At 30" with my good release the tail wiggle is gone, weighed at 870 grains, 13 gpp they disappear right at my focus point.  This broadhead target is toast.  Don't know if I even need string silencers, but it sure is quiet.  A tad slower that 650-700 grain arrows, but hits like a freight train.  Need to slip away and do some penetration testing, thinking I'll be spending time looking for bloody arrows in the brush.

Thank You for sharing the Ken Beck video. That was excellent.

Been messing with Hickory arrows.  At 30" seem to fly well.  Have tried Ribtek 190, Snuffer 160, and Zwickey Delta 2.   All seem to fly OK but my form and release is a concern as to which is better.  Will try 3 Rivers 200 grain VPA clone to see what happens.  Shafts are spined 90/95#.  It's fun to tinker.

Ureeka!!!  Moved back to 200 grain broadhead and the arrow disappears into the spot on the target.  At 875 grains total weight there  is sufficient penetration.  Shot the hickory beside three carbons with 300 grain VPA heads and the feathers on all four were swallowed by the target.  Woodie was sticking farther out the back.  Group was about four inches at 13-15 yards.  That'll do!!!

Nock left for a RH shooter usually indicates impact right.  Right impact for a RH shooter indicates WEAK. I never pay any attention to nock left, right, high or low--only impact.

Lot of ways to tune, but I never could pull most of them off, especially paper tuning.  Years ago a fell in to arrow and bare shaft impact tuning.  It gives me immediate feedback.  I start at 10 yards (correcting up/down first) going back 5 yards at a time making adjustments along the way.  By the time I get to 25 yards I'm as good as my shooing ability allows..
