I'll be honest. My concern is arrow flight. I know obviously the arrows are hitting close enough....what about arrow flight? I cannot get past thinking the extra drag, and more and more with each foot of string let out, is going to make a formerly true flying arrow a tad kilter off with the string attatched? Physics says something is going to change.

Out to 20 yards you wont even notice a difference.
I will add, the 30# line does work better than the 17#.
The 17# has been more prone to snagging on brush and pulling apart.

No I can see that much. But I'm not sure if he is as OCD as I am or not though...lol

DRag is minimal and I haven’t really
Noticed anything. I was concerned about that as well at first but my concerns have been been disbanded.

Don't even give it a second thought.
Just pay attention to where the string is before the shot so it's not tangled in your arm or something and REMEMBER TO TAKE THE STOPPER OUT OF THE HOLE WHEN YOU START HUNTING!
Just sayin'. :? :roll:

Actually Kirk, a few weeks ago I was in my blind for a couple hours when I saw the stopper still in the hole.
I was fortunate that I didn't try to shoot a deer with that still in.
