[QUOTE="bigmo101, post: 439400, member: 12696"] I agree with heavier arrows. It makes a world of difference. I shoot around a 480 gr arrow. I've taken some long range shots on animals and I really believe that a heavy arrow made the difference. Another critical aspect is the sight. I personally like the Sure Loc lethal weapon max on the Spot Hogg Boss Hogg. This allows multiple pins on the closer ranges and be able to pick the yard according to your rangefinder. So if the rangefinder says 97 yds, you set it to 97 yds. I also got used to using an anchor point that is lower on my face than most allowing me to have the peep sight higher on the string therefore get more range. I also like bows with at least a 7 in brace height. I know a few guys with the X force. They seemed to have accuracy issues. I'm not saying they're bad bows but that bow is definitely not for beginners... well I guess neither is the long range shooting of archery tackle. I will say I do know some guys that shoot the heck out of the X forces too. Another aspect I find critical is using a rangefinder with angle compensation. I personally use the OptiLogic rangefinder. They haven't let me down yet. I don't get to hung up on speed. I'll take forgiving over speed any day. Just my .02! [/QUOTE]
