robtattoo,
Thank you again. I appreciate the input. I'm still not fully understanding the HIT insert concept though. Do your broadheads / points still rest the shoulder up against the end of the carbon? If they do, doesn't that defeat the purpose of getting rid of the collar up top, as the tip is still resting against the arrow shaft end? I was thinking the same thing in regards to the CX's - going to lighter. I've heard people with heavier bows than mine saying the 150's are even fairly stiff too... so I may have to go lighter - they have the 90 size, but the spine may be too light at .530. 9.4gpi sounds decent though. Thanks again!
Voodoofire1,
Thanks for the reply. I'm hoping that my findings with the lighter spined shafts will mimic your findings with the heavier ones. Wish I could pull that kind of weight consistantly! Thanks again!
jeff / sc,
Thank you. Your response gave me a really good picture at what to expect from that setup. 300 grains up front is a bit more than I'm comfortable with. I'd probaly leave them much longer to help weaken the spine, as I seldom go heavier than about 200 / 220 up front to keep my FOC at decent numbers. I find anything heavier does a pretty bad nose dive at anything further than 15 yards out of my bows. Although that is close to my comfort zone, I've been practicing at 20 and 25 yards lately, and I'm kinda disappointed in the flight drop of my current arrows with heavy tips. I'll check it out though. My bow is rated for FF, but I prefer dacron - my bow seems to like it better too - no noticable loss in speed, but it quietened it down a bit more.
bayoulongbowman,
I've never experienced that with Gold Tip. Every dozen I've ordered and received have always had a little pack in the box with the exact amount of inserts / nocks that are needed to put a dozen together. I've shot GT's for several years - and it's all I normally carry in my quivers. But with this new bow, I'm looking for something different, as it just doesn't seem to like what I'm feeding it currently. I shot the older version of the Epics, before they made them the small shaft HIT type arrows. They were "ok", but then again, they werent' the newer offerings.
All the best,
Glenn
