My current draw length is 28". But I am not sure I would be a good candidate for you, I shoot an old switchback arround the 65 lbs, and limit my shouting at 30 m ish ( except for a cat shot a 45 m last year;-). I use a whisper biscuit.

Hey Friwi cheers for the reply champ ..do you know the length between you whisker rest and string (nock groove) at full draw ..if it is greater than 26" (66cm) might pose a problem for accuracy ..but then again if you only shooting around the 30m mark shouldn't pose to much of a problem ..

the bow is fine as I have shot it out of my Bowtech fuel as well @ 70lbs with the same results ..plus the whisker biscuit will be a great test for fletching (glue adhesion) ..how often do you get out? And when your out hunting do you have a posey that claims great success?? Only reason why I ask is for results bud to see if they are a good build or not ..

Personally I know they are awesome flyers (as the vid demonstrates) but wanting feed back on deer recovery ..how they performed in the field as I cannot get out all the time (even though would love too) because of varying other commitments ..wanting someone to test it sooner than later if you catch my drift ..

Hi kiwi ninja, I am getting my bow back from a full restring next week. To I ll take a look at those measurements and report to you. I will definitely be out most weekends during the roar. I will also go on a fallow place around the 10 th of March for some action. I usually shoot a 340 shaft with 125 muzzy.

The only problem with helix heads is bloodtrail isn't the greatest. But if you are one to smash through bone to get the spot you want to hit they can't be beaten. They absolutely tear bone apart.

Someone got your tune up on the bow right from the start as binary cams can be a bitch sometimes to get good broadhead flight. I'm a big fan of bowtechs overdrive binary cam system for that reason.

Hey my bro ..KiwiMaoriBoii69 (archery talk) here ..mean to see you comment on this post dude and give you impressions on the helix ..I'm a fan of the wasp fixed blades ..only owned the hammer broadhead but realise the rest would be just as pin point accurate ..also would def like to check out the grim reaper but was keen on seeing how these pan out ..I cannot get out as much as I would like so trying to put it out there to see how they go ..loving the Deer crossing SD hunter shafts as I have owned axis as well ..what you shooting anyway ..whole set up that is

I've gone away from the goodies bro. Shooting compound barebow these days (ala Tim wells) ive had to many bows lol I just got some of those sika stopper arrows to trial out. So if you want to have a jam on those give me a yell. Same diameter as the SD hunters.
