hey guys thanks, i dont think there lighter lightert arrows, but they may be. O well. Billygoat, the way yhey score these things is almost exactly like bowling. You can shoot a 300 in bowling, and you can shoot a 300 in archery. But it takes 60 shots instead of 10. Hope that helps. Thanks for encouragement.

Just saw your post tonight, so I couldn't be of any help. But IMHO, helical won't affect elevation at normal indoor ranges (i.e. 20yrds, 18m). Helical/Offset will stabilize the arrow faster and could slow it down somewhat at longer ranges (i.e. 45+yrds). As to weight variation in arrows, studies have shown that up to 100gr differences won't have as much effect at shorter ranges as will arrow straightness.

That's some great scores for just starting out...indoor archery can be quite a challange. I shot competitivley for a number of years...the highest I ever finished was 8th in the state finals...if you are using it to keep your hunting skills sharp, shoot the same arrows that you plan on hunting with...if you get into the competitve spirit, you may want to make a few variations in your fletchings...indoors there is no need for a helical feather...shoot straight fletching, 2, 3 or 4 inch feathers...there's no elements to contend with, so actualy if your bow is properly tuned you should be able to shoot bare shafts! The ultimate challange is to shoot a "scratch" 300 (no handicap)...you'll find that to do this consistantly it becomes more of a mental challange...if you're shooting raw scores of 293-295 now you're only a step away....the rest of the points are all between your ears...good luck and have fun with it....the best practice is 60 arrows a day...every day.

How many points did he have????
