    The arrows look great Sam.

    I too use an Az mini and love it. I am a big fan of the Loctite Ultra gel super glue though. I have been fletching arrows for 20 years and tried more glues than I can remember. This stuff works great and I can buy it anywhere and not worry about finding a shop open.

    I shoot everyday except when the weather is really bad (like -14 last week). I have a 50 yard range set up in my side woods. I do not shoot groups, arrows are too expensive LOL.

    Thanks man. I will Always flex my own arrows from now on! Thanks for that advice. That is awesome. On the video I saw on Youtube, Loctite performed best with wrapped arrows. I don't shoot groups either once I have my bow sighted in. I shoot lighted nocks and they are expensive. I practice with the Rage practice heads all the time and it doesn't take much too hit the nock of another arrow. Every now and then I will drive one next to the previous one just to see how tight my arrows are shooting.

    Once you start shooting long distance you want to keep doing it, it's pretty fun and you then push to see how far you can shoot at and be accurate.

    Shot Saturday. Only out to 30. Having to get use to my bow with a target stabilizer set up. Need a little weight out back.

    Shot great at first. Slapping shafts at 30yd then groups started suffering. I have to get back to shooting every few days and back out to long distances.

    Nice job on the arrows! . . They look great!

    Give it a try!

    The first time I shot at 60 yards, I had my wife to stand away from me and watch where the arrow goes in case I missed the target! :)

    I like to put a balloon on my target when I shoot past 40 yards! . . That's better than a dot on a target!

    SPOTnSTALK is shooting at 72 yards! :D . . I may try that distance this weekend!

    Better start practicing so you can drop some arrows in when we shoot long distance at the G2G. :tu:

    I got some new arrows today. Custom dipped and crested piledriver ptxs. Great arrows. Anyway like any normal bowhunter the first thing I did was paper tune them. Perfect bullet hole first shot. Shot a couple more though paper and they were are bullet holes. :D
    So then I get out to my range and start shooting, 20, 30, and 40 yards. Perfect shots. So I go back to 70, three arrows 2.5in group! Right where I wanted them.
    This was before I even set a sitetape for them. I love new gear :D

    Three rounds three arrows at twenty yards. I just increased the weight on my bow so I'm sighting back in. Not quite as tight of a grouping as I want, but with more practice and building them muscles back up, I should be fine for deer season in either August or November.

    What is your set up that helps you get that far out?
