Elk arrows are shooting incredibly well!
« on: August 23, 2012, 08:19:00 PM »
My set up is a GT 5575 with three 5" RW shield cut feathers, 100 gr of GT weight behind shaft insert, Zwickey delta(KME sharpened) with steel insert. Total weight is 645 according to my scale. Out of my 56lb@28" Widow PAII they are flying like elk seeking missiles! LOL

Now if I can just do my part to get one where it needs to go.  :pray:
