I think the weapon you use is a personal choice and if you choose a crossbow then I am fine with it. I live in Ohio and I cant site one example of how a crossbow has degraded my bow hunting experience. I can site many examples of people screwing things up but they carried all kinds of weapons.

Pretty much all the above but rotate some of the stuff in and out like rain suit if forcast is good. I always carry my time warp continueum cordinater for time travel in case I miss my first shot. I also always have my prismatic light bending suit so i can be like that alien dude in predator. Has anyone gone to outfoxedproducts.com? If I get a gigger pack I could carry the Trojan Cow they sell! Not kidding a Trojan Cow who would have thought.

in reply to: Installing Inserts in Carbon Arrows so they Can Be Removed for Tuning? #58651

I use pre fletched Carbon Express 250 with 100gr brass inserts. They fit so tight that I dont use glue until after the tuning is done then I insert a welding rod from nock end and tap out the insert. This also works 99% of the time if the insert was installed with hot melt.

Richie
thanks so much for the valuable info. I have been looking at grs per inch more than spine that is probably my problem. Who did you get your gts from and do they come fletched? I want a rt hand fletch with 4″ arrows and I am having a hard time finding them unless I buy a dozen custom fletched. I hope someone answers your previous question because I am at the point with Efoc that I don’t know anything.

OK I stripped off the fletching of my three test arrows and ended back almost where I started.The Carbon Express 250 arrow shot the best but I did have to slightly lower my nock point and then I had to build out my arrow rest by gluing on another layer of leather. While I am happy with my arrow flight I am still back to an arrow with FOC of 24.59% is this adequate? Will it give me pass through on deer? Will it penetrate a shoulder on a deer? If I want more FOC what do I do now?

Stripping off the fletching was my next step however I thought if the arrows didnt hit the target straight with fletching why bother. The lightest arrows are GT 3555 they are about 7.4gpi my FOC calculation is 29.31% so I will strip off the fletching and report back. Thanks everybody for your help so far.

in reply to: PAYING FOR PERFORMANCE OR NAME? #53345

I purchased a custom bow and paid over $1000 for it. It is the best looking bow I own, and the finest made and the fastest, and the smoothest etc but I cant hit anything with it. I dont know why and it has nothing to do with the bow or how it was made but the fact remains it now sits in a corner and it is nice to look at. The bow I shoot the best is a 1972 Bear Super Magnum 48 probably the single most despised bow as a far as shootability so go figure. I personally will never buy another custom bow until I can shoot it a lot.

I am still out doing the valentines day thing so I can live a long arrow experimenting life. I have carbon express 250 with 5″ feathers no arrow wrap and 150 arrows with 51/2″ feathers and arrow wraps the 250 arrows give me a higher foc by a couple percent with a heavier arrow all other things being equal as far as insert and tip. I borrowed some gold tips that are much lighter with 4″ feathers they should be about 2 hrs per inch lighter and they are cut about 1/2″ to short they have the highest foc. If anyone is interested I will report my measurements. So far just shooting at my target they all seem to shoot straight and are sticking out of target straight unless my release is bad.so now what? I wish I could spend a day shooting with an expert.

Don’t get me started on the value of the dollar or lack there of. What carbon arrows are you using? I am using carbon express 250 but need to go lighter to increase foc. I am just trying to see how light in arrow weightstaying with a 5/16″ shaft.
