Well, the season is here and as usual I’m tinkering to the very last moment.
I had planned on using Speed Pro 5.5 gr arrows with 100 gr Bunker Busters at 352 fps. Initially thing looked great. I had set up three arrows a while back and they flew right with my field points. After I set up the rest of the arrows I ran into problems. Five grouped together in one place and the others just meandered all over the target.
Those wandering arrows had a little flip and kick to them. So I dropped the draw weight down to 60lbs and every thing was beautiful. Definitely a spine problem. However, I did not buy a hot rod just idle round in.
So back up to 70lbs and I switched to the 6.2gr Speed Pros. Gorgeous arrow flight, and even though they are a little heavier they hit just a little higher and to the right. A couple of gang adjustments was all it took and joy and happiness reigned again.
Looks like I’ll be hunting in the rain tomorrow. Oh well… at least I’ll be hunting.
