Let's see your 3D arrows.........
 
Get em out!!!

So I'm sitting down here in the man cave right now sipping on my drink, and waiting on glue to dry on my new 3D arrows. I wanna see what you guys plan to shoot this year outdoors. I'll post some pics of mine in a few minutes as soon as the glue is dry.

So let's see them, and list the specs/components as well.

I'll be sure to postmy official arrowsprovided they actually get here.........I can't post what I am currently shooting due to contract obligations. LOL;):D

If you can visualize:
Carbon Express CXL SS 350's w/ 90gr points and easton G-nocks and uni bushings. Will be fletched with 2 black and 1 blue Flex Fletch 225 sheild cut vanes. They do look really pretty in my mind. :)

RE: Let's see your 3D arrows.........
 
I just recieved 2x dozen of these today and I've got a 100 pack of the nocks, as well as an extra 2x dozen pins to last me for the season.

Goldtip Pro 22's
Roughly 29" (maybe shorter, haven't cut them yet)
Roughly 315-320 grains (haven't cut them yet)
Goldtip Pin Nocks
Goldtip 80 grain glue ins
2.12" Flex Fletch

I'm still waiting on those draw length mods, and hopefully will have them on Friday. Once I have these I can cut the arrows......the plan is to cut them exactly 1/4" in front of the blade on my rest.

Yes.......as I've said before I'm comfortable being that guy. [8D] You see everyone around here is using the black vanes as well, so this year I decided to step it up a notch. These ones are clear........

If goldtip had black nocks in stock, I'd have those too, but they are out of stock and don't plan to make anymore for a while. I decided the ruby red would have to do......I've got a 100 pack of them to last me this season.

I really like the way those clear vanes look. How much do they weigh a piece?

Here are my new 3D arrows. I am getting orange or black nocks instead of the yellow ones on there. I have not been extending my sight all the way out and my groups have gotten significantly better.

RE: Let's see your 3D arrows.........
 
Im -3 now, and they all have pin nocks.





Rick James 03-12-2008 08:01 PM

RE: Let's see your 3D arrows.........
 
They are 3.9 grains each. I can't wait to shoot them at some foam.

GMMAT 03-13-2008 05:08 AM

RE: Let's see your 3D arrows.........
 
Hey RJ......do they make those in colors? I'd like to get my FOC up even more....and that would help. They weigh less than 1/2 of what I'm using.

Rick James 03-13-2008 06:05 AM

They sure do Jeff.

I appreciate it Matt......but my guess is (after thinking about it).....they;'re probably not HC legal.

You would have to look at your local regulations. I know HC in true ASA rules allows any kind of vanes though. I shot blazers the year I won our state ASA HC title.

GMMAT 03-13-2008 06:47 AM

RE: Let's see your 3D arrows.........
 
Yeah but I don't think IBO would allow them.....and like I told you....I'm trying to build ONE setup.

They sure are cool looking, though!;)

RE: Let's see your 3D arrows.........
 
I was looking at their website and i really like their "flash" vanes!:D

RE: Let's see your 3D arrows.........
 
Matt, they are cool, I've never seen clear vanes before. bowtechben was here tonight to cut down some arrows and since it was nice out we decided to do a little shooting quick. He mentioned this thread, I said I hadn't seen it nor had I heard of clear vanes. Too cool!

I can't believe I don't have pictures of my Carbon Express CXL2's. I'll have to take a few.

MGH_PA 03-13-2008 06:31 PM

RE: Let's see your 3D arrows.........
 
Really diggin the clear vanes. They're pretty sick...now "they" won't complain about black vanes anymore, there's something new:D

Rob/PA Bowyer 03-15-2008 12:10 PM

RE: Let's see your 3D arrows.........
 
Okay, was out back shooting today. Put a new Viper Predator Pro MT sight on my 82nd with 4 .010 pins, green, yellow, green, yellow and sighted it in.

No worries, glad you like them. At some point when I'm down at my camp (near Canton) we will have to all get together and shoot. ;)

Forgive me for asking this question but whats the diffrence between a 3D arrow and a hunting arrow? , I thought it didn't matter.

Ben / PA 03-21-2008 05:57 AM

RE: Let's see your 3D arrows.........
 
Definately, I was rushed down at harrisburg, I should have interduced myself, I was the guy behind you in the bleachers when Rob and Matt were shooting. I agree we need to get together.

SCBigBuckHunter 03-21-2008 06:14 AM

RE: Let's see your 3D arrows.........
 
Most people use fat arrows for 3D. They are used to try and touch lines that you would miss with a regular diameter shaft.

Wow, I didn't realize that was you.......lol. Wish I would have formally introduced myself. I had no idea you were an HNI member, I think you were behind me, 22series, and my buddy Dan?

Oh ... duh , that makes sense .... thanks for answering my stupid question .

Ya, I missed the gathering due to getting in late and then showed up for the shoot and it was on and we were both in the binos and chatting back and forth. I am sure we will get together at some point either to shoot or something. Is there any outdoor going on up there today or this weekend?

I'm not sure to be honest, Rob would know better than me. I live almost 4 hours away from you guys, up in eastern NY. My camp and family is near Canton though, and I come down about once a month during the offseason, and nearly every weekend during turkey/archery seasons. I'll be down in the next few weeks to work on my property and we will have to get together for some 3D fun. I know there are a few around, and my camp is only about 45 minutes from you guys.

There are no stupid questions in archery.

Ok I finnaly got my target arrows fletched and ready to shoot!!

They are:
Victory X-Ringer HV 350 V5 series.
PDP points
3 White Razr feathers.

Here are some pics

Full view of arrows.



View of logo.


View of fletching.


I originally wanted black feathers but When I ordered them off Dan's (MeanV2) website I forgot to change color option to black. I'm glad I got the white I find it goes well with the logo. :D



So what do you all think?

FlAllyGuy 06-05-2008 07:38 PM

RE: Let's see your 3D arrows.........
 
RJ those are awesome. I have to admit that I got the idea from one of your other posts about the flex fletch phantom vanes. I use xt hunter 5575s for 3-d and have them fletched with 2 inch vanes. 2 are clear and 1 black with black nocks. I xall them my stealth arrows. I only shoot the black nocks when I shoot with buddies cause they like breaking arrows. I will post pics tomorrow when I get home.
