Never mind!....I found it

Like I said....I thought it was like 8" but I doubled your inside line to equal the center mass of the bulls eye , making it 14" rather than 9.6

That goes to show what absolute faith I have in you Michi ! .... I just excepted it as fact since it was coming from you....even when it wasn't!

;D

BT- Those FACTS are staright from FITA. If my figures are wrong, you might want to notify them!! ;D ;D

They were shocked when I called

Allright, spent the whole day out there shooting, and these are the results. Taking Ted's advice I spun my shooting lane away from the arrow eating forrest to the arrow eating field/swamp/forrest.
This is the new view:


And zoomed in to see what's what:



Okay, here's 90 yds. Had some a little better, some worse, but this is a good average group.



Here's a pic of the angle of impact at 90 yds.



Here's 100 yds. Point of aim was at the top target which had an x in the center but fell off due to the cold. Notice how far the drop is:



Here's a pic of the angle at 100. Is it me or does it seem less than the 90yd. angle?



I couldn't expect to put a broadhead out to 100 yds. after these results, so I opted for 90 since I wasn't doing that bad at that range (for me).

The Magnus 100gr. 4 blade was first:


Notice how low it hit.

Next was the 100gr. Turbo:



Still low, but tracked better left to right (close enough to be me)

And then the 100gr. Montec



All three were almost identical hits, way low. We know the bows in tune, as BT is the one who tuned it. So I would say that the 100yd. shot is not acceptable. Notice how much the drop increases in just 10 yds (from 90 to 100). This was why I couldn't find arrows yesterday, they were hitting low and bouncing.

Last note: My 90 yd. pin was at the bottom of my sight, my sight was at the bottom of it's travel, very close to interfering with the odd vane of the arrow

I was aiming about two feet high at 100yds. and hitting about 5 feet lower than my point of aim. Even at 90yds. the broadheads were hitting way low (by about 2 feet). All in all I would have to say that the 100 yd. poke is the most unethical shot you could take on a live animal. If there is someone out there who can do it, they are Amazing. How many of us are amazing? Thought so.

This was done with a PSE Fire Flite @ 60# shooting 256fps. with a 360gr. arrow.

Oh, and I almost forgot, it got dark before I could try the 100 gr. 4 blade Muzzy!!! Wouldn't that have been a kicker ;D ;D ;D ;D

[BT]

I want to see that Muzzy!

Don't you cheat me!!



The Turbo does not surprise me as it was the only fixed blade in the '06 Summer Shoot Out which held a true line and impacted on the mark.

Of course I was only shooting 80yrds so that does have a bit to do with that

The heads should impact low as they turn into a downward angle and this is why I weighted my bolts for the distance shoot during that same shoot out.

Again....the Turbo was the only head (fixed which impacted the block although low.

[SPIKER]

How did you weight the bolts for the distance shoot?
Is there a way to correct the broadhead flight in relation to the field points out at those ranges?

[michihunter]

I'm impressed with your 100 yard grouping Spiker. That's some fine shooting regardless of drop. Shows a very consistent shot sequence and it looks like you have the abiliti8es to actually get VERY good.

sugar I believe was the medium or it might have been salt

And the proper response to that last post is:

Thanks, and don't call me Sugar!
