Default RE: I guess I'm going to do it

more playing today ......

I cut my ICS 400's down to 27 3/4 inches (I epoxyed the inserts in) and put in the 100 gr brass inserts, using weight tubes, and shooting practice 125 grain 3 blade Thunderheads and 110 grain 2 blade 5/16" ferrule Zwickey Eskimoes with 30 grain aluminum inserts .... I imagine I was 680 grains total weight with the Thunderheads, close to 700 grains with the Zwickey's

those brass inserts stick out maybe 1/8 to a 1/4" outside the shaft - so cutting that much off my shafts I regained when I glues those new brass inserts in - no big deal there.

0-15 yards not a noticable difference in my shooting accuracy. A bit quieter, but those arrows hit with authority, a solid THUMP on impacts. 15 yards and beyond I could tell the arrows dropped more than when I didn't have the extra 100 grains up front.

Great arrow flight, something about the bigger Steel Force glue on's I had didn't jive with my arrows .... they were a bit flighty and not as pretty perfect arrow flight as what these are.

Tonight I am sharpening Zwickey's - see if I can get the ultra razor sharp.
