Thoughts on arrow weight vs arrow speed

[patrick0685]

I started with Gold Tips as well and have switched to the Easton Axis and thats what I am going to take to Africa. I shoot an Elite Energy 32 28.5 draw 70#'s, my arrows will be 450ish or 425 depending on lighted nocks or not. My FPS is 286 which puts my KE at 77ish way more than enough for any animal in North America they say. My only suggestion would be before you finalize on 1 arrow buy a few and check them out. Also you might be shooting fast enough that your 20 and 30 yard pin could be 1 then you would have a 20/30 - 40 - 50 yard pins.

Nice. I tested the Elite line (E35, Synergy), the Hoyts, G5 Prime and Rival, the Mathews HTR No Cam, plus the whole PSE line from their speed bow to the big Freak SP. I wanted to like the Elite 35 as it was my paper pick going in, but I just did not get along with it as well as the Hoyt or the PSE Freak. I did not get to shoot an Energy 32 though, impressed with the speed you posted.

Axis are the only Easton's I want to try right now, they are the same internal dimensions as the Kinetics. That being said, I have not been able to find a six-pack in the right weight in a store. May have to look at Lancaster Archery online.

My thought on the 20 pin is to actually set it more like a 15yd, so a tick low at 20, a tick high at 10.

With the CBE TEK Hybrid 3-pin, the 30yd is the floater so their site tapes are scaled to a 30 and 60yd zero. I have yet to do the 60 yd site in, but good to go at everything between 10-50.
