You already have more than enough horsepower to blow through a cape buffalo, so dial it down to where it'll just blow through a polar bear.

HEY NOW! Watch it with the shooting polar bear talk! :chuckle:

Thanks for the help, i'll probably just turn it down to 65#. I was showing my buddy this topic and he was wondering if you could check his out too. 2007 elite synergy , 28 1/2 draw with smooth modules, set at70# with gold tip XT hunter 5575 cut 29 1/2 and 100grain tips.

For your buddy: shows 5.5 gr/lb, so a bit under legal for hunting (but this is only for target, right?). 307 fps, 385 gr arrow, 12.26% FOC, 81 ft-lbs KE, 20-50 drop of 23.5", KE @ 50: 68.5 ft-lbs. Recommended spine is .301", so his .400" 5575's are way underspined :bdid: . Cutting them to 27" doesn't even come close (rec. spine of .328" with 70#), and a 27" arrow and 60# draw still needs .367" spine. Best recommendation is to go to 7595's (.340" spine) cut at 28.5" and 65# draw with the 100 grain heads. That'd be 294 fps, 6.28 gr/lb (now legal), 408 grain arrow, 10.2% FOC, 78.4 ft-lbs KE, 20-50 drop of 26.4", KE @ 50: 66.4 ft-lbs. Or he could cut the 7595's at 28" and use 125 grain heads to get to 12.6% FOC and a better flying arrow. :twocents:

No doubt! I've bought the last several sets of arrows on classifieds just because of the price problem. I did pay full price for my target arrows, though. You've got to pay to play that game!

Hey Todd,
My buddy is trying to get setup.... see if you have data for this outfit.
Its a Martin Magnum Panther (Maybe 10 yrs old???) set at 65# and 29". He's shooting a whisker biscuit... He is trying to shoot 7595's with a 250 grain point weight (175 grain Snuffers with 75 grain steel adaptors)... will these shafts work? Cut to what length?
Thanks, let me know if you need more info.
