What arrow are you using if you shoot an Iceman?
I'm curious as to what arrow Iceman shooters are using.
I'm using a Blackhawk Vapor Pro 4000 (pre Gold Tip ownership) and it seems like it is too weak a spine when I shoot bare shafts at 20 yards (hits to the right). I have cranked it down from 70# to 65# and while it improved some, it still isn't what I want. I shooting a 29.5" arrow with a 100 gr point. I would rather switch out arrows than go up to a 125 gr tip.

GRIZZ
The Iceman I found is hard to tune - was for me anyway. If you research my posts about it I had a lot of issues, so many I gave up and got a differant bow. Now do not get me wrong - I really have liked the bows that I have shot and owned that were Bowtech , but the Iceman althouigh increadably quiet, dead in hand was a tuning nightmare for me. Look at my recent posts...I used 200,300,400 PSE Radial Weave Pro's with 50,100 grain inserts,points from 75-200, bare shafts, fletched... and gave up...

Yeah, I saw your posts eightwgt and I feel your pain. I'm too stubborn to give up yet, but I'm starting to regret buying the Iceman.
