    Bowtech didn't "crush" Athens Archery, the wound was self inflicted. Everyone knew they were going to get sued for patent infringement when that system came out. If your going to take the risk, then you better have the capital to defend yourself in court. Bad business decision on AA's end.

    @williambowfishing have to cut it down, cause it’s far to long. I found another micro diameter arrow that fits down the shaft perfectly, it should make up for what we need to cut off the front. If we can’t get it to fly, our mission is off. Not making an animal the joke of an experiment, we going to play hard with this before we go to the bush.

    You should check out the Ashby bow hunting foundations arrow speed calculator. It lines up right there with the speeds you were getting for a PSE omen with a 27.5” draw length and a 2050 gr arrow. If you’re chasing a specific speed, momentum, or K.E. For an arrow build that tool will get you very close with minimal tinkering

    You could have easily used Firenock aero inserts on both ends of your arrow which are actually designed to be inserted in epoxied inside the front and or back of an arrow not necessarily for the purpose of weight but for stability, but it would’ve worked for adding weight. Which would have helped you add more weight to the back of the arrow and not so much to the front. Especially if you used his lighted knock components they also would’ve helped add weight to the back of the arrow.
