Very nice....
GregB:
Hopefully they'll fly good out of your bow...
That's decent weight with the smaller diameter I agree that you should get good penetration.
Ranger B:
My intent was to cut them down and get them in the 28" range but they are flying very straight at full length and the length gives me the weight so I'm hesitant now. They certainly are flying a flatter trajectory so that is a plus and I like a little bit more balanced arrow. Doing the cap dip takes much more time making arrows but I had no idea just how much that paint weighed. Two dips put a ton of wt. on the arrows. I plan to weigh the next ones before and after to see just how much of a difference it is.
Ranger B:
Ran out to do a quick test before work. Below you will see two photos. The picture with the arrows in the foam target were shot at 10 yards. Not a huge difference in penetration. The second group, in the hay, was shot at 22 yards and in this photo you see my problem. I can't get the arrows spined weak enough to shoot right of the point of aim. Both the 11/32" and the 5/16" are left of the ball I'm shooting at. I could increase the point wt. on the 5/16" but I don't think I can get broadheads much heavier in 5/16". I am shooting a 160gr pt on the 11/32. To distinguish, the white cap dipped arrows are the 5/16" and the solid, no cap dip and spliced feathers are the 11/32. I like the smaller diameter arrow.
