SCOTTY!!!!!!!!!  Now the secret is out!

Gotta go online and buy a bunch...that Shawnee really likes em'

And I agree with Shawn and Scott...I can take an Axis 500 with a 125 or 250 pnt and group them together...hell, I can take a 500 and a 400 and do the same...at short ranges, of course...inside 20.

JC,

I did, but the strike plate and rest on my longbow are one piece....and extends below the grip leather.  It was a heck of a lot easier to drop point weight and add a weight tube than strip the leather and start over.

I would up with a 550 grain arrow for a 56# bow, which suits me just fine. Just wasn't what I expected is all.

One of these days I will figure out what it is about my form that requires so much spine.  I'm always a good 15-20 pounds over what most folks use.  Hard to argue with bareshafting results, though.

I shoot a 53# longbow and recurve with a 29" goltip and 225grs up front and they fly well out of my 49# recurve as well, oh yeah they are darts out of my adcock 48# also.

The arrow I found that shoots best out of many bows is the beeman black max 29" with a 100gr insert and 125-150gr head, bows from 45-60#

Dale, I was itching to try the black max...what's the shaft size you're using...400 or 500?  thanks!

He's likely using the 500's...I've had similar results and shoot the 500's out of a bunch of bows...same as the Axis

Axis/Beman Black Max...excellent shafts.
