let me know if you ever get a chance to chrono your bow at longer distances, as curiosity has the best of me.

i'd love to see some solid facts on how much energy that light of an arrow can retain downrange.

Bigpapa, are you standing on the moon to get that flat of a trajectory!!![&:] I'm sure you mean that you can compensate with the same pin from 10 to 40 yards by holding over I can do the same thing with my 540 grain 2315's at 254 fps without stripping out my sight mounting screws

Gimp
I have my sight pin set for 40 yards and aim about 2" low at 20

yes I am compensating but not nearley as much as if I were to be shooting heavier arrows

flatter than any thing I have ever shot and I have been shooting 30 years.

Bigpapa, Are you shooting the Carbon Revolution Speed Pro Max? I had the chance to look at these at the Harrisburg,PA. show. I am interested in these arrows...Bob

My hunting arrows differ from year to year...generally they fall within the 390 to 420 grain range.

Haven't decided on arrows for my hunting set-up this year yet, but I suspect 390-400 will be about right.

420, probably dropping to 400 this year

I guess one of the isues with me will be diif. in noise. When I shoot aluminums I shoot a 2315 just because it is noticably quiter than a 2413, last years arrows just might be ticket with my Pat DC, I imagine a 483 arrow out of a 70lb Dually will pack some pretty good punch, another thing, are the A/C/C shafts noticably quiter than say an all carbon shaft of the same weight? Just wondering if the combination of materials has any effect.

I'm staying with the heavier arrows for hunting. I shoot my hunting bow a lot before the season starts so I don't want to have to rebuild strings and cables and retune during the season. I might try the heaviest Axis shaft for hunting this year, I think they would come in at around 460 grains at 29 inches. With my '03 Pat Dually, they would be around 275 fps.

I hunt with arrows weighing between 560 and 580 grains. Draw weights from 50 to 60 pounds.

wwag,
I assume your meaning the 300 shaft, do you think they'll be to stiff? I figured the Axis 300 shaft set up the same way I'm shooting my 340 Evolutions weigh almost exactly the same.(483) I just figured I could afford to drop a little. I'm not unhappy with the weight of the evolutions, my 02 MM zings them along at about 263fps, so the Dually ought to do pretty well with them, I want more consistancy from shaft to shaft than the Evo's. I'll just have to try some diff. things and see what works.
