I feel for you. I'll bet you won't even be able to hit the center of the target for fear the next arrow will cost you $17 bucks when you robbinhood it.:wink:

I didn't even think of a robin hood costing twice as much!!!!! Aww crap!
I better order the pin nocks and bushings.
And I thought walking 90yds for 6-9 arrows was too much walking. Now I'm going to be walking after every shot.
I won't even shoot the 90yds because a miss puts the arrow into the metal desk we use to break apart our bullets so they don't ricochet out of the hill. I'm going to need a bigger target for long distance.
What size and length?
I may not be able to handle the pressure of shooting arrows this expensive. If I can't take it you may get first call.
I was already seriously thinking of only building 3-5 and saving the rest.

The Bengal is doing great on targets, http://www.archerytalk.com/vb/showthread.php?t=361029 and speed http://www.archerytalk.com/vb/showthread.php?t=359821 . I'd be afraid to shoot two of these arrows in the same county with that bow. Busted a swagged nock just setting my 30yd pin yesterday, that would be $17.50 with these arrows, and was banging arrows together setting the 40yd pin.joelc said:
If I'm doing that with an overdraw and beat up old aluminum arrows that never started out better than .003" there's no way I could afford to shoot .001" carbons out of it.
I was recently complaining because I have to buy another pack of swagged nocks because of the Bengal. (I've got Scottish blood
)The Bengal got all my tried and true hunting accessories and heavy arrows and I decided to dedicate my PhantomII Nitrous to targets and set it up with light arrows.

I feel your pain
I switched to Carbon Tech and they are quite expensive as well. Now I don't clean my bow after shooting I throw it in the case and leave it until I shoot again. I do however take my arrows in and clean them off and hang them up and I think I've even caught myself talking to them. :embara:

I work on other people's expensive crap all the time.
I can't believe how nervous I got making these arrows.
2 more to go to get 6 finished. So far out of the 4 the finished arrows are +/- .5gr.
In about 1 1/2 hours I should be shooting, but not for groups. 20yds would be way too risky.
Maybe I'll shoot for groups at 70yds when it cools off. I'm fairly sure I can hit the target and fairly hopeful I won't group too tight at 70yds.
