Thanks for the info MDM. I was shooting 400 spine arrows with a 75 grain point for my 3D setup but tend to prefer the heavier and stiffer 340 spine arrows with a 100 grain point for hunting. At the moment I think the Old Glory is going to be my 3D bow but I could seriously see me wanting to take it out for hunting as well. I tend to prefer the shorter bows in that regard but the Old Glory is now down under 37 inches so I may have to just give it a go.
Good shooting and let us know how the heavier draw weight turns out.
For our set-up hunting with the 340 spinecouldn't be any more perfect. I can't wait to getthe 340 spine arrowson order. I'm trying to decide between the 8.9 gpi GT XT Hunters or the 9.5 gpi on the Easton ST Axis both in 340 spine. What one would you choose and why?
I just heard yesterday that the ST Axis arrows have a tendency to split at the tip after several practice sessions; since the insert tip is all inside the shaft and doesn't role over the edge to distribute the load on impact. May be just a rumor???
I hunt on the ground only, so clearance isn't a problem with this longer ATA bow. I can't wait until you get yours, so we can compare notes. Feel free to email meafter you get it dialed in. I just shot it again last night and Ican't believe how forgiving this bow really is. I have an adjustable releasewhere the trigger pull is set very low. Mix that with a forgiving bow such as the Old Gloryand Ibelieve it is making me look like a better shot than I really am. Couple more weeks and I'm going to 65 pounds. Letme know when you get your bow.BTW...what rest are yougoing to install?
