to those shooting BE's with matrix

Post by Deaf jeff »

I am starting to get info on things and hope to buy a 355 within the next month. I have seen a lot of post about black eagle arrows.the site I looked at only shows them available in 20" or 22". are you matrix shooters getting them cut to 18" or using the longer arrows? i plan on shooting 100gr spitfires. thx for any input

Same program here with the exception of the inserts...I use the 92grain.

I find the 92 gr inserts that came with my BEA are a little loose fit for me an I prefer the 110 brass inserts that are for the gt lazer11 because they fit nice an tight JMO

I've shot both lengths & brands and out to 40 yrds I don't see much difference other than a slight drop on the 20s
