How did you get the speed at 100 yards? Did you use one of those ballistic calculators for bullets? I have always wondered just how much an arrow slows down down range. I thought that it would slow down more than that though. Good to know.
Which broadhead are you going to use? The planing problem I mentioned earlier was more of a problem in years past because of the larger size broadheads like Bears, and Zwickeys. Both heads work great but you can't shoot them very fast. Now days you have smaller profile heads like Wac'ems, and the Nitron and I have heard that they won't take off on you. I shoot the G5 Montecs and have not had a problem with them but I wa sonly shooting around 270 fps last year. I just made some more changes to my set up and it's faster now but I have not shot it through a chrono yet. Not sure if I'm going to leave it at 70# or not I'm just experimenting with my sights and trying some new things. I set up my sight for 25, 40, and 50. So far it works pretty neat. You basicaly have a close pin, far pin, and realy far pin.
If you have access to the base or wilde arrow archery, they are having a shoot at the Hill archery range in may.
