How is it shooting with broadheads? If its launching darts then leave it. Put a lumenok on and have somebody else watch the flight.

Ya, that would work, if your arrow will be long enough for your rest. Also, be sure check this with your broadheads on. What rest are you using? You should be ok doing that. If you think you are ok....you don't have to do anything. I have found that following what the company specs say generally works out for the best. If I have ever leaned towards one way or the other..its towards being a little on the stiff side.

If you cut your arrows or drop head weight to 85, your arrows will be flying highand you will need to resight. Like i said, broadheads tell the truth. If they are spot on, then your bow is in tune.

If you cut them two inches you are dropping 14.8 grains. Ya you might fly slightly higher, but you would have a greater FOC, which is a good thing in most cases...I am just wondering...(there's nothing wrong with it) but why the 125 heads?

i shot my broadheads to make sure they were all flying to where i was aiming, and that they dont wobble like crazy in air, they all past, and i have been shooting my field points and everything has been fine. if i mess up it me, and thats when i know i need a break.

i am not a speed person, i would rather have the extra weight in the arrow so i have more pentration, i do that because i have only a 25 inch draw lenght, and for add security

No way are you overspined at a 25" draw length,the charts do not account for draw length,just arrow length.


OOPS,that should read no way are you UNDERSPINED
