    Just got that kit yesterday, the brace measured 5.5" out of the box - 50# bow - should I still be shooting for around 8"? Great review, thank you 🙏

    • @trad_root
      @trad_root 2 месяца назад

      @NewLife-qj9mx I found that between 7.75" and 8" was where mine likes to be with the new string i made. The recommended brace is 7.5"--8.5" according to the website. 5.5" to me is really short. Try twisting the string up and see if you can get it closer to 7.5" at least. The supplied bowstring may just be too long. For a 60in bow the string should be around 56-57in.

    I liked these arrows so much that I chopped them up with my tomahawk and threw them in the trash. My new 500sp Gold Tip Warriors shoot 100% better. I want to re-tiller my X8 to have even tiller. Should shoot better and quieter with my 3-under.

      I will be cutting the fletch off of one of the kit supplied arrows and bare shafting and changing the point weights. I would like to see if i can get them to fly better with some tweaking. The idea was to see if the bow out of the box was good enough for a beginner to start with. I would recomend the bow, not so much anything else that comes in the kit.
