Very nice grouping my friend, very nice indeed!! I may have to look at my bolts and how they are balanced.

God Bless!

Dan, are you more or less FOC than before? Did you reduce your overall weight? How are you going to makes sure that the weight can come out again or that it does not come loose? BTW nice shooting buddy!

Dnk: lemme splain!! I got a slew of Danny Millers arrows. They are: 20" LII's, 4" vanes. brass inserts, for a total weight og 431 gr. They have a 20% FOC. [w/ 100 gr. points] Ya'll got me curious about this extra FOC I got. D. Miller said "they can go higher and you'll be ok" Meaning I'm sure 125 gr b-head. Sooooo I tuned my arrows to 15% FOC by screwqing 8-32 threaded rod into nocks. [1"=25 gr.] for FOC of 15%. I shot these puppies at 30 yds. No difference from 20% FOC. Soooo I shot the pictured group at 50 yds bench rest w/ the 20% FOC [no additions to the nock] I wasn't tryin to impress nobody, but wanted to show that 20% FOC ain"t bad, and the Slick Tricks went where the adverising claims. To tell the truth, I didn't know what the heck would happen when I shot this.
