Due to many of the great posts in this section I have made a new arrow for myself. The arrow is a Carbon Tech whitetail XP, the shaft is 30", total arrow length is 31.75". I currently have 3 blazer vanes. Last night I was shooting a 250gr tip for a total weight of 584gr and a FOC a little over 17%. When I shoot again I am going to use a 200gr tip and that will give me 534gr and a FOC of 16%. I got them grouping pretty good at 40 yards but I really liked that when it would smack into the target it was LOUD . I only made 3 out of the dozen but when I spun all 12 shafts they were fantastically straight. I am going to make some more the next couple of nights and I'll probably try some 4" vanes on some of them. I am thinking these will be some fun arrows to work with and eventually get setup for this fall. I want to use a 200gr broadhead but have not bought any that size yet.

I have learned a great deal from some of you here and hopefully I can put that knowledge to good use. This is MUCH more fun than firearms.
