I think it's cool that we can use them, but not cool enough for me to change up all my gear. I'm finally well on my way to have it all dialed in...not going to go changing things now. Maybe if I need some new arrows some day, but I've got about 30 of them all the same now so I think they'll stay that way.
Same here. Adding 10 gr to my arrows doesn't seem like something I want to do, not to mention the $10 each.

Pass. Just another reason to take days away from us because "technology" has approved. The presentation on the issue at the meeting was very disheartening. Talk about slapped together.:yeah:

Ive always thought they would be fun for target shooting with friends though.

Do you think that 10 grains per arrow would make your grouping different?
It sure will. It will be more evident with broadheads.

On the other hand it would make it easier to find an arrow.
I do have this irrational fear that one day i will step on a broad head that wasn't recovered.

I can tell you that out to 65-67 yards my arrows with and without group the same. Its nice to have them as a option I think it may lead to more animals recovered. They have saved me there cost already just during practice because arrow going through my target and tall grass equals a near imposible to find arrow :twocents: Ive has passthroughs on animals and couldnt find the arrow which sucks.
I'd be surprized if they group the same with broadheads unless you opt for a heavier broadhead.

Easton has great videos on how to modify foc.
And you will probably have to use a bigger broadhead. Not a big deal unless you already have tons of money into sets.

Yeah I agree, bigger broadheads. I havent put much money into a full set yet so not a big deal for me.

Flame away! Isnt bow hunting suppose to be a more primitive way of hunting? Never bow hunted in my life but whats next a scope mount to?To me its close quarters hunting more intimate, without the loud explosions of gunfire to interupt nature. You can miss and half the time your target doesnt even know its being shot at. And they do have 4x magnification sites for bows, theyre just not legal in this state.
