Hey thanks alot guys for your warm welcome and advice, it's been very valuable to me. I'm thinking now of using a 20" Gold Tip with the Slick Trick BH's and a brass insert (sound right to the deer hunters?). Does it matter if I use a helical or straight offset fletching? I was reading a new post on here today and now I'm just a little confused..hmmm. If no one seems to have a solid answer I'll just follow the post and decide from there. A great, friendly forum....

P.S. Thanks Digger for the heads up on the stocks, does Mark still frequent the forum?

When using any fixed blade bh, you should use a 3-7 degree offset or a minimum helical.....some guys do use a straight fletch, and shoot ok...but for maximum accuracy out to 40 yards...use an offset or helical (doesn't matter which one) The object is to stabilize the bolt for maximum straight flight and penetration.
