[Re: Brother in-law]       #450332 - 06/29/08 09:54 PM Edit   Reply   Quote   Quick Reply   I just started shooting them this year. I have not stuck anything with them other than the target. Previously I was shooting Easton Epics (not ST, just plain Epic). The Full Metal Jackets get about 3"-5" more penetration on my target at 20-30yds. So far I like them. -------------------- "The better you become, the more people try to find something wrong with you." -Unknown Post Extras:       Brother in-law Extreme Tracker Reged: 07/08/07 Posts: 4223 Re: Anyone shooting full metal jackets by Easton?

[Re: 7mag]       #450400 - 06/29/08 11:18 PM Edit   Reply   Quote   Quick Reply   I was shooting light epics with 75 grain broadheads. When I started I was shooting about 50# draw. I am now shooting close to 70# and just needed heavier arrows and I went to 100grain tips. For me I had to get new arrows anyways so money was going to be spent one way or another. As for screw in and go...anytime you change a factor such as arrows you need to retune your bow to ensure accuracy and safety. -------------------- "The better you become, the more people try to find something wrong with you." -Unknown Edited by kuntry_kid (06/30/08 10:26 PM) Post Extras:       AdgerC15 Tracker Reged: 10/22/07 Posts: 986 Re: Anyone shooting full metal jackets by Easton?
