Zombie shafts

Post by venison »

I'm making up some new zombie bolts for my 380 and wanted to ask someone what is the reason why some people take the labels off does it make the arrow go down the rail nicer .. I have been shooting my girls and they are excited to fling some aras zeroed in to 100 yds.is it a personal preference that some people like it better with no labels curious im getting ready to go to connecticut and shawack a few ...Hope everyone has a great venison season

Those painted labels will literally weld to a broadhead target. Remove and use a touch of arrow lube on front inch of arrow, removal will be night and day diff

Never have removed them ever. Never saw the need.
Only rarely shoot broadhead targets - just enough to confirm point of impact for hunting.
Bag targets another story - thousands upon thousands of shots most years.

Fly True to 100 yards every single time!
Many Thanks to Big John for that! :wink:

Cheers,

I take them off because they do weld to a BH target. But mostly because I think they are ugly. :mrgreen:
