Re: Favorite Rifle?

I love my Remington Model 700 SS BDL 300 Short Action Ultra Magnum w/ Leopold VXIII CDS scope. I went out last week and hit pie plates at 575 yds. Best shooting rifle I have. Problem is, ammo is hard to find and I don't re-load. ](*,)

Re: Heavy Arrows

I shoot Cabelas 6085s out of a Mathews Reezen. They weigh 425 grains with an Initial velocity is 295 FPS at 67 pound pull, Kenetic Energy (KE) of 82 Ft pounds. At 100 yards the computer says 70 Ft pounds of KE. That's what you gotta look at. A heavier arrow will have a more profound arc. At close d...

Re: Heavy Arrows

I am pulling 72 lbs. PSE says my bow shoots around 312fps. Before I got this bow I was shooting an old PSE Carroll Intruder which was the best on the market back in '92. I used it for 14 years with heavy XX-78 arrows. I loved the set up. I don't know why I swiched to carbon arrows. Probably because ...

Re: Heavy Arrows

Are you guys saying 450+100(broadhead)=550? I want to be 550+. Will FMJ's get me there? My arrow length is 29". Thanks for your input.

Heavy Arrows

I am thinking about switching to a heavier arrow for elk hunting this year to get rib breaking penetration. I have been shooting about 450 grain arrows including broadhead. Any suggestions on arrow types? I have been eyeing the Full Metal Jackets. Thanks

Re: Easton FMJ & super glue?

Having arrows blow up in your face could also be damaging to your bow. Not worth the $12. IMO.

Re: Archery Sights

I was at the local bow shop today looking at sights for my PSE Vengence and I couldn't bring myself to spend the dough for those high end sights. I have an old Black Gold I bought years ago for $50 and I think it works fine. I hunt the rugged brush laden mountains of the Oregon coast range for Roose...
