[QUOTE="Twanger, post: 713293, member: 43393"] I'll have to weigh some of the standard PSE arrows and see what the variability is in the arrows I'm receiving. My Tac15i has an aftermarket 3.5# Timney trigger, an HHA Speed Dial, and standard Whisker Biscuit rest. At 50 yards it is shooting standard arrows through the same hole on occasion. Sub-one-inch groups are expected and generally accomplished. I don't shoot at the same spot at 50 yards anymore because I don't want to damage arrows - it's virtually a certainty if I do. This is better than a lot of 'off-the-shelf' guns. The standard arrows shoot 2.5-3" groups at 100 yards.(for me). Note that the arrows are dropping by about 2-inches per yard at this range, so if your range estimation in a hunting situation is off by 2-3 yards you will miss your target by 4-6 inches. This is a very practical limitation on field use. In addition, my ability to get broadheads to fly accurately, my ability to get a solid rest under field conditions, the repeatability of the speed-dial (all mechanical systems have hysteresis and variability), and my ability to get a range estimate on moving animals are factors that cause greater uncertainty in the result of the shot than the standard PSE arrow matching produces.(my $0.02) So. For the type of hunting I do, on deer at ranges generally under 60 yards, all of this tells me that the standard PSE arrows are more than up to the drill. For me. In summary, the arrow performance has not been the weak link - for me. Your results may differ. If you're trying to accomplish some other goal, perhaps tighter arrows matching is for you. The benefit depends on how good the remainder of your system is. [/QUOTE]
