Title: Bare Shaft Tuning....
Post by: Roger Norris on June 19, 2023, 08:15:21 PM
I am loving my new Black Widow carbon limbs....tuning before I fletch, using Easton Axis Traditional 400's, 100 grain brass inserts, 250 grain points....the bow is only 50 pounds. These are flying great, this bare shaft shot was about 17 yards.

I always bare shaft including :archer2: woodies.  I'm care full to start up close with the woodies to prevent breaking them.

How is penetration on whitetail sized animals? Probably going to use ABOWYER single bevel heads.
