TOO FAST FOR EXPANDABLES!!!!!
 

Thats my question. My bow shoots over 300fps and I have never had a bow til now shoot over 275 or so. Was just needing some advice on mechanicals and this speed. Any you have tried and had good experiences with or bad alike. I'm worried about premature opening. ANY THOUGHTS?

NAP Spitfires!!! You will be happy with these. Hit 16 deer recovered 16 deer with these!

It's nice to hear that. I switched to mechanicals at the end of the 04 season. Have been wondering about them and how they'll do. They fly and hit just like my field points. I can't wait to hunt with them.

Shouldnt have a problem with steal heads either.

RE: TOO FAST FOR EXPANDABLES!!!!!
 

Dont remember the model I shoot, but I just put two rubber bands around them instead of one and havnt had any problems.

If your bow is shooting 300fps, i dont think you have a heavy enough arrow then. I may be wrong though.

He shoots a BowTech Allegiance. Nuff said:D

RE: TOO FAST FOR EXPANDABLES!!!!!
 

Not heavy enough. Your shooting animals, not targets.

RE: TOO FAST FOR EXPANDABLES!!!!!
 

Mine will push a 401 grain arrow at 303 fps @ 29 inches and 70 pounds.

That is more than enough arrow weight.

Yea buckeye...at 83 ft-lbs. of KE I think you'll be just fine.:D

RE: TOO FAST FOR EXPANDABLES!!!!!
 

My Patriot SC is shooting 405 grain arrows @ 303fps. None o fthe deer I killed with it this season seemed to think the arrow was too light. :D

RE: TOO FAST FOR EXPANDABLES!!!!!
 

For the animals I hunt my 350gr arrow drives way too far into the ground usually ruining them @350 fps.
Oh yeah
BK2 72lbs

RE: TOO FAST FOR EXPANDABLES!!!!!
 

I use `125 spitfires 200 lb 350 fps they blow holes.

RE: TOO FAST FOR EXPANDABLES!!!!!
 

I would just like to say thanks for all your replies. I am leaning towards the Spitfire 100gr or the Grim Reaper 100gr. Thanks again. Oh and i think my arrow is plenty heavy to take deer sized game.

Another good blade is the NAP scorpion xp's (they came out last year) and i was really impressed with them. i had gotten them for xmas and was very skeptical about expandables until i tried them out. they open 100% of the time, theyre sharp and they are as accurate as a field point. nuff said
