RE: Slowing your hunting arrow down?
I'm a bit puzzled on the lack of pass-throughs you are getting too. Rage or not, you are pushing good energy. I have always shot bows on the slower side, mostly because of my draw length. At 32" of draw, my arrows are inherently long, thus adding weight. Fine by me though! My current setup with my Commander is only going 268 on the chrono, but my 565 gr. arrow is getting 90#s of energy. I've never really conciously thought about the visual impact this has, as far as being able to see the arrow in flight, since I've always been able to see mine plodding toward the intended target. I think you will like the slower arrow in the hunting environment, and if you are only shooting to 30 yards, even better. The one advantage I see with my slower bow, is that my sight pins are farther apart, eliminating any pin confusion. I know this shouldn't happen, but when Mossy Horns Ghost Face is standing there, I don't need anything else to worry about!
Are you switching bows too do you think?
