Title: Grizzlystik Alaskans
Post by: dhermon85 on January 17, 2014, 09:45:00 PM
So I picked a half dozen up a while back and finally decided to play a little. The three I played with are cut to 29". Brass insert(72gn?) 3 fletch low profile banana.
So I started with 125 points, then 175, 200, and 250.I couldn't get them to to fly bad in that wide a range of point weight. Is this normal with these? With all tapered carbons? Or am I just that good?    :nono:    
Thanks in advance.

YOU MAY HAVE TO ADJUST YOUR NOCKING POINT LOWER AS YOU LOOK AT THE ARROW SHAFT THE NOCK END IS TAPERED AND SO IT CHANGES THE ANGLE THE ARROW SETS ON YOUR BOW ,ANYWAY HAD TO SET UP A BOW JUST TO SHOOT GRIZZLYSTIKS ,THE SETUP SURE WORKS FOR ME THHROWS AN ARROW LIKE A DART ,NO FISHTAILING AT ALL, MAYBE IT WILL WORK FOR YOU  :dunno:

Yeah, I did raise the nock some to compensate but I didn't get them to show weak or stiff. Maybe need to shoot longer range to show up. Thanks

I use them and actually you may need to raise your nocking point. Becasue the tapers are so fast you need to raise it in order to keep the center of the shaft on the same plane as parallel shafts. I bout them to use in a recurve, but they shot to the right with a right hand recurve, no matter what point i had on them. They shot perfect out of a slightly heavier Hill style bow, but I did have to bump the nocking point up just a smidge to correct a slight porpoise. I also notice that it makes less difference with varied point weights once the nocking point is correct.
