I don't have a chrono

20 pin didn't move
30 didn't move, but shoots about an inch low
40 I had to drop a bit
50 dropped quite a bit
60 is right on the bubble

This is what happens when you see 300 FMJ 5mm in the clearance bin, but didn't realize it's 15.5 gpi! 

Dangerous game arrows, my normal ones are 11 gpi


I might need 90lb limbs  :chuckle:

That arrow, if it shoots well, will be a killing machine!!  I would take a heavy arrow over a light one any day of the week.  It will be a bone crusher.....with the right broadhead, there isn't an animal that stands a chance against that set up.   :tup:

Kudu 125 single bevel, with bleeder

I couldn't find left bevel for these inserts, so I pulled off my left helical fletching and glued on right helical vanes

Those arrows definitely have some pop behind them.
Missed a cow elk couple years ago took me an hour to dig the arrow and broadhead out of a tamarack.... :chuckle:. Sucker went like 6-8" deep...

I know that sound it makes very well, followed by the crashing sound brush makes when something large is moving very fast :'(
