[QUOTE="Harold Money jr, post: 5157503, member: 4591"] I’ve always liked most of the technical side of archery. A LOT of it is completely unnecessary. But, it’s fun to tinker. The reason people shoot such heavy weight inserts is they have to, to get a more forgiving light carbon arrow and to help meet weight and spine goals. It also helps push the big mechanicals deeper into deer. My .02 worth is after killing dozens of deer with a recurve and compound is you want the arrow through the lungs and out the other side. The thing that took me the longest to learn was that a bigger cut does not mean a bit on blood trail distance. I’m talking 1”-2” cut. I actually prefer the smaller cuts ( 1 1/8”) nowadays. They generally walk or trot off instead of tearing out and running like crazy for the same 4-10 secs that the big mechanicals and even cut on contact broad heads. I will say after having trouble on a couple blood trails I don’t like narrow 2 blades. I know some do but I want 3-4 blades personally. You can get as technical as you want!! Good luck to all this season. [/QUOTE]
