I was shooting just now. Heard the unmistakable flutter of a fletch that came loose in flight. It actually was embedded in the block.

Flimsy little blazer going fast enough to stick in the block!

Which bow?

That was with the Elite bow, I sent the Trijicon sight on the SWBXT in for repair so it's resting right now.

I have another MBG sight as a spare I put on the SWBXT for fun, but it's not really dialed in perfectly yet.

That photo would be a great one for an Ad to sell bows for Elite.

I say I cant wait till my new bow gets here. But Im dreading watching my old tired block target trying to stop 435 grains of pain at over 300fps. I see a Rinehart or HIPS in my future.

If all four arrows were shot from the same bow I'd say you have a soft (shot out) spot in your block.

I've got one of each of these and they've both been great.

It's a couple weeks old

My shooting is shared across a dozen targets on my 3D range.

I beat a block target to death tuning bows. So its got to handle the beating. And the block black just didnt impress
