Data on " How far a deer travels after the shot" is very interesting. On the Muzzys I will agree. I had used them (100gr 3 blade ) for years in compounds. Could count non-pass thrus on one hand, but recoveries were normally 70-90 yards on good shots. Of 4 non pass thrus 1 was very light ar...

They bury to the fletchings @ 50yrds in a new block target. Have to push them out from the back, nothing to grab but nock.

That E Z Fletch looks good. I'm still on a 20yr old Jo-Jan.

That's way more twist than came on the Lasers. Gonna strip and refletch with Blazers, and increase the twist.

Good eye Boo, I missed that. Same shape, not textured, not as stiff as a Blazer. Gonna strip everything and go Blazer. Best way to compare apples w/ apples. Love the input, many brains better than one.

Good call, won't get to shoot again until Tuesday. Matched all field points, will try rotating vanes if problem persists.

Short arrow update. Cut 3 LaserIII to 15", 110gr. brass insert, 100gr field point, plastic flatnock, 4" vanes. P.O.I. same as Diablos of same length with 150gr fieldpoint out to 50yrds. Total weight 378gr, = or - .5gr. F.O.C. approx. 25%. One arrow kept impacting low, not much but consiste...

Welcome to the forum. Out of the box is a great way to go while at the beginning of the learning curve. Excellent piece of equipment. Just as with a rifle, shoot a lot, shoot often, take care of your equipment and it will perform. Enjoy the sport and welcome again.

Thanks, that makes sense. Been lubing rail every 3-5 shots and waxing every 5. Will be probably go the custom string route in the future ,but, was told factory string would be more forgiving of "rookie" mistakes. Might put the wax a little thinner next time .

Does the stock Matrix string ever settle in and stop creeping ?

The first ones were recurve because wheels were still square.

Terrible weather here ( N.C.) no shooting today. Going to a lighter shaft, heavier insert when weather breaks. Similar weight, but slightly more f.o.c. .

340fps sounds more reasonable,also sounds more like what I've read from other members. Will "suffer through" and do some more "testing" Will be interesting to see if the broadhead keeps the accuracy.

Sighted the scope @ 20yrds with 15" arrows. Moved my block to 30yrds and good, maybe a click high, so dropped a click. Dead on. Moved the block to 50yrds. and began to dial in range with adjustment ring. At 350 50yrd groups were dead on. Moved back to 20, still on @ 20yrds. Now I don't think a ...

Overall, hoping end result will show shorter arrow will allow broadhead to steer less and be more accurate at longer ranges. They also fit the quiver better. Sorta like working up a load for a rifle.
