Default Holy cow, look at this grouping from 30 yards!

Hey there... I just came rushing inside to upload a digital picture from that cheap Wal-Mart target thing that I have.

I was all the way out at 30 yards in my backyard. Level ground. Slight head wind blowing right inline with the arrow path.

I got out my "good arrows" and screwed on the test broadheads. (XX75 Camo Hunters - darn near fresh from the shop, untested, unfired, 100% brand new).
Test broadhead #1 - Magnus Stinger 125gr 4 blade.
Test broadhead #2 - Slick Trick 125gr.

First shot on reverse side of cheap Wal-Mart target (4 target bullseyes) in lower right corner from 30 yards away - Magnus Stinger.
Second shot on reverse side.... - Slick Trick.

HOLY COW - I GOT A ONE INCH GROUP FROM 30 YARDS! THESE TWO BROADHEADS ABSOLUTELY FLY LIKE DARTS!!!

Here is the front side of the target showing the two broadheads penetration. The Magnus Stinger penetrated just a hair more than the Slick Trick, but then again, the Slick Trick punched a massive hole and did way more damage to the syrofoam target!

Nice shooting. That is pretty impressive especially with broadheads. Now keep it up once we hit the deer woods.

Nice!! I would start shooting at different dots before you cut the fletchings off of your other arrows with the blades.

Thanks... Yeah, I'm more than ready for the season. I am psyched up and ready to go!

I will be shooting at the back (4 bullseye side) of the target for a while until that gets all shot up. If you take a close look at the front (big bullseye), you'll see some gaping holes and tears on the plastic covering. The biggest hole is right near the bottom left corner near the big bullseye. That is actually a big chunk of styrofoam missing and/or getting bashed and trashed all the way through, from two separate shots from the Slick Tricks.

I have the best of both worlds with two great flying broadheads, fordifferent conditions or whatever.

Butch, nice shooting. Just curious, why are you shooting at such an angle to the target? From 30, at that angle and the outer target, I'd sure need plenty of room behind it. I saw those targets at Wal-Mart but bought the other one, a 4 x 4. It was still cheaper than my old Block.
