Thanks guys! It'll surely do its part if I can only do mine.

I hit the range with the Goblin this morning and am pretty sure I've got her tuned in for the upcoming season. I shot a few with the AD Trad Lites at 25yds, and the rest of the morning with the Black Eagles. Unfortunately, my camera died after pics of the AD's so, I didn't get any of the Black Eagles, which will be the ones I hunt with. Needless to say, the bow performed very well and with 125gr up front, I am confident I can get it done if a shot presents itself.

Thanks Bisch! I just ordered up some 135gr Eskilites to put on the Black Eagles. I don't think the extra 10gr will make much difference in flight. Especially once I get through doing some sharpening on them.

What spine and arrow length are you shooting for light tips like that. Ive only ever used 250-300 grains out front so lighter setups are a bit foreign to me

Wannabe1 · July 22, 2018, 01:46:19 PM

Justin, my arrows are the Black Eagle Vintage 500 spine, cut 29.5" bop. My bow pulls 40# @ 28" which is pretty much what I'm pulling. On a good day, I get 28.5".

I get great flight with the 125gr field tips w/a total arrow weight of 427gr. I pretty much have always tuned my arrows to the bow by adjusting tip weight 'til I get great flight.

You bet Mike! I'm loving the bow everyday! I was at the range yesterday with my son and Shot the Predator for more than two hours between 20/30 yards. I think I can get it done if the opportunity arrives!

I saw your groups, I think you can too. Pretty much positive actually

Wannabe1 · July 31, 2018, 12:58:30 PM

Well, I've got my area scouted. Seen some deer and elk so, I know they're there. Just hoping for the chance for the arrow to meet the deer!

I too love the way the Osage ages! This bow will have a really nice look to it once it does. Thanks for the vote of confidence! I'm hoping with all hope!

It might take a while to age, it seemed like some fairly "new" wood. It still has the "electric pineapple" shade to it.

That's all fine with me Mike. Just means I'll have to spend a lot of time with it!
