Hey Reo, we had a discussion in the club about arrow length. There are rumours that a longer arrow flys better. For 3d WA and because of my short draw length i always cut the arrows as short as possible (1inch to the rest) your arrows seems pretty short, too. What do you think about it. I would appreciate to hear your opinion about it. Thank you and greeting from Germany 🤘

I shot low FOC 400ish grain arrows my whole life with fixed heads and never had a problem with penetration. I tried to do the same with mechanical's and had shockingly horrible results. I lost a couple because of it. I bumped up to 455 grains with 15% FOC and started getting passthroughs again. No way in hell would I shoot a sub 400 grain arrow with a mechanical, even a Sevr 1.5. Yes, if the deer is dead broadside and you only hit ribs you will get the job done, but it just isn't the best. That same arrow would be risky on larger pigs and elk. Everything works until it doesn't.
@tray228 күн бұрын
Your results mimic mine however I totally stopped shooting mechanical heads because they all will eventually fail even with a proper arrow setup. We have auto insurance for vehicle accidents, I shoot simple fixed heads for the same reason. When you are always hitting the mark almost any broadhead will take down the deer. Deer move, we mess up a little on our shots, and then there are unknown factors. Getting rid of that mechanical head really simplifies the setup and it saves money/arrows in the long run.

@jakef.53253 ай бұрын
So genuine question, do you shoot expandables? Is this technique okay with a fixed blade shooter? It seems when my tune is a little off my field point grouping will be great but broadheads will be way off. I know expandables are a little more forgiving when bow isnt tuned perfectly. But I’ve never tried tuning to a nock high left.
@jasonteebo14373 ай бұрын
I think yhe whole arrow weight and speed controversy is such a joke..a lot of guys saying heavy arrows dont shoot as accurate and such stuff is silly cuz if they don't its a tuning problem..the crazy spped guys that want 290 plus fps .im guessing most of them didn't hunt back in the 80s when 220 was blazing fast and we actually had sharp out of the box broadheads. We shot plenty of bucks around 40 yrds and the guys out west were killing elk and stuff at 50 and 60..

For the past few years I have been shooting Black Eagle X-Impacts with a total arrow weight of 495gr with 200gr up front. I had no intention of having my arrows this heavy or with a 19%foc. I am shooting a PSE Xpedite NXT at 70lbs and 30in DL. There arrows are pushing 305fps and hit like sledge hammers. My normal arrow set up was always around 420gr and a 8-9% FOC with the same bow setup and I had no problem having complete pass throughs on whitetails and black bears. It is my belief that it doesn't matter what arrow you shoot or the amount of FOC you have but that practice and shot placement are the number one key factors to making ethical kills of the animals we hunt. We owe it to the animals. Just my thoughts and keep up the great content.

Im shooting a VXR at 28" draw 75# mods with a 480gr arrow shooting 280 fps. At 70# it still shoots 270 fps. I would call that a happy medium. i would consider what youre shooting a speed arrow at less than 400gr. After shooting arrows at the 400gr range for a few years, then switching to the 4mm and a little more weight, the penetration is not even comparable. Based on my experience, 450gr is the lowest weight my arrows will be. Probably won't ever go 500gr either unless im fooling around with a doe or pigs.

Absolutely don't need super heavy arrows for animals his arrow weight will blow thru any animal.people need to train to place the arrow were it needs to put for kill shot instead of worrying about hitting shoulders and heavy bone all the time. I know shot happens but be patient and place the shot correctly within ethical ranges!!!

i’ve been shooting a similar setup past few years . easton procomp 250s with deep 6 expandables (460 gns)and this setup worked great on many elk, deer (coues&muleys) and one sheep. this year i went even lighter spine and weight (416gn)to parallel pro 300 same bhead and ended up taking a nice pronghorn with a less than ideal shot. these are pricey shafts and i shed a tear when i press the trigger but you cant deny the results.

That setup will not go through heavy bone. You might be a great archer and never hit a heavy bone, but most weekend hunters might need something with a little more momentum behind it to survive a heavy bone hit. Maybe you didn't know, but some guys torque their bows sometimes.

@tailchasers722 it's not just breaking a bone you hit, it is braking a bone you hit, and still getting a pass through on the animal. I've been bow hunting long enough to know that the difference between a 400gn set up and a 550gn set up in penetration(both using single bevel broadheads) the difference is pretty outstanding. You can't explain away the gain in momentum with some anecdotal tale.
