Field point options with ACC's.

I'm disliking my field points on my ACC's. They are too sharp/pointed and it causes major penetration issues (too much) out of my Ally. I shoot too far into my Morrell bag, past the vanes on the front side and I have to dig and sometimes ruin them to get them out. No other bow/arrow combo that has shot my bag does this. I know the Ally has major KE but that's not the issue, it's the points, I proved this to myself with one other field point I have but I can't find them anywhere.

You guys rock so, suggestions. ?

If I was you, I would start using bullet points. bowhunterssuperstore has em in all kinds of sizes.

Have you tried the Slick Tip points (Satellite Archery)? They feature an oversize field point and a delrin collar for easy removal. I would think the fatter point would reduce penetration.

These points caused me some issues 3D shooting. My inserts were coming outa hair. I have never had that issue except with these points.

Mark - I have only fired a couple hundred shots with these points, and only into a Block 4X4 target. Do you think the delrin collar is compressing and allowing the insert to get pushed back into the arrow shaft?

Rob,the easton field points are the absolute best points on the market and they have a blunt end so they should work great for you.

They are available at www.lancasterarchery.com

You could use the bullet style points that taper bigger but they are hard on targets.

I say ditto this, but maybe you need a better target as well. I have a Morrell Outdoor range, about $80, that I've never had an arrow even poke the back side of. If you're using something this durable, and poking all the way through, then the bults may help.

Thanks bigcountry, I think I found exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks TFOX, that also helps me, between you and bigcountry I've found exactly what I need, I appreciate it guys.



It's not the target, it's the same one you have, the Morrell outdoor bag, it's stopped ALL arrows through many bows except my Allegiance and these pointy points I have. It's the KE and the points. Like I said, I have ONE point that differs and the bag stops that one but not the others. I know when I change points, I'll be fine. Right now I have to put another target behind it to stop my arrows. I know I'll have even more of an issue when my 82nd comes (if I don't change points).

Thanks again guys.

I am not sure. I admit, I shot the crap out these arrows. When I started using these points, I was singing thier praises, but then started pulling them out of 3d targets and shocked to see my insert moving. I figured if the insert would move 1/8", it would come on out.

I bet you won't have issues shooting a block. Some new 3d targets can be tough to pull out of.
