I marked the bolt and after about 20 shots it backs out about an 1/8 turn. I even put a nylon bolt in the side to lock it and it still moves. Anybody else having this problem?

So been shooting now for about 3 years and finaly figured out that i am left eye dominate, shooting right handed. The problem lies with being able to see my target just fine but as far as pins go, there lies the issue. Im going to a some archery shops to check out getting varifiers, since they are designed for pin shooters or so i am told. Dang should have seen it coming. Btw, left handed shooting is not an option lmao. ]]> Off Topic Forum bigredhunter00 http://martinarchery.com/mtechforum/showthread.php?24569-More-money!!!!

Anyone know if the "field test" for speed is close to an accurate assessment to give you a ballpark figure?

Stickem has some really nice tools there, just wondering how accurate some of those assessments can be. I don't have all the tools to be able to measure everything exactly, but if something like this is close that would be able to leave me with an idea of what the bows are doing. ]]> Martin Tech Forum droppixel http://martinarchery.com/mtechforum/showthread.php?24568-Archery-Calculators <![CDATA[Martin Archery's official response to the 'PolKat 9000']]> http://martinarchery.com/mtechforum/showthread.php?24567-Martin-Archery-s-official-response-to-the-PolKat-9000&goto=newpost Wed, 16 May 2012 14:34:51 GMT Attachment 6497 (http://martinarchery.com/mtechforum/attachment.php?attachmentid=6497) Name: frustrated.jpg Views: 51 Size: 34.5 KB

Joel was away in meetings, and Brandon stepped in and took care of a bow that had been "lost". Got it back yesterday, and this thing is a shooter now. 2008 Firecat updated to 2012. They did their typical great job, and a VERY fast turn around time once the bow was "found".

Just recently I was going crazy with fletching flying off left and right, I mean flying off in mid air. I was preparing the arrow the same way as ever; 1. Strip damaged fletching with a serrated end of a knife (this is like an Ez striper tool), 2. I then lightly sand with very low abrasive sandpaper on the shaft to clean them up, 3. Clean arrow shaft and fletching with alcohol 86% to get all excess materials off. Using and AZ Ez-Fletch mini right helical turn tool and Goat Tuff Premium glue. I then let hang for about 5 minutes and then remove and wait 24hr before I would shoot them. I have always used Blazer and or AAE Max Hunter. Currently I'm shooting Easton Axis End-Fused 340 with AAE Max hunters. Up to this point I have never had a problem with fletching since God was a Corporal. I tried changing the process, adding to much/too little glue, washing with soap, using and hair dyer to dry shafts, reading articles and Tech Form's, trying other process. I was just about to give up; I order some new glue from AAE. I had no more options. "Well Walla that worked". The funny thing is that I was at my local archery shop and telling the story when the store owner told me that Goat Tuff called his store and told him that they had bad lot # of glue. After checking the serial #'s on the bottle I was using, well YEP I had one of those lot #'s. The store owner gave me a new bottle of glue. Goat Tuff told him that every once in a while they will have a bad lot of glue and or the glue gets too old. So the moral of the story now is, don't buy big boltless of glue that will site around a long time. I also like the AAE product better know.... So don't give up. ]]> Martin Tech Forum Tosi http://martinarchery.com/mtechforum/showthread.php?24561-Fletching-issues What speeds are you getting with a 2012 onza?? http://martinarchery.com/mtechforum/showthread.php?24560-What-speeds-are-you-getting-with-a-2012-onza&goto=newpost Tue, 15 May 2012 18:59:13 GMT what kinda speeds are all you getting with your 2012 onzas dw dl and arrow weight included just curious as to what im gettin. what kinda speeds are all you getting with your 2012 onzas dw dl and arrow weight included just curious as to what im gettin. ]]> WildWilt15 http://martinarchery.com/mtechforum/showthread.php?24560-What-speeds-are-you-getting-with-a-2012-onza Grim reaper broadheads http://martinarchery.com/mtechforum/showthread.php?24559-Grim-reaper-broadheads&goto=newpost Tue, 15 May 2012 18:02:55 GMT Hey guys,
Been a while since I've been on here. Got another boy added to the growing family, and that puts a dampner on my time on line.
Anyway, I'm currently using x system broadheads, cant remember who makes them, but anyway its a fixed 2 blade, with 2 blades that come out as a mechanical. So its a hybrid. Shot a small deer at 10 yds, died with in eye sight maybe 60 yds away. Huge hole, no blood trail cause it was raining.
So I love how it kills, but i had to change my rest, and tune and do a bunch of crazy stupid things to my bow to get them to group, and they never did group with my field tips. (i dont want help tuning my bow so try and keep those tips off the thread). I'm a hopeless tinkererererererer, and am thinking of switching to the new grim reaper 3 blade white tail special with a 2" cut. I want them to fly like my field tips no muss no fuss.
My bow is a bowtech ( I know I know not a martin, long story behind it), 320gr arrow, going 275 fps, 55lbs roughly of kinetch energy last time I calculated it. ( I have super short t rex arms 26" draw, and shoot 54 lbs comfortably)
Anyway all that long background to say do you think i have enough ke to get pass throughs?
thanks for the advice. ]]> Bowhunting Forum Ford http://martinarchery.com/mtechforum/showthread.php?24559-Grim-reaper-broadheads Anyone seen Neil? http://martinarchery.com/mtechforum/showthread.php?24558-Anyone-seen-Neil&goto=newpost Tue, 15 May 2012 17:57:13 GMT Has anyone seen or heard from Neil as of late? been a while sence I have seen him post on here or AT, just wondering how he is doing.
