Default RE: Going to have a duel with bows/arrows.

I guess its going to be awhile. He was/is talking about buying a Bowtech Equalizer, 50-60 lbs. and says he is buying the Speed Pro Max shafts. Best I can tell with what information I have he will be right on the 5 grains per pound limit or thereabouts. He was bragging about how many fps he will be shooting at 60 lbs. I agreed he should be shooting a fast setup, faster than me. My current setup amounts to 6.54 grains per pound, thats shooting at 65 lbs. So I am right around 425 grains and he will be at about 300 grains. He will giving me 5 lbs. but I will be giving him 125 grains. My draw is about 2-2 1/2 inches longer, but he will have the Binary cams. Anyway....................he says absolutely without a doubt, he will have more penetration with his faster, lighter arrows. I have to prove him wrong[8D]. Won't be a very scientific test, but we agreed to use my bag target on field points and a new Morrell Yellow Jacket for broadheads and agreed to use the same broadheads. First he has to get the bow and get it tuned. I told him to take all the time he needs and lets do it right. Gonna be awhile, but I am licking my chops. Just hope I don't lick my wounds. To be continued later on.
