I assume you're referring to broadheads. I'm stopping everything with a simple bag target running 8 to 10 GPP with 27-29" draw. I was stopping two and three blade broadheads at 10m with a Morrell Yellow Jacket target. I use the rinehart 18-1 now for everything.

The biggest thing I have noticed with the 100's versus the 70# bow is that they don't like to be left alone. Your draw length will suffer with as little as a week away from shooting. Best of luck to you with your new bow.

Forrest,

Indeed i am referring to testing broadhead penetration!

What you say about taking time off makes a lot of sense. I got a case of gastro, hurt my back and tore a callus off my string hand ring finger (working) in the same week, so i had a few days off all shooting, which i never do. Its taken me a week of shoot to get back to my middle weight bow, and my form and accuracy feel like they went backwards by a measure still. I will shoot my 100# every day Im able to.

cheers

Speaking of legal, surely it can't have been okay for him to shoot a rhino...

Thanks for the update Marty.

Was actually finding much pleasure in tapping in on the uniquely remarkable chimera… the substance of dreams in and of themselves may bring much gratifying pleasure and realistic actualization.

Perhaps the path to fruition lies just beyond the horizon or w/i the obscurity of the shadow of the moon.
