I'm gonna pass on this for now. I appreciate the offer but I just have too much going on right now and I don't wan't to hold them up for anybody else that's waiting for them. Besides that my arrows are flying soooo good right now. Thanks guys :)

Are you sure? There is only two of y'all left on the list and we have three kits floating around. I'll take you off if you're sure.

As long as no one is gonna be left hanging. I might have them for a couple of weeks or so before I get around to using them.

I don't see any harm unless we just out of nowhere get tons of folks wanting to join in. I'll just bump you down for now. Like I said there is only 2 people left on the list right now.
 
If it’s not too late, I’d love to get in on this. No rush for me, as I need a bit of time to save up some dough to buy whatever broadheads and field points the testing suggests. Thanks!
 
Dang I wish I would've seen this sooner. Just ordered them last week. Once I'm done with them I'll post them up. Great idea to the original poster.

I just received the kit from @131north I have some new arrows coming in next week and then I’ll turn them around to the next person.

Can someone tell me if there is two of each weight in this kit or is every one different? I didn’t have much time to look at them but it wasn’t evident of the weight of each. How much do the collars weigh?

I know I could look this up on the website but I prefer Saddlehunter.com conversation over research.

I think is the same type kit. Thanks for the clarification.

Did any of you want to share what your set ups came out to be? I’d be interested to hear the following:

Bow
Bow #
Draw length
Arrow
Arrow length
Arrow spine
Tip weight

I know there are variations in arrow weight and insert weight to achieve the same overall weight but for now I’m just curious what flew well bareshaft while testing. During this I assume most people are using standard inserts etc.

2 of each weight, like the others said. 225gr was the sweet spot for me, shooting 60# on 29" draw. I wanted the heaviest ones to work but I'm under-spined I think. Only 330 spine, if I remember correctly. I wanted to use a 200gr samurai so at least it validated that I can pull that off.
 
Done with the kit. Started building my arrows. I messaged @DroptineKrazy and I’ll send it his way when he responds.
 
My set up
300 spine GT Hunter XT
69# bow
29.5” draw
30.25” arrow
100 grain brass insert
150 grain broad head/field tip
Brings me to somewhere around 525-550 grains

Also bought a tap and die kit and fixed the 200 grain broad heads in @Exhumis kit :)
