Default RE: Silencing a speed bow.

367-369.5 grains. I always weigh all my arrows. I am considering using wraps and 5" feathers instead of 4" feathers to both give the arrow more weight and help stabilize it at longer distances.

I know that there is a lot more vibration in a super bow than smooth bow. They have a lot more KE and like you said, that energy has to go somewhere and unfortunately not all of it makes it to the arrow.[:@]

I've shot 370 out of a super-tuned x-force at IBO specs. I just thought that was way to much speed. Speed is cool to a certain point. I have to admit that those Barnsdale limbs are pretty impressive, but I still like the feel of my 82nd the best. My 82nd is right where I like it and that is why I bought it. I know speed, and I know what I like.

What I would like to see is a super-tuned HCA Speed Pro with a 3.5 gpp arrow. That would be impressive. Maybe 380???
