    Good evening people.

    I've been browsing the forum for sometime and figured it was time to join up.

    Bow = Mathews Heli-M ~63lbs 28" draw.
    Arrows = Beman ICS Hunter
    Broadheads = Grim reaper Mathews Edition / Whitetail 100gr


    Previous bow = Darton SL50, 47lbs, no clue what draw (2 deer down with it last season)

    I mainly hunt in the suburbs of Virginia in back yards of friends and such. This year I was granted access to a 280 acre property of hardwoods in the suburbs and looking forward to learning on it.

    Hello and welcome!

    How do you like those arrows? I just got some with my bow this year - and have only target shot with them.

    I like the arrows a lot. I've put two through deer and they held up great. I've only broken 1 on a deer and that was because I hit shoulder/leg.

    I've shot the fletchings off a few of them and used NAP Quickfletch and that seams to be working well for target practice so far.

    Thanks for the answer. Mine right now have a 40# max, but I may bump up to next weight group. I will have to try them this season.
