Bitz but the arrows shoot mighty fine.

Same here regular 2 inch blazers. rh helix done on the Arizona bolt.

Thank you guy's soooooo very much. Now I know what to order for my Exocet 200. 2" Blazers with the right helical.

[Shotnbeer]

Fletched Boo's test arrows with the 2" Blazers. Used Arizonia EZ fletch with the right helical. I have alway shot stock firebolts and thought they were OK. After shooting Boo's set up I can see I've been missing the boat. These arrows really hold a good group.

[awshucks]

Which rt hand helical did you use, the old 4" style or the newer Bolt?

[Shotnbeer]

I used the ez fletch Bolt.

Finally was able to get back out and shoot these Black Eagle Arrows against my Gold Tip Laser II's again. I took the best 3 arrows from each of the groups and numbered then 1,2,3. these were the best arrows for my groups. All shooting was done from my shooting bench at 56 degrees.

First 3 shot group at 30 yards with Gold Tips was 7/8 of an inch

First 3 shot group at 30 yards with BEA was 1 3/8 with a Robin Hood so my no. 3 arrow was destroyed so I went to no. 4 for testing.

First 3 shot group at 40 yards with Gold Tips was 1 3/8.

First 3 shot group at 40 yards with BEA was 1 inch

First 3 shot group at 50 yards with Gold Tips was 1 15/16.

First 3 shot group at 50 yards with BEA was 2 1/4.


The Black Eagle's shoot just as good as the Gold Tip Laser II's. I did find the more I shot tight groups the wraps started showing a good bit of wear. I also tried changing the cock vane on some of the arrows and on one arrow in particular I saw a change in impact at 50 yards by about 1 1/2 the arrow flew to the right away from the other 2.

Thanks Don for these sweet arrows I hate I destroyed one today.

I appreciate every bit of effort and time that all of you guys put out.
Those who give me everything I asked for (see my first post) should contact me by email and I will send a string in appreciation for your efforts.

Wow!!!

Random acts of kindness can change the world.

If this isn't a example of living up to their signature line I don't know what is!

I forgot tell you guys who got what.
0.001" shafts went to;Masboy, Kd8Jgu, Novaboy, Hester and Flightattendant

Iswoody was sent shafts but did not receive them.
Chinook received them but well, chalk that one up and learn who you send what to. Live and learn

All in all I am pleased with the efforts. Some things are unfortunate but.......

[Hester0305]

Thanks Don for your generosity once again. I knew which ever arrows I had shot great. Like I said before these arrows are keepers and I would put them up against the Gold Tips Laser II's anyday. The best way I know now to break them in is get some blood on them Boo arrows.

Thanks again Don!

You mean to tell me that my first attempt shooting my Vortex at 50 yards gave results like this and I was shooting the .003 shafts. Now I know why I had that one flyer that I thought I had pulled a little.



Thanks again Don. It was a pleasure shooting them.

I'm glad that this was an education for everyone. I just don't have the time to test so I think it's mutually beneficial. It's also great to have people with some kind of diagnostic minds to figure stuff out like you did.
