Free: Contests & Raffles.
I'll take what info you can give.Bow~ Martin, Magnum "Phantom" 2002 +/-Draw~ 29"Weight~ 55-70 set @ #63Arrow~ Gold Tip, Pro Hunter 5575 w/ standard nock/inserts & 5" arrow wrapVanes~ FOBBroadhead~ 100gr. 3 blade Slick Trick MagnumShoot a release w/ string loop & fall away rest. I'm shooting out to 70 yards.
Colockumelk: My recommendation is to use what you've got unless either you are having poor broadhead flight or love spending money. If flight issues are there, then maybe try turning your bow down one full turn on each limb bolt and see how that works; if it gets better but not great, then try another full turn. Going to 100 grain heads with the Epics you have would also help, but that means spending money and giving up weight. If you simply want to switch arrows and broadheads, then the ST Axis 340 and 100 grain heads looks pretty good, but it's about the same as what you've got just with a different head weight.Bottom line: your stuff now will go through elk no problem without spending money. Turning the bow dow to fix flight problems is free, and you don't lose very much in doing so.
Thank you for all of the help. I'll go with your recommendation and go down to 67#. I have one quick question. What is the range that I want my FOC to be?
You should probably write a book. Again thanks for the help.

Hey Todd i was wondering if you could run my set up again with 27" arrows? I need to know if i need 400 spine or 340. Thanks!My set up:2006 Martin Jaguar29 inch draw27 inch arrow60#I am currently shooting some cheap Satellite arrows so i don't know the spine or gpi, but i would like to know what spine i need when I buy new arrows. I will probably buy Beman ICS Bowhunters or Cabelas Stalker extremes ( not sure if you need this info or not).Thanks again, I appreciate it.
