I know I'm cutting it a little close getting a new arrow setup when it's darn near the end of July, but this is the USofA, greatest country in the universe
The 2 options I'm looking at. All input is welcome. I'm shooting a Bear Escape 29.5 inch draw 70lbs.
Disclaimer: I ain't no rocket surgeon. And I haven't really gone down the arrow rabbit hole but I walked past it and saw something shiny so here we are...
Option 1
A setup that allows me to set 1 pin and hit everything out to 30 yards.
This option is what I would prefer because it would take the guess work out of what pin to use when it's crunch time. I try to setup within 20 yards of where I think my shots will be and half a$$ keep 30 as my limit. I'll shoot out to 40 if condition are right but that's rare and I try to stay ethical.
What would a setup like this look like arrow wise? Is it pretty general or are there specifics?
Option 2
That stinking heavy arrow build that I hear alot about.
I really don't want to tackle this just 6 weeks before bear season opens, but shooting at bears it would be sweet to have a setup that is beefy.
What I wonder about the heavy arrow setup is are you using multiple pins say 20-30-40-50? Or are you able to achieve the same 1 pin for out to 30 yards?
I only shoot fixed broadheads. Haven't had good luck with the mechanicals. Also would like to get into sharpening my broadheads (sounds like something fun to tinker with) so if you have any comments on that please do.
