Title: GT 300 velocity test
Post by: AZ_Longbow on February 09, 2015, 02:17:00 PM
Looking at an efoc setup with the following.
Gold tip 300 velocity cut to 28 inches.
50 grain insert and a mix of GT screw in weights.
with a 2nd test arrow with a100gr insert and weights.
300 grain field point / tuffhead Brodhead  with adapter.
3 4" feathers
an 8inch florescent arrow wrap under the feathers.

I will be using both
Hoyt buffalo 28" 65lbs but will pull 27" near exactly center shot.
Bama hunter 28" 65lbs but will pull 27" with a 0.125 center shot.

any guesses how they will stack up?
I will chronograph them as well.
just waiting for the dozen arrows to arrive.

300 cut at 28" will be on the stiff side. 340 spine would probably work better.
I use the 340 velocity XT full lenght (32") with 320 gr total point weight with my 60# Caribow recurve and 59# border HEX 6.5 recurve both little past center including the strike
plate leather on

I'll pick up a half dozen 340s and add them to my test. Thanks.
