Oh yeah Jerry, I saw it all on the weather this morning. You all are going to get hit hard!
I've actually got the 500 spine Banshees, and I have 1 Sitka that I am going to test.
I can already tell that the finished weight is a whole lot better for my set up with the Sitkas.
The Banshees weigh in at 636gr. @28.750"
The Sitkas weigh in at 486gr. @28.5" and that's a whole lot closer to what I need for my #48 Bear Grizzly. Problem is that I only have one Sitka and those will probably be what flies the best with my luck. :rolleyes:
I'll see how it goes? I'm lucky that I have one of each so if the Sitkas are good shooters then I could always save up for a half dozen, or sell the Banshees and get some more Sitkas.
If they both fly well, I could save the Banshees for hunting moose, Bear, Hogs, Elephant, Hippo, or Water Buffalo on my next trip to Tanzania....LOL
Lots of possibilities here.....I just hope and pray I can get them tuned, then I'll keep them all.
I am having a bit of difficulty determining the heavy spine side of the shaft. I have watched the video on rolling it across my hand while flexing the shaft.....not 100% sure I'm feeling it?
Then by rolling it across a flat surface and watch what side it stops on......not 100% sure on that either?
What else is there to determine for 100% certainty which is the stiff side?
Luckily all my natural turkey fletchings are the same with no obvious cock feather, and the nocks are tunable......so I can turn them any direction that makes the fly the best.
Thanks for the replies, I appreciate it.
I'll keep you all tuned in as the saga develops.
