I guess its just a habit I cant quit...I've stumbled upon the right combos enough before that were soooo nice, that im always seeking to get that extra magical arrow combo.... which likely will never come.
However, everytime I end up with a really nice flying arrow, it has come from me not quite being satisfied with the previous combo. My first stabs are generally nicely mannered enough, and its true many would probably be perfectly happy with them and they do the job. But have you ever had that combination, that just seems to be a bullseye magnet, rifling so straight and true throughout the distance? Well, I tinkered again today trying to advance my arrow combo....big shocker eh? I may have connected....but time will tell. Definitely an improvement in flight and not near as picky about my poor release habits, we like each other more then before. I cut down my only 500 carbon I been working on by a lil more then a half inch, and jumped up in weight to 390gr head. I plan on settling on 400gr, but I can only easily get 390 for now and may keep it there, but for now...close enough. Its about the same weight as the woods I've been using now, only there is an 8% foc difference. I must say, being able to hit 30% FOC, and keeping the arrow weight below 700gr, has impressed the snot out of this old fart, concerning carbon arrows.
30 15/16" long
692gr
30.22% FOC
392gr head
I do think I'll take Clays advise, and work up a lightning fast 600 carbon, to use over at the archery range. I'll work on that later.
