the fletching has nothing to do with single bevel effect through tissue. That makes zero sense, how can a fletch impart rotation once the broadhead has hit tissue . . . no way. Its all about the unequal length of the cutting surface you get with a single bevel v.s. equal length from a double bevel. ...

Thanks VIxen! Love the string :) So yeah, I don't know if there is a crossbow made that would shoot a 700 grain arrow at 380fps but if there is I want it! haha not really. . . Shooting these 502g arrows out of my micro 355 I'm in the neighborhood of 300 fps, maybe 290. I would also think that the sh...

hunt it - what exactly is a single bevel designed to do then that my set up failed to do? It flew great, gave me a 4X4 S-shaped cut much larger than the actual cut width of the head itself and blew through the deer like it wasnt even there. So amazing penetration, S-shaped cut, split ribs in half x ...

Thanks for the kind words and congrats. . . OBVIOUSLY i wouldnt even try to intentionally shoot a deer in the rump. That was an isolated incident that happened once to me in my 20+ years bowhunting. The only other deer I ever drew blood on and didn't recover was a shoulder hit in my youth with a low...

After 6 weeks of actually bow hunting, i love my zeiss. glad I went with it over the leupold. Scored on Amazon for 270 something with free 2day shipping. I think in low light the glass is better and my illuminated excal scope even the lowest setting would wash out the view. Anyways, love the zeiss, ...

Hey everyone, hope you're all enjoying the season so far! I'm back with a real-world update from my Ashby approved crossbow set up and have good news! The Micro 355 is AWESOME and the Zeiss crossbow scope has proven a great upgrade to my old excal scopes. (sorry excal) The flemish string that vixenm...

I'll be doing a bit of an addition to my previous "ashby approved" post from earlier this fall but in a nutshell, SUCCESS!!! My now chosen set up is 15.5" spinal tapps from southshore archery with the doublewalls, 125g brass inserts, 125g grizzly single bevel 2 blades with 75g titaniu...

thanks buddy, was a long time coming to be able to get her. haha sold 3 or 4 motorcycles I was working on and a '74 dodge dart that I just rebuilt an engine/trans on to get the funds together. Gotta love old 1960's detroit mopar muscle

I used the lansky system for many many years, tried so many different types of stones they offered and was never happy. I always ended up using wet/dry auto sand paper up to 2500 grit and just cut off strips and wrapped around the stones. Ya overall the lansky kind of stinks. The edge pro is very sw...

Haha alright, you asked for it! 1966 Barracuda Formula S http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj9/fenceguy1984/IMG_4253.jpg http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj9/fenceguy1984/baracudaseesthefirstlightofdayinnea.jpg http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj9/fenceguy1984/cuda2018.jpg 273 Commando original...

I'm going to give it a shot with the 125g grizzly heads and the 75g titanium tuff head adapters. Going to an archery shop this weekend and use their chrono. Will shoot and compare my 636g original set up and the 125 heads + 75g adapter with both the 125g and 75g inserts. That'll give me a good way t...

If you want the most idiot proof way to sharpen a knife and get super SCaRY sharp edge I highly recommend the edge pro apex. It's a little bit of an investment but I've been very happy using it for 2-3 Yrs now. The most important thing about it is the stones edge pro sell with it are total trash, ju...

That 300 looks nasty! Do they come pre dipped in blood? Lol I'm using right offset with right bevel. So far I'm very happy with the flex fletch sk300s. They're much more durable than the Blazers. I need it too since it keeps burying my arrows down so deep Tried slowly heating a field point in pliers...

I love the centaur heads, look awesome and sure bet they put down a nasty trail. There's a guy on our local "Michigan out of doors" tv show who does self film long bow hunts , he uses those heads... With great success too. Personally I just wanted to try single bevel and see what happens. ...

I was thinking it may be a little overkill myself but debating if it's worth trying to shed some weight or just stick with it. Within 30-35 yds it's dead no matter what. But more speed would be nice. If I went with 75 g brass inserts and the lighter 125g grizzly head and 75g insert adapter that woul...
