Wow, look at this group (25 yards, but yet with 125 grain)
 

Wow... I can't believe the group I just got! This is mind boggling to the point where just I don't understand it....

Normally, my bow calculated to be roughly 272 fps with 100 grain tips and a little light (about 10.17% FOC) for hunting purposes. So out of curiosity, I screwed in some old 125 grainers and to play around with. According to calculations, a 125 grain would put me about 268 fps and a nice 12.68% FOC.

The below picture is two Beman ICS Hunter 340's at 25 yards with 125 grain tips! I even buggered up one fletching on the first arrow!! :D
I think I found my bow's true niche... It seems to like 125 grain tips more than 100 grain...

Now all I have to do is adjust my sight pin a tad and I'm good to go! [8D]

Hmm, maybe my last bow wanted 125's all along??[&:]


Lookin' good, I needs me a new target like that.

Nah. I think your just learning how to shoot better. Nice shooting!

Thanks... I know one thing, I am loving my new Reflex Highlander. :D

I have tons of time to play with it, play with different arrows, all sorts of stuff, before the season comes in.

with my new bow im able to put 3 arrows in a circle the size of quarter, which looks about the size of your grouping nice shooting Butch A

I am going to say the extra 25 grains softened your spine and perhapsnow your spineis in the sweet spot for your .340's setup.

I actually prefer a little more FOC then the 10% norm. I like to be in the 12% range as you are now shooting.

RE: Wow, look at this group (25 yards, but yet with 125 grain)
 

With moder equipment its amazing how well you can shoot. I too also like to have my arrows FOC be around 12%.

Nice shooting,now when you adjust your sights dont forget to shoot each arrow at the different spots or your asking for some expensive trouble;)
