muzzy Phantom question

[Mint]

I used the SS phantom asa two blade on my recent hog hunt and got great penetration on a boar, through both shields. Next time I will use the bleeders with the same setup since I really like the big hole the head leaves as a 4 blade.

Also remember when using the Phantoms with the bleeder blade on the Axis/Beman HIT type arrows you need to use the SS washers as well to prevent bleeder blade setback in the shaft.  They are only about 2grs per washer.

I wouldn't mind a heavy arrow for elk, but I am new at this and haven't had the time to tinker much yet.  my arrow CE hert 250 has about a 16.5 FOC at 550grs and about 40 ft lbs energy according to stu millers calculator.  

To get up to a 650gr arrow I would need to do a combination of: getting a stiffer shaft, internal footing, and/or building up my side plate.


Since I have only been at this for less than a month I figure I shouldn't worry too much about this yet until I get my shooting form down.

That is right on: form is everything. Nothing is more important in all of this arrow/broadhead stuff than how you shoot your bow. There is NOTHING wrong with that set-up, those arrows, or what you shoot. I tried to do too much tweeking my first 6 months and after 3 years I THINK my form is finLLY better    Just shoot alot and get your form down. The rest of it will take care of itself. Look at Terry's form clock in PowWow. Your choice in broadheads is Aplus too! Good shooting!

WildWild, you are on the right path.  It makes no difference what arrow, string, broadhead, or brand of underwear - if you can't shoot the bow!  Keep your focus on what is important - you will go far.  H
