Hickory Creek Koolaid

Looking to do a 250 spine arrow build this offseason for the Mini. Any suggestions? Or anyone have any they’re willing to part with? Probably start with half a dozen. Would like to keep same standard arrow diameter .244”.

Get on here or archery talk and find someone who wanted to make adult arrows and cut some 250 spine to 26.3468286” and realized they sucked for their bow. No one wants to pay them close to full price so you can likely get em for half to third of cost new. You’ll have to choose to refletch or reinsert. But you’ll come out ahead one way or another.

Pick a flavor. The mini doesn’t care. That’s the point of it! Square both ends and get to shootin
 
FWIW, I tried the red dot and it cost me a nice buck this fall.

Nothing wrong with it from an accuracy standpoint, but the limb being in the sight picture robbed me of shooting light late in the evening, so I switched back to a better scope than the one it comes with. I get at least 10-15 more minutes to shoot that way.

The Crimson Trace I used is in the classified for what I paid if anyone is looking for one to try on the cheap.

Same here. Planning on putting the stock scope back on next season, or if I can afford it, a hawke, etc.

I find it's not necessarily the light transmission limits of the red dot, it's the blocked sight picture. Much better to see the whole critter.

What scope did you use?
 
I had a Simmons Prostaff 1x5 laying around and put it on. At 4 or 5x, the focal point is beyond the limb so you don’t see it in the scope. I can still see it if I turn it down lower though.
