Hi

Tfox is correct that most of the 3D archers are using carbon shaft arrows and they are fat! I assumed you knew that! These fat arrows make up for a fair amount of error! I have seen the difference in the range of 15 to 25 points across a course. Remember in most 3D shoots if the arrow breaks the line it is the next highest score. It is fairly simple a fat shaft arrow just covers more area than the normal shaft arrow so that 8 becomes a 10 because the fat shaft broke the 10 line. You need to check the rules of the course as there is a diameter limitation that was adopted last year to keep the archers from using telephone poles as arrows!!! Hmmm!

Yep that indoor spot shooting is a little different! I amazed me when I watched a shoot that the archers could shoot so many arrows that quickly! I was taken back on the first shoot I saw with the longer bows and the small diameter NANO arrows they were using! Sorry all I could think of was how that setup would be in a Tree Stand!

Ok I guess I am just a hunter at heart!

By the way niehenke congrads, on the 299 out of 300, sounds good to me!
