I've SWITCHED! I talked to MountianDevil54 and he talked me into using lose Powder insted of the 150gr's (3) Pyrodox Pellets. I must say My Accuracy has increased out of My ACCURA's. Being a BIG guy, 6'6" and 240lbs I have always assumed the Bigger the Load the Better, well I hate to admit it but I was wrong! Using 110gr's of RS and a 240gr XTP with 777 Primers My groups have tightened up! And LESS RECOIL, no more black and blue armpit from the 150gr load.
I should have put 2 and 2 togeather as being a Charter Life Member of the IBO (International Bowhunting Organazation) and shooting bow in the Triple Crown. My Buddy owned a pro shop (BOW) and he was also a shooter in the IBO we used to think that shooting the heaviest Bow weight and arrow combination allowed by the IBO for it's shoots would give us an ADVANTAGE over the other shooters that could'nt handle this MAX WEIGHT ( 80lb Max Bow Weight X 5Gr. Per Pound for Arrow Weight) = a 80 Lb Bow (Pull-Weight) and a 400Gr. Arrow, total weight for (Arrow-Tip-Insert)
Boy were we wrong! Not only was it tough to hold on the targets with this 80lb Bow weight, our accuracy suffered a little as the shoot went on.
Well we finally realized that the guy's that were shooting say 60Lb Bow weight and a 300gr arrow-5gr per pound of Bow Weight were shooting just as FAST as we were with the 80lb Bow's! or the guy's with the 70Lb Bow's with 350Gr arrows.
So we dropped our Bow weight, lightened our arrow weight and we we still shooting just as fast but we did'nt suffer pulling back the 80lbs and our accuracy was better and our arms did'nt hurt after a shoot.
So Bigger is not always better! Your no less of a man if you dont shoot 150 gr's of Black Powder, I'll be the First and probably not the last to admit it, too bad it took me so long to let my accuracy overcome my EGO, and the Game will be just as dead with less powder, just as our arrows hit the 10 ring the same as they did with the heaiver Bow Weight.
