FMJ 340, 2" blazer vanes and 100grain NAP Thunderheads.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Easton A/C/C Pro Hunter, 3 blazer vanes and tipped with a 125gr RadSav head.

Or as I like to call it the "no one stocks this in WA" arrow.
  This is a true statement :chuckle:

Ain't that the crazy truth!  One of the best Washington legal arrows and harder than heck to find in this state.  I loaded up on them last year.  Think I got a break at 10 dozen.  Pain only lasted a few weeks :chuckle:

My favorite setup right now is a Maxima 350 w/three AAE Max-Hunter vanes, Beman 23 grain ViBrake inserts and a 100 grain point.  Can use this on my 70# 335fps and slower bows when hunting out of state.  Can also use it out of my 64# Experience in this state.

Second favorite is the ACC Pro Hunter 390 that I shoot out of the Bear Dark Horse at 64#.  This is my blind hunting bow.  I shoot 100 grain points out of it with AAE MaxHunter vanes as well.  I have a camo version too, but haven't killed much with it in the past few years.

My favorite Washington legal setup is one that bounces back and forth depending on my mood the morning of the hunt.  I am equally fond of the ACC Pro Hunter in 340 and the stack of Carbon Express KV Hunters I bought before they discontinued that shaft.  I have two bows set and ready to go with each shaft (so four total).  I shoot the KV Hunters with Blazer vanes, Easton Micro Nocks, 38 grain brass inserts and 100 grain points.  I shoot the ACC PH340's with AAE MaxHunter vanes and 125 grain points.

All arrows are fletched full helical, all use Blazer wraps, 27.5" in length and have an FOC between 12 and 13%.
He asked, Do you ever give a short simple answer?  I replied, "Nope."

Any truth to the discontinued rumor Rad?  My paranoia got the best of me so I ordered 5 dozen a few days ago.  If its true I will morgage the house and get some more.

I really have no idea. 

This past ATA I was dang near glued to the booth.  Got away once and made a straight line to talk with Steve Sims and then straight back.  Only shot two arrows this year :o  I tried to get D-Rock and MLBowhunting to preview and shoot some bows for me.  But beyond that I just didn't get much additional information this year.  And of course Easton is still the same arrogant "If you don't have a tv show we aren't interested in speaking with you" attitude they have been the past ten years.  So I now have only one single friend related to Easton for information.  I will see him at the NABA show in mid February.  If you haven't got an answer by then I will find out from Gary at that show.  If they are going away I will probably buy at least another gross before they are gone.

Hope!  What kind of positive mojo is that?  Hope is for fools and lovers. :chuckle:

maxima hunter 350s with 100g shuttle T's, three 2 inch blazer vanes. Always passthroughs with this set-up so far. Mostly surprised on my bear this last year at 30 yards passthrough then deflecting off the ground and traveling another 30 yards suspended in a bush.
