    So, with 70+ degree weather today, I headed to Cheyenne Mtn to sight in at 60yds and then explore the walking 3D course.

    I really like the way the 10gr FACT weight influenced FOC on the long range trajectory. Winds were gusting so producing a decent group at 70yds was challenging and affected horizontal dispersion. Vertical dispersion was very consistent.

    The 3-pin is exactly what I hoped it would be, using the middle pin as the floater, I can set it to 60 and shoot the bottom pin at 70. Pic attached.

    Enjoyed the 3D targets as well (30yd grouping pic below). Over all, I think I will stay with this arrow weight/class for the season, maybe exploring the Black Eagle Arrow Renegade which has the same specs as the Kinetic XT. Now that I can fletch and know they don't fly wild at long range, I can just get shafts and save some $.

    FWIW, the Kinetics went about 18" into the field target at 60 yards. They definitely carry plenty of KE.

    Any thoughts on fixed blade broad heads? On paper, I like the G5 Montec (quality construction, simple and elegant design), QAD Exodus (swept blades over the half-out insert on the Kinetic just makes 'sense' to me) and the chisel tip Muzzy Trocar. I have the G5 Arrow Squaring Device so I will be able to align the broad head with the vanes, if it matters.
