18" Zombie, AL insert(26g), plastic yellow flat nock (not much g), 2" Blazers, 170g FOC. Blazers 4 degree offset. Helical wasn't as accurate with field points nor FOCs.
When these arrows are gone, I will try the SK200 and SK300 in offset configuration. I think these or at least one of these will excell the Blazers.

We want the arrow with the lowest drag, has great accuracy, that is quiet in flight, and has durability. Having helical creates more drag, requires more foc, and is less accurate with field points and many expandibles. Always try your components with offset rather than helical. Most, but not all, fixed broadheads do better with helical (the boltcutters did well fo me with offset).



Thank You Sir I am about to start playing

I just read tonight over on Archery Talk that Wyverns has suspended sales of the Matrix 405 due to reliability issues... I went to Wyverns web site and saw it posted there also.... Hard to believe, as I thought their issues had been pretty well diagnosed as an improper brace height issue as also applies to the 380 also??????

This should get interesting if true.

If I only had a M405 (I have a 380 as a backup), I'd get another 405 for a backup. If at all possible, everyone should have some sort of a backup, IMO .
