Here’s my final end product.2 12″x 4 straight fletch;slight offset.Had too build out the shelf plate when I switched to a smaller feather.I have finally divorced my magnus stinger 2 blades and beer can arrows(said goodbye too aluminum inserts as well).I must confess though, I did take some of the old dogs to the pope and young trad shoot in brownsville.(broadhead 3d shoot).Shot the tuffheads only at targets that if I missed could easily recover my arrows.Thanks to all for showing me the light! THESE ARROWS ROCK!

I got the new cabelas archery catalog. Flipped

through the pages and it was mostly crossbows and mechanical broadheads. Tossed it in the recyclables were it belonged.

Here in my neck of the woods, they clear cut, replant with doug fir only.Then comes the aerial spraying of herbicide killing every thing but the fir. Then they spray again. You end up with a dead zone of vegetation that takes about five years to recover!…and they wonder why the blacktail and roosevelts are in decline.

I bought some hex blunts from Dave at the Pope and Young shoot in Brownsville.Very nice guy.It was my first time there and his wife Nancy was very helpful.I open my first magazine from TB and there they were.As a member of TAO I’m glad to have Dave and Rich and the rest of the officers represent us.Now their is talk of allowing crossbows for the disabled in the general archery season .WE need guy’s like Dave more than ever.

Went back to the GT5575. First thing I did was remove the footing as being at 2″ it was up against the shelf. Made me a 1″ one out of a old 2216 shaft from a hodgepodge box of arrows.Cut a 1/4 inch off arrow till I got good flight.Slight impact to left.Some nock high at 10 yrds, but level at 15,20,25,30 yards. Might do a little bit fine tuning but I think I’ll wait till I get a half dozen.As of now arrow weight 681 grs. foc 30%. Thanks Steve!:twisted:

Shot 20 and 25 yrd. Fishtail too the right 10 yrds then too the left. Never had luck with the 10 yrd thing. Heres my first shot at 25 yrds after adding 25 grs too point weight. Still too stiff.
