    Of course, they look pretty much like they did before. I re-wrapped and re-fletched them all last night and put 50 grain weights behind the inserts and installed the pin nocks and adapters. On the way home from work I picked up my bow after having a new string and cables put on and got to shoot them through the chronograph. 258 FPS. When I got home I started re-sighting the bow in. I'm telling you, this is some beautiful arrow flight and they pack a whallop. I was pumped to find out that I only lost 12 FPS after adding 56.2 grains. Anyway, as I said - here they are:
    Gold Tip Pro Hunters in Hardwoods HD - 28", 125 grain points w/50 grain weight added, 531 grains total weight, 258 FPS, 78.5 ft. lbs. KE with lots of momentum out of my Drenalin @ 71#. :cool:
    Not exactly sure about the FOC %. I thought it was going to be 15.9%, but the wraps and double-dogs are going to reduce that. Can anyone give me the method for determining FOC?

    Yes I did. I actually made that back in 2007 - same year I got the bow. I love wood-working.

    I do a little here and there. Mostly remodel projects in my house. I just finished doing some tounge and groove around the bottom of one of our bathroom walls with chair rail. It is aged pine Thats around 15-20 years old. I believe it was made to be used on a ceiling but, looks awesome on a wall especially aged and leaving it natural. I know this isnt about bow hunting but, do you know of anywhere I can get good plans to make a flag box I guess you would call it. I want to make and finish one for my Grandfathers flag from his casket. PM me if you do know.

    Do a Google search for shadow box plans. That ought to get you exactly what you need.

    You can find these exact arrow wraps and many other choices here:
    http://www.onestringer.com/index.php?page=mods/Products/showprod&catid=25

    If you add three white blazers and a white nock you'll never have any need for a lighted nock. It's very easy to see your arrow flight and point of impact with these. It's the single, most important reason mine are all white. I always know exactly where my arrow hit the deer, and that's some real good info to have after the shot. :)
