Thanks guys! What a great two days...shoot a slammer one day and Trump wins the US Presidency the next day! Life is good!

Well boys and girls, today was an awesome day! I'll preface with yesterday's report, I hunted all day dark-to-dark and only saw 4 yearlings...not a single mature doe, and not a single buck. Conditions seemed perfect, NW winds, lows in the mid 40s, highs in the low 60s...but the deer weren't moving, ...

I've had trouble with Rage's opening prematurely, so thinking of giving Spitfires a try. What are you guys using and have you had any issues?

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah just trying to get a general idea of what others are experiencing. Just seems strange the same BH on the same make/model/weight/size bolt (but different bolts) has differing POIs. I didn't think the spine indexing would be that significant, but maybe it is. The only pro...

FWIW, might be a bolt issue. Starting going through the process of elimination. Weighed 2 different arrows, both within 0.2 grains. One was an existing one I was practicing with, another was a brand new one. Note they are from the same order/batch of arrows. Tried the same FP on both arrows with the...

So that's the question...why don't they?
Planing going on that influences it?
What kind of POI changes are you seeing? Anything consistent?

They are 18", updated main post too!
Are all of your BHs same POI as your FPs? Out to what distances have you tested?

Just looking to get an idea of what bolt/bh combos the members here have. I'm shooting 18" spine indexed Zombies from SSA with 110 grain brass inserts and noticing I get about 1-1.5" low at 60 yards compared to FPs when shooting 100 grain Slick Trick 1" Standards. Pretty consistent to...

That would be outstanding, hope he sees it!

It does look nice, but the problem will be with the velcro straps and the odd shapes Bulldog stock. Those straps are sized/length for a full stock shape, so when you put that on a Bulldog and cinch it down, it will pull "too much" and not have any velcro to stick to. https://www.amazon.com...

Anyone come up with anything for the Bulldog yet?

Man that is just plain dumb...

And Q&A on Vortex's site:

One says yes it will fit, the other says it will not fit "perfectly" but be very snug

Mike at Vortex feels otherwise...

Right but isn't the 62mm the low end of the stretch and the 66mm the high end of the stretch, hence the variable 62-66mm fit? If it fit 70mm, I'd imagine it would say 62-70mm.
