Standard Excal scope that comes on the Axiom

OK So back to "Outdoor Lab" after reading this and watching videos. And here are the results. Here we have a a 403 grain Firebolt (weight includes the 125gr FP) & 3 506gr GT Laser IV's (weight includes the 125gr FP) at 50 yards. Aiming Point for the Firebolt was the LOWER Black Dot &am...

In my traditional archery days I developed a taste for heavy arrows with a lot of weight up front. That seemed to translate well to t...

Yesterday I was wanting to experiment so here is the set-up. Shooting a GT Laser IV with total weight of 506gr & A Firebolt with a Total Weight of 403gr. (Both are using 125 grain FP's and calculated into the total weight) At 20 yards all are within 0.5" - 1.5" of each other. (trying t...
