3555 200 up front on Kodiak Hunter?
« on: July 30, 2014, 08:58:00 PM »
My Kodiak Hunter is 47 at my 29" draw. Shoots 30" God Tip 3555 with a 50 grain insert and 145 grain point like darts. Seems weak to me but works well. Any reason why? Thoughts?

No problem if it shoots. I shoot 3555 with 225 up front out of my 56# great northern.

I'm not sure why you're surprised. I'm shooting the same thing, but with 125 gr points out of my 46 - 47# bows and they bare-shaft perfectly. If I shoot a group of 5 arrows with 2 of them bare shafts, the slicks will probably be somewhere near the center of the group. For hunting, I take out the 50 gr weights and substitute a 160 or 175 gr BH. Works great.

At your draw that sounds just about right.

I've been doing a lot of bare shaft tuning lately with my Damon Howatt Coronado 50@28 and I draw about 27" All bare shaft shots are shot at 20 yrds no paper tuning.

My 3555 are cut to 28.5 I have 100gr brass insert and it took a 200gr field point, but they fly like darts now.

My 5575 are cut to 31" also have 100gr brass insert and they also took a 200gr field point, but they to fly like darts.

Bare shafts don't lie and they can really reveal a lot about your setup    :thumbsup:

I'm shooting 29" 3555's with 225 grains on the nose of mine.  Shoot them out of my blackwidow 51#'s @ 28" and my draw is only 27-27 1/2" so I figure I'm in the 47-48# range and the fly great!!!
Too many bows to list, and so many more I want to try!  Keep the wind in your face, and your broadheads sharp.
