some 50yd arrow test today
I,m down to 8 of my 2114s that I shoot and they been thru a lot .all my sorted out best shooting ones I lost or broke on deer this year. these are all my rejects for one reason or another but all I have so picking out the ones that shoot ok with close to same poi. it was a light wind but shot anyway and at 50yds from a good bench and sandbags I shot each arrow three times and two arrows shot 1/2 inch group and 2 arrows shot 3/4 inch group and one arrow shot 1 inch group and two shot 1-1/8 inch group and one shot 1-1/2 inch group. so half of these old arrows shot 3/4 inch and under. I guess I,ll be making a new batch soon so I can pick out the best shooting ones with the same poi for my target shooting and be smart enough to not shoot all my best arrows at deer this year. I know one thing on a calm day you can poke holes with these excaliburs with the right arrows( these bows are shooters!!!!)

All shots were right there, good shooting at that distance with those no good sticks

Re: some 50yd arrow test today
I've learned at 40-50 yards you need some kind of backstop, because if you miss the target with the speed these arrows are traveling, you can kiss them good-bye. I've got 2 arrows on the other side of the creek next to my house in some of the thickest stuff God has ever created...I'll never see them again. Lesson learned
