As some of you know, I picked up my first compound bow a few weeks ago, and finally got it back a couple days ago. I was hoping to get some help from the archery shop, but they didn't seem too interested in helping a newbie..
I have four Carbon Express speed freak 55/70 arrows that came with the bow. 30" and weighs 9.7gpi. I think they group well, though i've only shot it out to 15-20 yards, and won't be taking any shots past 15 yards. I picked up some 100gr muzzy mx3 broadheads to hunt with. The draw weight is "a little under 70", and he didn't know what draw length is because it isn't adjustable...
Someone mentioned to me I should get arrows labeled 65/80 because its an older bow, and they're better with heavier arrows. I see some 65/80 arrows weighing less than mine, which had me confused. Not sure if the 55/70 and 65/80 is a recommendation on spine or weight.
My goal with this bow is to be proficient with it at <20 yards to hunt white tail.
