Went to HomeDepot today found some 1/4" tubing and a narrow steel rod that fit perfectly in the tube. This should add weight to my arrow.

Sliced the tubing right down the middle and trimmed off a little bit more so that it would fit inside my Beeman ICS 400's. Cut 6 pieces of tubing 26" long. Cut the steel rods down to 26" also. Shoved it inside the Beeman loaded it on my bow shot into the McKenzie compressed target @ 10 ft. Blased right through the center of it and ended up in the wall of my apartment. Going over to a friends house this afternoon to weigh this arrow with his grain scale, put it on the chrono. I am guessing I may be getting about 200 FPS but if its 1200 gr arrow it will be like launching a missle through a rabbit.

The only problem I have is the FOC is almost dead center with a 125 gr. tip. Anyone ever use small lock washers to add more front end weight. I have on backorder G5 Shkote's 170 gr. Mr. Hog does not have a chance.

I'm going to field test these 2 arrows tomorrow out to 30 yds. What am I going after? Not really sure just got bored and played with arrows. I also found they have insulation in a can. Yep you guessed it. I filled an arrow with one to see what kind of weight and flight this sucker will produce.

If they can't fly beyond 20 yds they are worth a thing. But I was amazed at how it peformed at 10 feet. If I they do fly well I will be hunting everyting on my small lease with them. None of my shots on that lease is beyond 25 yds. As for west texas - I'll stick to my Bowtech that flings a 340 gr. arrow at 284 fps. I need the extra speed and distance.
