Hey BigPapaScout I thought the forum was about hunting.

No disrespect for the people who died on 911 but Im not sure why the URL entry. Much of the text seems to recommend killing people who you dont like or who you consider have wronged you. Not very christian.

Dont you think that some people in the world feel as though they have been wronged by the US and fight back the only way they know how. Maybe the US Govt. should work out why they are hated by some parts of the world and modify their behaviour and become good neighbours.

The US has dropped bombs on more countries than any other nation on the planet since the start of "peace" after the seond world war. Probably twenty countries or more. Not the actions of a peace loving country maybe more a school boy bully with the biggest stick.

Remember, Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction or links with Al Quaeda. It did not even try and buy nuclear weapons uranium from Africa. This was known before Bushes state of the nation address!! You have to worry about the man as he believes he is on a religous mission. So did David Koresh, Jonestown and a bunch of Nike wearing Cool Aid drinkers.

Note. I am not a muslim, christian or any other religious belief, I do not condone terrorism either. I just cant stand bombing hell out other innocent people because some off our innocent people got killed.

I agree however we should never forget.

Im gunna cop some flak for this.

Range thouse are some nice heads , dont know how the speed pros will hold up , but you could probably get some acc's to spine out for you , and you know thouse are good shafts , that arnt too heavy .

austas , I guess enriched urainium and mustard gas arn't considered "weapons of mass destruction" . Get your head out of the sand and wake up , before some middeleast guy puts you and the rest of us to sleep permently .

I thought about biting my tongue on this one but I'll tell you like I tell it to others...

As an American citizen (assuming you are since there's no location in your profile) You have many rights, you have the right to vote, you have the right to be heard, you have the right to disagree, and you also have the right to buy a one way ticket to Iraq or wherever your heart desires if you're not happy in the U.S.A. or with it's policies and leadership.

JMHO...

Are you using the speedpro's? Not sure why the sad face...

I'm genuinely interested in how these shafts are holding up. There are many many reports of carbon arrows of different manufacturers and processes not holding up well over time, with spine degradation and up front spec tolerance issues.

If you have been shooting these for awhile, please tell us what you are finding in regards to their ability (not yours ) to hold groups with lots and lots of shooting.

yes I am using the Speed pro's and they are holding up as good if not better than any thing I have used in the past.

the reason I was rolling my eyes is due to the negative posts I have read about the arrows by folks who have not even tried the arrows yet.

the reason you dont see these shafts in pro shops is because they sell out as fast as they can get them in and are now backordered because HCAcant keep enough in stock to keep the dealers supplied.

that tells me that there is a pretty big demand for the shafts.

of course people like dougaboy will speak negatively about the shafts because he is using 750 grain arrows that takes 30 minuites for his arrows to hit the target 30 yards away.

my set up is speed Pro max cut to 29.5" speed pro speed nocks Blazer vanes and wasp boss bullets traveling out othe newberry b1 at 345.8 to 347FPS off the string and traveling 335 FPS at 20 yards total grain weight of the arrow is 265 and fly like guided missles.
I will let you calculate the KE the arrow is generating at 20 yards

frankly I am weary of answering all the negative posts about these arrows by people who have never tried them.
if you want to try them, great!
if you dont , Great.

I'm a read alot about before I buy and try kind of guy...

Unfortunately, with all the people apparently using these arrows, no one has put up any relevant testing info on the shaft quality that I kind find, only how fast they go.

I am truly interested. Do you know of any sources that test to see if the advertised specs are in fact what you get, and how they hold up over time? What are the advertised specs, besides weight per inch, anyway?

Look at the Axis shaft for example. Lot's of hype. Lot's of takers. Lot's of subsequent reports they don't meet spec or hold up well over time.

If the speed pro's can match the consistent durability of the ACCs with matched spine and tolerances, I'd be looking at them hard. However, there are way too many shafts on the market with ton's of smoke and blue sky promoting them, that don't bear out when you lay your money down.

Have you done any extensive spine testing? Noticed any of the shafts suddenly becoming fliers? If not you have you seen anyone post this info anywhere? I'd genuinely like to know, no negativity at all...
