Leo Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 Did some 60 yard broadhead shooting today. Shooting at this distance was necessary to calibrate my sight tape on my HHA slider sight. This is a 125 gr Slicktrick standard and a 125 gr Rocket Stricknine. I am much more comfortable limiting my shots to 40 yds and under but I wanted the most accurate sight tape selection possible. I also wanted it to be correct for the broadheads I use. I didn't want to change sight tapes just before the hunt, so I've been doing a lot of broadhead practice lately. The Slicktrick fixed heads fly as good as the Rocket Stricknine mechanicals out to 60 yards! I was impressed. I've done a lot of bow tuning to get to this point. I'm very happy with the results!

Rhino Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 I'd be tickled to death with that at 60 yards Leo. Your pretty much spot on with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Posted June 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 I'd be tickled to death with that at 60 yards Leo. Your pretty much spot on with it. I absolutely am tickled Rhino! I am especially pleased that these are two broadhead tipped arrows with different broadheads on them. A Slicktrick fixed head and a Rocket Mechanical.

Also, only if everyone had that same mentality on their misses or bad shot placement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 That is awesome shooting Leo. Nevermind it being 2 different broadheads, which makes it awesome tuning as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Posted June 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 That is awesome shooting Leo. Nevermind it being 2 different broadheads, which makes it awesome tuning as well. Thanks Buckee. It has taken me weeks and a lot of shooting to get everything dialed in just right. I've done more broadhead shooting the past couple of weeks than I have in a long long time. Up to now 50 yards was the max I'd shot broadheads at on a range. The only reason I did the 60 yard shoot was to calibrate my sight tape for broadheads. It's been a very productive last couple of weeks. I'm gearing up to be ready for Africa end of August. Gonna need to sell some stuff to be able to hunt an Eland on this trip.

Michiganbowhunter_SQ2 Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 Darn good group Leo. Shows what a bow can do when tuned right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Posted June 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 Darn good group Leo. Shows what a bow can do when tuned right! EXACTLY! That's a major point of doing tuning, it makes ALL your arrows fly better. Even if you don't plan on hunting with fixed heads, broadhead tuning will help you fine tune. 1. Paper tune 2. Walk back tune 3. Broadhead tune My bow wasn't shooting real bad before but it is shooting much better now. The effort was worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 ones a little high and ones a little low , but in all not bad shooting Leo. like you said once the bows tuned, then tuning it with broadheads just makes it that much better. plus shooting at long distance with broadheads also tells you a lot about how well your bow is tuned and how well your arrows are tuned with broadheads. Good luck this season. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
