ADs and Hill question...
« on: June 05, 2010, 12:00:00 PM »
I know this topic gets beat to death, but I'm struggling a little bit with which arrows to get for my Hill Halfbreed.

Some might think it's sacrilegious to shoot anything but cedars out of a Hill, but I'm more interested in shooting and not repairing arrows.

I've used the AD Hammerheads out of other bows and really like how durable they are.  They also seem to fly really well.

So here's my setup:  69" Halfbreed, 45#@29". I draw it to almost 31", so it's pulling around 52#.  I'd like to shoot around a 580 to 620 grains.

Ideally, I'd like to stick with 125gr points. I do have some of the 100gr brass inserts, too.

With my regular Hammerheads, the stock aluminum insert and a 125gr head weigh around 620gr, but they are too stiff for the Halfbreed.

So, will the Hammerhead lights give me what I'm looking for? or should I go with the AD Trad Light?  Or the AD Trad?

Try a 50 grain brass insert.

The AD inserts only come in 100 grain weights. I've already tried a 175 grain point on the regular Hammerheads and they're still too stiff.  They also weigh 675, which is heavier than I want with that bow.
