You're only paranoid if everyone isn't out to get you.

Re: SOMEWHAT DISSAPPOINTED
Well Amigo's,,,here's the plan,,first and foremost,,locate a forward riser,,,Strum has offered to send me a good string that will add to the equation,,then go from there,,,don't know how hard it will be to find a 350 total grain arrow,,but that's the direction I'm headed with arrows,,,I have a pretty good stash on Magnus Buzzcuts,,they fly absolutely great,,and cut great,,it's gonna be interesting and funfuzzy wrote:JUSTANUFF wrote:I would be more than happy with numbers like that!!!mr meat wrote:with Kathys vixen11 with a boo endless loop shooting a 427gr arra she gets 281 fps
281 fps with that weight arrow seems a little high . The best your gonna get from a 150# Vixen with a 325 grain arrow and a quality string is 285-287 fps. Good luck.

Re: SOMEWHAT DISSAPPOINTED
Dependin on the type of shaft you want & what components. You should have several options fer arrows that weight around 350gr total

That depends on what the string weighs. If it's a light Angel EL, which weigh half of factory string it's entirely possible.

Re: SOMEWHAT DISSAPPOINTED
I took some GTII's & cut my brass down. I can't remember maybe to 70gr. Used alum. flat nocks that were hollow & 2" Blazer vanes. Can start off wid 20" on shaft always cut an inch to drop about 9gr. Maybe some on have done same & kept records
Re: SOMEWHAT DISSAPPOINTED
I'd keep it the way it is if it were me. Those Vixens are tack drivers. No need for more speed. I think the Ontario record for archery moose is still held by a Vixen. Correct me if I'm wrong...
