    Yea. Whatever the length of the stock shafts were, I just matched with the 250's when I cut them.

    BigAl, The Hickory Creek can be tuned just like a traditional compound bow therefore you should be able to shoot any fixed blade broadhead. I currently shoot a 170 grain fixed blade with a 100 grain insert and 250 spine shaft and hit dead on alongside my field points out to 50 yards. No...

    Heavy arrow bone breaking results on large deer

    Years ago when I was a very dedicated bowhunter and way before the ranch fairy, I shot a hybrid longbow 56 lbs at 28 inch draw and 650 grain arrow at around 160-170 fps with a grizzly single bevel broadhead. That bow was whisper quiet and the arrow passed through almost every deer I shot. I...

    Hickory Creek Koolaid

    Hey folks, I just finally became a member after lurking for a long time. I drank the kool aid about a month ago. My mini didn't shoot well right out of the box. It hit about 2 feet high at 20 yards and well right. I had accuracy problems until I added a lock nut to the front and then groups...
