Default RE: I'mmmmmmm Baaaaaaaaacccckkkkk

Thanks folks. I shot it a bit last night-close up- 10 yards. I put about 25 or 30 arrows through it. It put the arrow where I put the pin- too bad the pin wasn't always in the right place (I guess nothing has changed in the past few years, that's a good sign, right? )

I'm heading up to the shop again tomorrow morning to put some arrows through it and get it sighted in at 20 yards. I'm DYING to put it through the chrono even though I'm not concerned about the speed- I know the thing is smoking fast.

Anyone wanna take a guess? spec card says it should shoot between 314 and 324 FPS at 62.4 pounds with a 300 grain arrow at 28.5" . I've got that G5 peep and a loop on the string (the brass nock comes off tomorrow), and my ICS's are around 380 grains. I'm gonna guess around 285-290 FPS.

The Adirondacks are great. Beautiful area- though since I've moved up to New England I'd have to say Maine is probably my fave place. You've got the wonderful & unique ocean/coast and then the totally remote wilds. Very cool!
