I want to start zeroing in on arrows that I would use hunting. Again, been shooting about nine weeks.
I jumped too far going from 35 to 45 lbs a couple of weeks ago. Ordered some 40 lb limbs and I got them yesterday after 22 days from China Black Hunter, started shooting them some last night and I think my accuracy will improve a lot iin next few days. It just was not enjoyable, too much work and I just felt over bowed with 45 lbs at this time. The 40 actually feels closer to the 35 than it does to the 45 - go figure.
I had originally order some I think 400's legacy carbon, and I found out that they were considered too stiff. I got some dark timber from Big JIms 500's, and they shoot well in 45 and seem to in the 40 lb.
I did notice that the legacy have a little more helical than the straight fletch on the dark timbers.
I prob will shoot about a 135 grain zwickey head I think. I do have a relatively short draw, like 28 or so inches.
What combo do I need to shoot for (no pun intended) for the forty lb versus the forty five If hopefully when I can work up to it?
Do I need to try extra weight inserts on either weights?
Especially on fletching it would seem to me that the helical would help control the broadhead better esp for me as a new shooter more prone to inconsistency?
Really appreciate, if I could acquire all the traditional knowledge on here and Son Andersons woods skills; I would be a real threat to sw ga deer herd!
