I would shoot Gold Tip 7595 Xt' s with 4 or 5 inch offset/Helical feathers. Left or right. does not matter.

40 ft up with a bow[:o][:o]

I agree w/ Rack-attack....the 75/95 Goldtips at 28" would work great....

So at 40 ft. do you use a safety harness or a parachute???:)

I too agree with what has already been posted, the 7595 XT would surely suit your needs. Now i have a couple of questions, 40ft[:o] do you carry an oxygen mask and some kleenex for nose bleed?:D man that' s a lot higher than i want to be. Looks like you' d have a pretty wicked shot angle at that height. Hope your wearing a full body harnest up there.

I agree with the 7595' s also. A short bow with hard cams at that draw weight will need a very stiff shaft.

Good lord! At 40 feet up, the ground is out of range. :D I' d be too busy holding on to even think about shooting a bow. :D Steep angled shots make it really hard to get both lungs. I hardly ever go above 20 feet.

Thanks for input.Ill try them. but left or right heilical,plastic or fleather or what degree does not matter for trying to get a some what perfect flight?
And about the 40ft.Its 40 foot not yards.One of my favorite trees is in a creek bottm with ridges on both sides.I have to get that high.Besides that I stink.
Of coures I use asafty strap.I`m not stupid just a hunter.Hey Rack-attack you don`t have tall trees in NY or have they all been cut down.

Bullsi,
In that situation, I can understand going that high. I' m a flatlander so 40 feet up is way up there to me. :) The most important thing is shot angle. As long as you' re not shooting a really steep downward angle, you can get both lungs.

Since you are shooting a fallaway, you can put plenty of helical on your fletchings. I think the max is usually 8 degrees and anything near that will work just fine. The degree of helical/offset isn' t as important as getting a correctly spined shaft. I prefer 4" feathers, but good vanes work also.

Good luck getting it set up.
