Done!

I think you can get most of todays broadheads to fly in you have good arrows. The Black Eagle arrows mentioned above solved all of my problems with fixed broad heads. I have Slick Trick Magnums 1 1/8", Grim Reaper Hades 1 3/16", Hellrazors 1 1/8", Striker Magnum 1 1/2"( this is t...

I'm in , thanks.

Do you need the ballistics coefficient of the arrow for it to work?

The program should set it for you,but if it does not I have used .055 or .043 . I think .055 is the most commonly used number.

Go to the Hawke Optics website and download the BRC program, it's free.

I have the Hawke BRC and assuming 290 fps with the scope height at 2 inches this is what it gave me. 5 yds - + 1.1 10 yds - + 3.14 15 yds - + 4.08 20 yds - + 3.89 25 yds - + 2.55 30 yds - 0.0 35 yds (- 3.77) 40 yds (- 8.84) Hope this helps you out.

Current strings are served with the most durable material available. If you are having problems a different serving will not help. Why don't you post a picture of your failed serving when your string is on the bow? On my Equinox I've had two FFF strings last around 250 shots and that is fine. Howev...

That is pretty neat, I like it. I may try that.

Thanks for the replies. I'm going to place an order for the suggested serving materials and find works best for me. Hopefully I can get my serving to last longer then the manufactured ones. When I have some shots on them I'll let y'all know If i'm having any luck.

I would like to start reserving my strings and need some help in selecting the best material to do it. I have an Equinox with the factory FFF and a Matrix 380. Would Angel Majesty .026 work for both ?

I'm 67.
