BE has more of a varied selection from thin to slim to fat and all between, plus a good selection of spines. I shot a BE Ramgage through a dryer, that's 4 layers of steel and still shoot the arrow.
You need to clean the inside of the shafts well with acetone and prep with a brass rifle brush first. I like to put the brush at the end of a drill. Then use the 24 hr epoxy that Easton sells for the HITs. If you do that, they will not move. I have very high KE and not had any issues with...
Yes, your best bet is to use the above mentioned shafts. You will have a tough time getting a high FOC with the FMJ DG as they are over 17 GPI. The GT Kinetics in 200 spine are a very tough shaft. I used them and also use Black Eagle Rampage in 250 spine.
One bow will shoot a 250 spine BE Rampage tipped with a Firenock stainless steel Aeroinsert and Exodus 125 grain. Nock will be Firenock A nock and Flex Fletch Flash vanes.
The other, a BE Carnivore with Firenock insert and the new Firenock BH. Firenock S nock and FF Flash vanes.
I had good success with them. They are improved with an all steel version in 125 grain. I need steel due to my high KE. I killed 3 deer with the GD and all were done after the shot, but might have been due to rocks in the ground after pass throughs except one hit a large bone. The other 5 deer I...
The best jig out there is the Firenock jig. But it is not cheap. It is a work of art though. Will cost between $350 and $800 depending on the attachments. Just in case anyone wants the Rolls Royce of fletching jigs. :)
I have owned a couple of NB bows, but never a Hoyt. Personally, I can't stand their riser designs with that bar, but that's just me. What's great about NB is that you can speak to Kyle directly and he will make it right. The NB are binaries, which means they will tend to have a little more...
I have yet to find a bow that gives you an additional 10 FPS for each inch of DL above 31". With the LD bows (32" and above) designers have to change the design of either the cam or mod some in order to keep the draw cycle relatively smooth or they would not be as smooth as their lower DL bows...
They make it in a 32" version. Heck, I have one that draws 33.5", but that was a custom with longer limbs. It is my favorite bow. I could hold that bow back all day.
That's good to hear. Gary always told me that he would never produce one. Guess the new owners have seen the potential since it appears that the Deep Six concept has caught on some.
Don't do the longer Dloop. Get a bow that fits. There are enough good bows that draw to 32" or more. I have a 33.5" DL and have owned just about every LD bow out there except Hoyt. I kept the New Breed Eclipse. NB Cyborg is also nice for a binary. Also check out the PSE Freak with DC cams. Stay...
Being a BH junky, I agree with that assessment. You may also want to add the Exodus and VPA. I have had great performance from both, though use the Exodus and ST mostly now.
Curious on what they are changing on the nock? I would assume that their G nock would still fit? Though for the first time ever, I did have some issues with their G nock. The throat kept opening after some shooting and then become loose on the string which never happened before. I also read that...
