Has anyone shot the speed pro max arrows from HCA. I saw a video demo on another site where this guys test all types/brands of equipment. He shot a 350 grain arrow and this speed pro max. The chrono was 273 on the 350 grain arrow and I think around 311 with the HCA (used same bow)
Then he shot both into a peice of plywood. The 350 grain went through about 1-1/2 inch, where the speed pro went through about 12-14 inches.
Though the speed pro was alot lighter, it had better penetration. The place that did test said they are going to start using them. I think this guy that test this stuff, has hogg or a picture of a pig as his avatar?
Anyway just wondered if anyone seen this video or had a chance to shoot these arrows.
Thanks

Just don't hit them with another shaft, they are very thin walled. I've also heard that the spine gets shot out of them fairly quickly but I didn't see that myself. We got a dozen in our shop and I quit carrying them after that. They are just too light for the heavy boned critters we have up here.

Thanks Rob, I was just curious. The way that he reviewed them and they are advertised on HCA. How could you not want them. Expecially when they were shot through 3/4 inch plywood and penetrated better thanthe 350 grain.I didn't see any damage to it,go figure!
Thanks again

If they are lighter than 350 grains I wouldn't be shooting them out of a 70# bow. That is very rough on a bow if you don't have at least 5 grains per pound of draw weight.
