thx for the input gents I like the heavy hauler idea,that basically is what I am looking for.The golf bag strap idea is worth looking into,I will follow up on it as well.I looked quickly and so far can't find the heavy hauler in Canada,no biggie just have to find an american store that will ship up ...

Happy New Year! I am toying with the idea of building a bow sling for my equinox.The idea being to come up with a sling that allows carrying the bow as one would a back pack over both shoulders.This would center the bow width behind you making it more narrow of a profile when trail blazing.Also woul...

My string arrived earlier this week.The phoenix shoots exact same POI with the Boo string as the stock dacron string.The served on cat whiskers are definately quiet.Thanks Boo

I hear ya.The more I read,the more I realize you can chase perfection round and round."I read it on the internet so it must be true"
Time to do some shooting and see where I end up.thx for your input RB.

I just spent some time over at the Gold tip arrow site.I used their FOC calculator and the info they provide IE:weights of inserts vanes grain per inch of bolt. Using their calculator I came up with 15.2% FOC on mu bolt set up. :shock: :shock: So I am going to do some shooting and see just how good ...

Enormous when you add the set screw to the front insert,is it threaded in and glued?If so the bhead will thread in above it?RB

It's important to remember F.O.C. isn't a critical value . As long as you have enough, you're all set. Insufficient F.O.C. will cause erratic arrow flight with scattered open groups. Too much F.O.C. will cause premature arrow drop but very repeatable and extremely stable arrow flight. As long as yo...

Something I do is cut the remove the rear insert and cut it in half to increase FOC. Also, I will remove the front insert and add a 20-30 gr set screw to the rear of the aluminum insert. Loctite it in. This gives me the FOC I prefer without adding a much heavier brass insert. How does one go about ...

Just brain storming this FOC subject.
Would putting an O ring behind my bhead help.I would be increasing the front end weight and increasing the bolt length.I know it is not going to take alot to bring the FOC up enough.I think I am heading in the right direction.RB

I just tried the FOC calculator Northern linked up,thanks Northern. It tells me my bolts {gold tip laser 2} and muzzy 100gr bheads have an FOC of 6.8%.I am going to shoot them more before coming to a final conclusion.It does look like I am either going to need heavier bheads,heavier front inserts or...

Enlighten me if you can on what guys hated about the 4 blade muzzys. I'm not sure what anyone would have against any particular brand name of hunting head. I don't care for 4 blade hunting heads of any kind including the very trendy Slick Trick. The reason is the difficulty involved with sharpening...

Enlighten me if you can on what guys hated about the 4 blade muzzys.

Hey guys I am going to use Muzzy 4 blade 100gr heads for my hunting tips.I had a few of them arrive with the bow when I bought it and the practice tip seems to fly very close to the field tips out to 30yds. My question is how do tune to make sure I am getting all the accuracy I can out of the Bheads...

PM boo here on this forim.He has all the info you will need to know.RB

Being a mulie nut I am going to vote for dimenti and his outstanding buck.RB
