Bare Shaft Tuning....
« on: June 19, 2023, 08:15:21 PM »
I am loving my new Black Widow carbon limbs....tuning before I fletch, using Easton Axis Traditional 400's, 100 grain brass inserts, 250 grain points....the bow is only 50 pounds. These are flying great, this bare shaft shot was about 17 yards.
