bruce,

You may need a faster bow. lol j/k This is why I prefer a heavier DW. Your arrow would be almost 260 fps out of my Ally and I can make a 23% FOC arrow that weighs 553 that would be over 270 FPS. I think the great thing about archery is you have so many options and choices and can fiddle with so many set-ups.Good luck this season.

By the way, I'm sure you've seen that the first day is on a Monday for some wacky reason?[:@]
That is at 70# and that is a bit much for the spine LOL. When I put the new string and cables on it will probably tune at around 63-65#'s. I should get a screamin' 200fps by then LMAO. Once I get it set up I am going to put one arrow through a 2x4 just to see what the BH does to it. I had an arrow similar to this one, 533gr 19%FOC, go through my bag target, through the bale of straw and splinter a 2x4. Granted, that was probably a weak spot in the target but that is just an example of why I love these heavy arrows even though they fly a bit slower than some others . I limit my hunting range to 25yds and in so speed and trajectory aren't much of an issue.

I don't care when the first day of the season is, just as long as it gets here

Good luck this season to you too.
