Bolt/Arrow setup

Post by kd8jgu »

Here lately see a lot of FPS, KE, and so on
Over 30 years of archery hunting I have learned a few things
Each one of my vertical bows have a arrow setup they like
Each one of my Excals have bolt setups they like
For ex.
The Ibex likes blazer vanes, 150grn BH
Vixen likes the Blazers but a 125grn BH
Exomag like the Vane Tech vanes, 150grn BH
Grizzly likes Blazers and 125grn BH
All have had pass thru on large hogs
I have tried different set ups on each one
This is what has been the best setup for each

I guess what I am saying if you are not getting what you want make small changes until you find what your Excal likes
May my aim be true and my arrow fly straight

A touch of frost has heightened your awareness and your heart steadily beats in anticipation. Your senses are suddenly alert to the movement on the forest floor and you realize that the moment of truth is at hand.
