Default RE: Too Stiff a spine theory exploration

Jeff, I saw that in your first post. The link on Lancaster said terminator select, if I get some I'll double check that they are indeed selects.

Just for fun, I bought a heavy terminator at Walmart. One of the .006" straight ones, but I was curious to see how it left the bow. It was only $5 or so...

At ten yards (max I can shoot inside where my bow was, no time yet to do more testing), it hit's about an 1" lower than my 350 grain GT 5575. Really didn't notice a big difference in the quietness of my bow when shooting it, and not much difference in reduced shock either. I was expecting more noticeable effects from shooting a heavier arrow.

No way to test penetration, plus I was just shooting field tips, but the lighter faster arrow seems to hit the target with much more authority. Not sure what that translates into in the real world, but for this season I feel confident sticking with the set up I've got.

I love saving money
