Today I decided to tune in my old CarbonTech 240 arrows due to the fact I trashed most of my Rhinos yesterday chasing Rabbits. I spent about 30 mins. paper tuning with bare shafts, fletched field points and fletched broad heads. The bare shafts were bullet holing and the fletched shafts had slight upward tears that I don't mind.

Anyhow, I went out to my local informal range (old golf course) and set about re sighting for the different arrows. The Cobra adjustable only needed the yardage tape moving slightly down and the job was done.

Here's the results of No. 4 and 5 in the series of practice arrows. Perfect full length split in three.

I am quite pleased with the way the arrows are flying:D, I'm not real happy about loosing $12 worth of arrow and $9 in the broad head:mad:.

Them's the breaks. I'll suck it up!

Dale, should send that to Myth Busters, they did a test based on robin hooding and trying to split arrows with broadheads and recon it can't be done.

They used wooden arrow sirs (cedar to be exact). Because of the way the grain runs they reckon it cant be done. IMO they are a couple idiots anyways.
Nice shooting...
