My FOBs arrived today. At first look, I could not believe that these LITTLE
things could make it any better.
I came home from the office, grabbed one of my brand new Vapor 4000 arrows,
and was hesitant to take off the fletching, but carefully removed the
fletching anyway. Put it on the bow, slid the tester back and forth with no
contact and lots of clearance, so I went ahead and put on the Blaze FOB.
Double checked clearance again. I am using the standard launcher on my QAD,
and since I cannot remember where I put the TL1 to keep it safe, thought I
would give it a go with the standard.
First shot was at 10 yards into my black hole target. Drew back and
anchored, (no problems here) and let fly. Right through the center.
Retrieved the arrow and went for the 20 yard bag target. Drew back,
settled, and let fly, SMACK, dead center again. Okay, still a fluke. Some
days are like this for a couple arrows.
Fired a few more at the 20 yard mark, all in the bullseye.
Now, I am a pretty new shooter, and the maximum yardage I have in my back
yard is 30 yards on the button. So, I only have my pins sighted for 20 and
30. I practice at 30, on occasion, but not as much as I should. I can
never seem to keep it in the bullseye at the 30!
So here I am, 30 yards. Let fly the first one, WHACK, bullseye in the
black. HMMMMM, maybe there is something to these goofy looking things.
Get the arrow and back to the 30 yard line. Same story, same results.
After a few more arrows, I came in to strip the rest of
my arrows for the FOBs!!
I am a fan and a believer now, and I have not even fired my broadheads yet!
