RE: If push came to shove

Strightarrow, I believe that your statement is correct 99% of the time. However, I would like to add that the broadhead needs to also be matched to the correct arrow (all components).

From my previous post:

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote> For instance, with carbon arrows, I could not get my magnus to fly right because of planning even with no wind. One of the problems, is that I have a 33" draw, and I won't use an overdraw. The only fixed blade broadhead that I could use with my carbons with any type of accuracy was a Muzzy 75 grain, which went against the theory that you have to have a high FOC when using fixed blades and carbons. <hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>

I have been told by other archers with this draw length that this is common for carbon arrows that are 33" long.

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>The best shaft that works for me is a XX78, 2613 cut to 33". I use a Stos (made by magnus) 145 grain two blade with a 42 grain adapter. My total arrow weight is 700 grains. I also shoot a Parker 70 pound 33" draw bow and get around 80 lbs KE with this setup. Another extremely important point is that I use FOUR 4.75" vanes helical vanes on my arrow. <hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>
