Default Really no good forum, Kudos Rick James (Matt)

Matt spec'd out some fat shafts for me through some software and I ordered them Tuesday night, received them today, cut them, fletched them, glued in the points and took a shot.

Here's what he spec'd for me.

Carbon Express CXL - SS 250's

Carbon Express CXL Adjustable weight glue in points (go from 60 grains adjustable up to 135)

And 2" fletch but I went with Blazers.

Here's what he says they will come in at:

OnTarget2 is saying that at 62lbs, 28.5" draw, 27" shaft length, 90 grains in the front of the shaft, your complete arrow will weigh in at 314 grains, and you should realistically see about 314fps with the peep, loop, etc......all added into the mix. Not too shabby for 28.5.
What they actually came in at was, (I cut them at) 27" shafts, 85 grain tips with Blazers, they weighed in at exactly 314 grains!

What he didn't take into consideration is the 82nd's speed. The actual fps this combo 62lbs, 28.5" draw and 314 grain arrow is 330 fps!


I want to thank Rick James for taking the time to help me out with my arrow choice for 3D.

I qualified at Harrisburg with my ACC's, 346 grains at 320 fps. I'm going to go ahead and shoot the finals with my ACC's this weekend but will be switching over to the CX's after Saturday.

Thank Matt. Kudos my friend. !
