    WTS Left handed Diamond Edge 320 complete bow setup

    Would this be suitable as a kids bow? My 10 year old son is left handed and wants to get into archery with me.

    Best mechanical broad head for big game?

    I've had good luck with the 1.75" Sevr heads, bought some of the 1.5" hybrids to try this year. Clean pass throughs on whitetails in Texas and a mule deer buck last year in Wyoming. Shot a 400lb boar hog right behind the shoulder at 43 yards quartering away, and it stuck in the opposite...

    Help an idiot

    By horizontal wobble I assume you mean horizontal drift trying to hold steady? If that's the case, I don't think anybody holds perfectly steady on the target. Its more timing your shot to break at the right spot. If you are referring to more of a rotation in your wrist at the grip it could be...

    Sight that holds zero

    For me when I notice a POI shift, it is usually my fault and not the sight. Changes in how I grip the bow, torque in my wrist, etc. If I consistently hit off, lets say low left, I just walk away and come back the next day and try again. If I repeat the same low left POI then I start looking at...

    Still looking for this sight. Standard X-mount is ok. May even consider a 4 pin version.

    Would You Sacrifice Speed for a Slight Bump in Kinetic Energy?

    Do you prefer the HIT inserts on the Easton's or the Shok TL204 inserts on the Victory's? Or should we be looking at something else?

    Would You Sacrifice Speed for a Slight Bump in Kinetic Energy?

    @Mighty Mouse @Billy Goat I guess the better question, looking at momentum now, is which arrow setup would you lean toward assuming both are equally accurate? Also would the RIP benefit from a 125gr head up from bumping the arrow weight up to 447? I will need to chrono this configuration though...

    Would You Sacrifice Speed for a Slight Bump in Kinetic Energy?

    Using the calculator at N1 Outdoors, it looks like the RIP at 271fps and 422gr should give me about 0.507 slugs of momentum while the Axis at 258fps and 476gr would give me 0.545 slugs of momentum. I'm not sure what the scale is on momentum and if this is a significant difference?

    Would You Sacrifice Speed for a Slight Bump in Kinetic Energy?

    I will chrono and weigh them again out of curiosity.

    Would You Sacrifice Speed for a Slight Bump in Kinetic Energy?

    Like I said originally, I don't really focus on FOC or KE for that matter. I look at properly spined, accuracy, and speed. If I can get a fast moving arrow with 150-175gr up front to hit where I want, I feel good about that setup! My buddy on the other hand has been hung up on KE and maximizing...

    Would You Sacrifice Speed for a Slight Bump in Kinetic Energy?

    Thank you for the detailed explanation, I like diving into the science and math behind things like this. Even if it is an irrelevant factor I still like understanding the dynamic characteristics of arrow and flight!

    Would You Sacrifice Speed for a Slight Bump in Kinetic Energy?

    Speeds on the Labradar were within +/- 1fps of my measured vales at home with the Garmin. Weights were measured on my RCBS charge master supreme after the 15 minute warm up and calibration. Are you saying for every 3gr of weight it changes 1fps?

    Would You Sacrifice Speed for a Slight Bump in Kinetic Energy?

    Initially using a Labradar at my local bow shop and then confirmed them at home with a Garmin Xero C1. Shot each arrow 5 times and averaged the results. Why ditch the half-outs? I hear some people complain about them but I have had good success personally.

    Would You Sacrifice Speed for a Slight Bump in Kinetic Energy?

    Wouldn't KE drop with increased weight since speed would also drop? KE would only increase with heavier arrows if speed stayed the same, right? I tried one of the RIPs with a 125gr field point and got 263fps and 68.67lbs KE. Admittedly with either configuration and different point weights, KE...

    Would You Sacrifice Speed for a Slight Bump in Kinetic Energy?

    I was looking a different arrow results from a few configurations I fletched up for a buddy's bow as an experiment. I was a little surprised by the results as I would have thought the difference in KE would have been greater given a 54gr weight difference in the two arrow setups and only a 13fps...
