I just use a quality arrow, use quality components, add a 100gr head and 60-75gr insert and it ends up being what it ends up being. That means between 400 and 450gr for the 500-350spine, 26-27" arrows my family shoots.
My personal opinion is that a lot of people way overthink this but if...
Ended up doing something similar to Waspocrew. Added little strips of felt tape to the edges of the Pic rail to take up the gap. Found some flat head Allen screws so it looked factory.
What makes it worse is that hearing damage is cumulative. People sit here and rationalize these single shots. It doesn't matter if it's 20 shots in 10 minutes or 20 shots in 10 years. All the same for hearing damage.
And people that let their kids shoot with brakes? WTF. These guys are brain dead.
Hearing well feels better than being slightly skinnier every day of your life.
—someone with ringing in their ears right now at 43YO that will never allow their kids or wife to fire a rifle unsuppressed.
Neither. Dual big monitors. make sure your laptop can drive dual screens and buy two cheap 27" screens.
I run dual 35s for what I do for work and E-scout on that. Fricking amazing.
Gotta burn 100% of the powder man.
I find the reluctance to cut barrels hilarious. I have a 270 that I cut to 17.5" (oh the horror) that still makes 1800 FPS past 650 yards with the factory Berger 140 Hybrid Hunters. 2670FPS Muzzle Velocity. The section of barrel I cut off weighs almost the...
That sounds like something right out of the Dumb Money playbook. (Look it up. It's a compliment.)
Great arbitrage idea. I like it. Even better to sweeten the pot would be to go long puts a month out to capitalize on that drop.
Regarding the above, I can afford new flagship bows. But after the deal I got on my son's Phase4 I may never buy new again. WAAAAAY too many people buy new and then barely shoot them. Selling almost brand new bows for crazy deals. ArcheryTalk is full of good deals if you watch.
@BLJ are you a...
I moved my son from that Hammr to a used Phase4.
Maybe you could look for a used V3 or similar. You could use 55# mods and do a couple of turns out of the bolts. That would be a worlds better bow than any Mission.
I am becoming more and more in love with my S&B Klassik 3-12x42 every time I shoot with it. If that scope didn't have limited travel I would sell everything else and put it on all of my hunting rifles.
Duplicate that with more travel. If you can save a couple of ounces, cool. Sounds like that...
If you have not bought the Hammr yet I would look hard at some other bows if you are limiting yourself to 45#. One of my son's had one and I was not at all impressed. I bought my other son a Diamond Prism and it as a much better bow IMHO. Smoother, faster at the lower poundage, just a better bow...
Light. Short. Reported to be just as quiet as the TBAC 7.
Those three things were what I was looking for. It actually weighs right at the same as the same length of a normal shorter barrel as verified when I compared it to a cutoff section from one of my rifles. So zero change in the feel of...
Mine is cut to 17.75" from the crown to the interface of the action. 37" overall.
Here is my chart from the Shooter app for 3500ft and 50 degrees for factory 108 ELDM that is verified with hits to 600 yards.
If I change to 8000ft DA and 50F I get 1834FPS at 600 yards.
I built this for exactly...
