Look up Simmons, the broadhead co., I think they make one that you might be looking for. I think its the one the primos boys used..

I ditched my peep about 4 years ago. I won't go back to one and I can hold a 4" group @ 50 yards..

The FOB is designed to fall off while your arrow passes through the animal, thats why you wrap your shaft and where you find the FOB laying gives you a good starting point for tracking.

Muzzy Zero-Effect, no strings, no failures

The guy that designed them said he designed them because he hated fletching arrows. You can hear them going downrange but the sound you hear is from the back of the arrow. In other words when an arrow fletched with vanes or feathers is flying downrange you can hear it coming, with a FOB arrow you can't. I know what you're thinking(arrow has to be faster than the speed of sound) but I had my son stand off to the side of my bag target 20 yds away. The arrows with conventional fletching he could hear, and the FOB arrow he couldn't hear. I've had fun shooting them but I don't know if I'm going to hunt with them. I still love feathers myself. One thing I don't like about them is they do alter your anchor point alittle. For $20.00 you get a bakers dozen so try them out, by the way the designer will e-mail you when you buy them ask you a few questions like which rest you're using, ect. He is very helpful, his name is Paul Morris. Also, I am in no way affiliated with Starrflight in case you're wondering....

I have tried the FOB's and they do fly awesome. They fly the same as convential fletching @ 20 yards, but the further out say 40-50 yards is where they shine. I installed them on some Gold Tip XT 5575's. I'm shooting an 07 Bowtech Allegiance with a Muzzy Zero-Effect rest. I had an Ultra rest installed but the FOB kept making contact due to the arm bouncing back up They are pretty cool if you can get past the look of them on your arrow. I tried them with my 100 grain stingers installed and they grouped perfect with field tips.

Re: which new carbon arrows I've shot the Axis, and the Gold Tip Pro's and I like the Pro's. I had a problem with the Axis splintering at the tip of the arrow. I also put both arrows on a roller and the Pro's had no wobble, can't say the same with the Axis, even after running it through the G5 ASD.

Re: What hang-on stand used by Bill Jordan? I saw that episode and I don't remember the name of the company but it was in 97-99 I think that the company was a sponsor. Remember when RO always did a product spotlight on tv? I remember seeing them do the spotlight on that stand, can't remember the name though. I want to say that Michael Wadell was showing how to set the stand up.

Re: crackerized Trykon I never sent any of my bows to him but crackers is da man!

Re: alluminum or carbon????????? For me, I would rather spend my money on a dozen xx78's that I know are all straight than buying a dozen carbons and picking out the straightest ones to put in my quiver. Besides after much repeated use carbon specs start to stray. I read that in one of the bowhunting magazines. Also after seeing theat guys hand on the internet was enough to keep me packing xx78's JMO. You guys be careful with those carbons.....no emergency room visits! Bend'em before you shoot'em.

Re: alluminum or carbon????????? Aluminum for me. I tried all different brands of carbons. I think for me, I got caught up in the speed thing, then I read an article by Randy Templeton, who said the fastest arrow will never beat the speed of sound referring to string jumping. His article put it all back into perspective for me.

Re: Whats worth the price? I think that would be very cool. Alot of us don't get to see "shooter" bucks in the field consistantly. I was impressed to see that you guys have Steve Stoltz on your advisory staff. Very impressive!

This season I have been hunting with carbon arrows. I was using Easton Axis arrows. A few weeks ago I shot a doe, complete pass through, tonight I grabbed the same arrow and put it on my spinner. Holy wobble! I changed the broadhead and tried again. Holy wobble! I grabbed the rest of the batch and they all wobbled with the exception of one. Thats not good, so I broke out my trusty XX78 2314's and just finished re tuning and sighting in. Perfect bullet holes. I also have a dozen Goldtips and spun them as well. 6 out of 10 had some type of wobble. Nothing against carbon but I think I will stay with my SuperSlams.
