How Long Can I Leave It Cocked?

I just suffered a significant back injury and am looking to try a few sits on the ground. I may have to have my brother cock my 355 for me. How long can I safely leave it cocked?

Thanks

Re: I hope this is just a crack in the finish...

Mine did the same thing and was barely a year old. They replaced the limbs

Re: Accuracy issues?

Just got some executioners from Danny. At my door in 2 days. Shooting 2 inch groups at 50 yards with broad heads.

Re: Arrow Weight-Does 14 Grains Matter?

I had some insert weights laying around from my gold tips I shoot with vertical recurves. I didn't expect them to thread onto the back of the bolt inserts but they did so I just pulled the nocks off and added 10 grains to each bolt with the extended weight wrench.

I'm good to go!

That shouldn't make much of a difference I'm assuming?

Re: Arrow Weight-Does 14 Grains Matter?

Bob he must have been mistaken as this batch clearly has 80 grain inserts and the previous batch has 92 grain inserts.

Re: Arrow Weight-Does 14 Grains Matter?

I already have a bunch of slicktrick 100 grain broadheads so changing the broadhead is not something I am considering.

Re: Arrow Weight-Does 14 Grains Matter?

Thanks guys. I think Ill shoot them at 40 and 50 with broadheads and see how they do. If they are less than an inch difference I will probably just keep them.

Re: Arrow Weight-Does 14 Grains Matter?

I checked the standard components for black eagle executioners and they list 3 different weight inserts including 80 and 92 grain. Looks like the first batch had 92 grain inserts and these have 80 even though I was told they would be the same. There is no way to take the inserts out without potentia...

Re: Arrow Weight-Does 14 Grains Matter?

If it matters, I am shooting a Matrix 355. Do you think I should call and just return the bolts? Is there a way to add some weight? I'm assuming he used inserts that were 14 grains lighter and that explains the difference in weight?

Thank You!

Re: Arrow Weight-Does 14 Grains Matter?

Thanks! How much difference do you think it will make at 40-50 yards?

Arrow Weight-Does 14 Grains Matter?

I recently ordered 6 more black eagle executioner arrows from the same place I had ordered them before. I asked if all of the components would be the same and if the total arrow weight would be the same. I was told it would. Last night I weighed them. The first dozen I got previously weigh 400 grain...

Re: Micro limb delam

I would get it replaced rather than wonder about it. I just got new limbs on my 355 and the total process took about 5 days as there was a local warranty center.
