Default Headed to NC tommorow.

Well, I'm packing some clothes, as we speak. I got my bow all tuned up tonight, and she's ready to win her outdoor debut (probably kidding).

I'm getting up, going to work, leaving work early,probably about 3pm, heading home, loading up the car and headed to Jeff's house in Pfafftown NC, a solid 2hr 45min drive. I'm excited to spend a day shooting some 3d with some HNI buddies. TRUST me, I'll have pictures when I get home Sunday night . I'm hoping the young guns (Me and Aaron) can lay the smack down on Jeff.

On a side note, I went into work early today to get this bow tuned like she's never been before. She's shooting perfect bullet holes, with the new Easton Fatboy 500's. I made my arrows up last night. I'm ready to go.

Here she is, you guys better be ready[8D]

I just didn't feel comfortable with taking the Cardiac. This bow honestly fits me like a glove. DEFINATELY my most favorite bow I've ever owned. However buckeye, if we are slow by any chance tommorow at work, I'm going to try to get my Spott Hogg Hogg-It sighted in so I can have the option of shooting bowhunter in one of the 3d shoots.

Is the dovetail the same on the Spot hogg as the slide bar you are using?That would be a great setup if you could swap back and forth like that.

Did the Fatboys seem to shoot the same or did you have to change the rest?

Hmm. I'm thinking they don't fit up exactly. I'm pretty sure I've tried it before. Regardless, I think it'll still be a good idea.

They actually shot great. I didn't change the rest at all, it shot a perfect bullet hole through paper, from 5ft all the way back to 30yds.

I shot a 3d round tonight. I shot 219 out of 20 targets, with a 5 and 2 8's [:-]. I shot at ALOT of 14's. I think I was like 4-6 or 3-6 on 14's.

So the spine seems to be pretty close with them,how is the foc?


If they don't fit up exactly,I bet there could be some modification to 1 or both to get it so you could swap them.

I believe the Victory's were a tad bit stiff. The 500's with 8-gr points seem perfect.

I think the FOC with 80gr points are around 9%.
