I’m finally giving in...
I am tired of a lack of penetration, I’m tired of chasing speed, and I’m tired of being afraid of a deer’s shoulder. I’m going to sprinkle a little Ranch Fairy dust on my setup. If you don’t know who he is, just search YouTube. He is a character, but presents a TON of information.
I backed my bow down to 60lbs a few years ago after recovering from a torn shoulder, but feel its time to go back to 70lbs and up the FOC and grain weight, as well as transition to single bevel broadheads.
I want to end up somewhere around 600gr-650gr total arrow weight with 20%+ FOC.
I know I need to test out several different tip weights on a couple different shaft spines. Would a couple (each) 300 spine and 250 spine arrows work for that? I’m thinking of doing 100gr inserts in them (bare shaft) and paper tuning through Ethics Archery field point test pack to find the best match. (The test pack has 2/ea 200gr, 225gr, 250gr, 275gr, 300gr)
My ultimate goal is to be confident to take the kill zone shot, regardless of animal angle.
Has anyone else gone through this process to find the best spine to tip weight?
Any suggestions beyond what I’ve already thought through?
