<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote<font size=1 face='Verdana, Arial, Helvetica' id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote> but it's obvious you put your own knowledge on a higher plain than everyone else here despite the fact that you know nothing of their background. <hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote></font id=quote><font face='Verdana, Arial, Helvetica' size=2 id=quote>

I am not trying to sound egotistical but I do feel like I know more than most of the guys that post in here. The background comes from reading their posts of the last couple of years. There are several guys in here that when they talk I listen, whether I agree with them or not I respect what they have to say. Then you have some that have a fair amount of knowledge but not really enough to add anything to the conversation yet they jump on the bandwagon and add their 1/2 cents. Then you have guys that know plenty but they don't offer advice(because half of the time the guy you're giving advice too thinks he knows more than you anyway) they just read and keep their mouth shut until someone starts to profuse such haneous BS that they simply can't take it anymore. I mean half the posts I know what the response is going to be by the same group of individuals before I ever read it, every post everytime it is posted. I mean if those guys are trying to build up their number of posts that is one thing but please quit beating the &quot;you can shoot a judo point through a Sherman Tank if your bow is tuned properly&quot; crap to death and the &quot;you can't shoot the world's sharpest broahead through a sheet of paper crap unless your bow is tuned&quot;.

While we're at it will someone defined &quot;tuned&quot;. There are Olypmic Archers shooting bows that are &quot;tuned&quot; to get the best groups possible. But they are getting one inch tears when you shoot through paper. Well if you are getting one inch tears you may be getting the best groups but you sure aren't getting the best penetration. So by tuned everyone must mean Paper Tuned because I know of no better indication of fish tailing or eratic flight(the keys to penetration). I know of ways to &quot;tweak&quot; groups but no better way of indicating flaws in arrow flight(the paper don't lie). So for my hunting equpment &quot;tuned&quot; means paper tuned and then tuning my arrows and adjusting my sights accordingly. Not tinkering with my rest until my braodheads hit wher my field point do. I don't shoot at deer with field points if they both hit where they are supposed to then that is fine, if they don't then that is fine too, as long as I know my arrows are flying straight and transferring their KE in a straight line through the animal. As opposed to an arrow that is in the middle of a fish tail on impact that hits and turns it's KE into momentum that is transferred into a different direction. That's just what I believe after all of my years of trying and reading and listening. You know what they say confidence is the key<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
