Logically necessary purchase
« on: April 20, 2012, 08:44:00 PM »
I went to Rocky Mountain Specialty Gear today to try out some heavy arrows for a friend.

It was a mistake. I walked out with an ACS CX, 52#@28", 64" long, 7-1/8 Brace height.

I had to do it, since I had a dozen bare shafts that  I could tune to fit it. Logical, right?  :)

The shafts are Axis ST 300s. With a 2.5" 2016 footer, bare shafts cut to 30.5", I get a back of broadhead length of 30.25".  With the Dauntless 265 grain heads, 100 grain threerivers brass inserts and a 1/2" setscrew to complete the adapter they weigh in at 750 grains exactly.

The arrows fly like lasers with 3 2-1/8 shield cut fletches.  

Now all I have to do is learn to shoot it.

Makes perfect sense to me. I just bough back a recurve that I had traded off. My wife says "how many bows can you shoot at one time?" Told her I wasn't actually sure, but when I reached my limit, I'd let her know!!! Enjoy the new bow. Mike

Eminently practical.
I envy you the uncluttered clarity of your mind.

And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend.

I got out of RMSG today for less than $50; I think that is a new record for me! They sure have lots of nice bows, though.

I know how you feel, I have it bad as well. And the worse thing is, I am not sure there is a cure.

Thank you all for your support.

It crossed my mind that the world might not agree - glad to see I was mistaken!  :)

One of the greatest crimes against humanity is a set of arrows with no bow to launch them from.  Way to work yourself out of a jam.    :archer:

I wish I could think of something witty to say here, but I can't.

Learning to shoot this bow is a humbling experience!   :archer2:
