Title: getting better at 32Yds
Post by: GabeGa on August 31, 2011, 09:45:00 PM

i just have to brag about it    :)  i'm shooting on regular basis in my back yard and i upped the challenge at 32 yards this afternoon  
was shooting a Ben Pearson take-down  signature 7331, 50# @ 28" , the string is a 50 endless loop Dacron, the arrows are 400 spine-30" long , true flight shield cut5" feathers left wing, fletched by me using the  2 sided tape and a blitz,  the field tips are bullet shaped 125GR--- Second set of arrows are 500 spine 28.1/2" long ,5" parabolic cut left, with 100GR field point
Now at this distance the longer ones 125GR i had to aim at the top rim of the target to get them centered, compared to the shorter ones 100GR arrows that i shot straight where aimed , it was a cool-for me experience- i was shooting them mixed so i had to adjust my aiming constantly --even more fun    :goldtooth:

good shooting, but if you plan to hunt you might want to use heavier heads.
