That's sooner than I expected. Still planning on making it. I'm just in Park city so just a couple hours.

I have a couple questions about the broadhead shoot.
1- Is 500 grains the arrow used for all bows?  I've seen the numbers for 50# and less and unlimited and it seems like the heavier bows are not shooting 10gpp.

2- Can I bring my own broadhead arrow or have to use a standard arrow?

I'm sure I'll have other questions later.

Not going there with a plan on taking a win. Just want to see the event and shoot some broadheads over 200 yards from a primitive sinew backed juniper design. 

Badger:
  Chuck, the broadheads weigh 450 grains for all bows and you do have to bring your own arrows. We measure the weight of your bow based on your longest arrow hitting the back of the bow. Make sure you weigh your bows this way so they qualify.

For the Friday and Saturday regular Flight shoot:
There are no minimum arrow weight requirements. The objective is to see how far you can fling an arrow. Make the arrows as sleek and clean flying as you can.

For the Sunday Broadhead Flight shoot:
Yes, bring your own Broadhead arrows as long as the weight is 450 or more grains. Any arrow length is fine as long as it qualifies for the weight division you are planning to compete in. No weigh-in is required for the Unlimited weight division, so arrow length does not matter in that case.  If you wish to bypass the weigh-in process, then you can always choose to enter as Unlimited even if the draw weight of your bow is only 35#.  If your regular arrows are a bit light, then we can add some weight easily enough.

If your arrow is a bit long for qualifying for a specific weight division, you have the option to tape a block of wood on the back side of your bow to help ensure it stops at or below the target draw weight. For example, if you are planning to enter the 50# and under, but your bow reads 50# and there is still an inch further draw left in the arrow, then tape a 1” thick block on the back of the bow to serve as a stop and you will be fine.

Thanks

Another question for the broadhead shoot. I remember hearing fast flight strings and not aloud but b-50 strings are fine??

For registration. Do I need to be there Thursday, or can I show up just for the weekend?

Thanks
