I will get those specs for you tonight on the arrows but darn it I forgot to send some with the bow. Sorry about that. I also have to say that the reason one is higher than the other is because I did as you did and tried to hit higher with the first shot nock and arrrow and fire again quickly and aimed lower on the second shot to keep the arrow in the water.
Does that make sense?

Does that make sense? Absolutely. I should have thought about that! ;D OH BOY...what an idiot I am ;D Well then, we are looking at arrow weight overall if you have it and if you have a caliper....that would be helpful as well  Do you have a supply of stingers? Are those ones you used the ones that I snapped the bleeders off or did they have bleeders?. The stingers were what I was going to suggest w/o the exposed portions of the bleeders. Easy fix with a dremel |

Easy fix with a dremel I think I only have 3 or 4 of the 85 grain stingers and the bleader blades are on. The shots I took are with the bleaders. so I would have to say no I don't have a huge amount of the stingers. I will get the weight as soon as I can find a grain scale. Maybe I should order one. |

  I need to appologize. The two shafts I used were not both Easton Epic shafts only one was the ST shaft. I was wrong.  There are both Easton shafts but one was the Easton Epic 500 at 7.0 grains per inch.  The second shaft was the Easton Excel ST 500 at 7.3 grains per inch.  I got my new shafts that BT recomended to get speed. There are the Speed Pro Max at 5.5 grains per inch. They say on the shaft that they are rated from 35 - 75 lbs. That is quite a range.  Eastern is going to let me use his Grain scale and calipers to measure all my shafts. Oh yea the length of the shafts from the back side of the inset to the were the shaft meets the nock is 25.5".

Isn't that interesting. If you look at the picture of looking down into the pail you will also notice that the exit side of the almost pass through has a section of the pail punched out not cut out. Not sure why but it is definialtly missing.

How cold was it?...the bucket and water that is  If it was really cold, the plastic would become brittle and would allow you to blow out the bucket. I never thought about this to be honest but I did fill my buckets with warm water before doing my demo. |
