[QUOTE="shortpants, post: 500261, member: 30564"] I am new to the equipment side but not archery hunting. Been doing it for 17 years but have always just taken the words of the guys at the shop and some friends who have shot competitively. I am going to go to the shop I trust but for a change would like to go in with some ideas so that I know I'm getting whats best for me. I was thinking of fletching a few with 4'', a few fobs, and a few blazers to see what works best. When it comes to selecting a shaft I just don't know what makes one so much better and more expensive than another. Somebody explained the spline thing to me years ago but my memory is short so could you explain it to me again. I sure appreciate the education! Jason P.S. My bow is set up for elk with 3-60/340 Superlite ACC's with a 28'' knock to insert length weighing just over 400gr. right now. I was thinking I should go lighter for antelope but you say heavier is better. I consider my current setup being neither heavy or light but somewhere in between. I think they are shooting around 270fps. if I remember right. I used to shoot Redline 410's @ 302fps and was trying to get back to somewhere around there or better. I shoot a Hoyt Xtec at 70lbs. Do you think I should go lighter to try and gain some speed or would I be better off staying with my current setup? My pins are bottomed out at 73 yards and I can shoot that far accurately but want to push my limits farther. I am going to a single pin adjustable sight. [/QUOTE]
