Arrows Predator ll 4560s cut to 28" Bop. Weight 350 gr with 100 gr point. going to use 100 gr Magnus stingers 4 blade. Also have gold tip hunters cut 29" Bop. I have a selection of broadheads Muzzy Trocars 125 and 100gr, Stingers 4 blade also in 125gr and looking possibly to buy the D.R.T broadheads by Dirt Nap.
Planing to keep shots close Ideally 20 yrds or less.
Ideas and suggestions welcome also any advise on how to get shoulder stronger to draw more bow weight. Used to draw 55# using a Darton Fury. Thank you for your help Diane.
I'm sure there are a few guys here experienced enough w/ lighter rigs to suggest a good weight, I don't know first hand but I'm guessing you may want 50-100gr more.
Depends on what is actually wrong w/ your shoulder. Identify the issue first and if it only needs strengthening I would consult a physical therapist then go from there.
Its also saying that the Predators will need 275grs up front, 30" long you'd need 225 up front. Total arrow weight is 526grs and would work to 30 yards no problem in spite of the 160fps arrow speed, like shooting a longbow here.
Using heavy tips isn't a bad thing, I run 225 up front myself out of a 60lb x10 for elk, total arrow weight 452grs. With a stinger or other coc head it flys right through em. I would not use that muzzy, stick with the coc stinger.
I was wondering about the arrow weight and will try to up it I'll pull the inserts and add some 8 32 brass bolt to the back of them ( 33 gr per inch) and check arrow flight.
Will use the stingers 125 gr. The fun is in the testing. I try not to over do it with the shooting when the group opens up I call it quits I don't need to develop bad habits(form) on top of it.
Pt exercises that I was given were weird they didn't do a thing for my shoulder. It was when I started googling shoulder exercises and got myself some thera bands and very light weights that I finally saw some progress. So I was hoping someone who had similar could say what helped them. So Thank you all again. Diane
The thing w/ a shoulder is they take forever to heal. PT can be tedious and seem like it is not working but you have muscles in your shoulder the size of your pinky. PT's can help you strengthen those instead of the delt. Trust me there is a difference.
FYI, my hunting partner and I have killed quite a few elk with 53# recurves, 125 grain Muzzys and Slick Tricks, and a total arrow/broadhead package of around 450 grains. Your Infinite Edge at your draw weight is probably a more efficient bow than what we're shooting.
Have 10 yrd range at work so I shoot every other day on breaks.
I will got back to the archery range tomorrow and shoot them at 20 yrds and if they fly nice I'll go out to the woods Wed and play with them out to 30 yrds an 40 yrds.
thanks for the ideas. Diane
When shot they are going into the target deeper and still hitting straight in, no tail high or low and no left or right this is at 10 yrds. Will go and shoot at 20 yrds tomorrow and see what they do.
Will go look for the red stuff at some other stores so I can try it. Got lots of arrows to play with. Found out I had a fair amount of cam lean took me a while to figure it out but got the lean reduced and the bow performance increased.
Thanks for everyone's help Diane
+1 JohnB.
But this is a much lighter draw than I like. I honestly thought I would be shooting my 55# Darton Fury by now. I have that one dialed in and have killed whitetails and bear with it. With the limb bolts backed out it still 50# and I can't draw it.
I like trying different ideas to get the final results I want. The increasing the arrow weight is a good one and easy to do with weed eater line, rope or just increasing tip weight. So thank you to everyone who gave me ideas to work with.
The tag is any elk so if one comes within my shooting zone with the right angle it's going to be taken.
If I get one I will post pictures. What a Wizard's Prank.
Thanks Diane
