    New arrow setup

    I’d go with a 340 spine, hit insert (choose weight for desired total weight), and a titanium collar for durability.

    Best sight?

    +1 here used a hogg father past 8 years. The scale makes it easy to find a tape and get it better than you can shoot. Wish more hunting sights had a scale. Would benefit a lot of people.

    San Diego Home Costs whoosh!!!

    According to county I live in my home value is up 100% in 6 years for what they think it’s worth and are attempting to tax me on.

    TAC Short Axle to Axle

    Usually they will have one at 130 ish. We shot it for 160 as there was room to shoot without walking all the way up to the shooting stake. I shoot TAC because it’s fun to shoot far.

    TAC Short Axle to Axle

    The only change I make for TAC I use a light arrow to maximize sight clearance. Last time I shot one had 160 yards on my sight tape and used it. That was with a 31” ATA bow. Since then I have a 33” hunting bow I will take to take with 373gr arrows for the same reason. I hunt with a 500gr arrow...

    How much does grain weight affect trajectory

    Not until further distances. My TAC arrows 375gr vs hunting 500gr fly nearly the same 20-40.

    Help me understand Vanes. AIRAZR vs. Max Stealth.

    As Billy said quieter and no primer pen. A soft vane that flexes in flight is louder. See the silent knight sk200 those make blazers sound like a whisper. I haven’t got any to try out yet as I still have a lot of hybrid 26s. Once I run out I’ll get them a try.

    Best out of box accurate 6.5prc?

    Here’s the only picture I have with two in the same hole. This was good enough for me at 200 as it has proven itself at 1,000 yards many times since then. I only answered OP question. Note I did not pay full price for rifle. It was on sale. My last rifle wasn’t even a fierce, I won a custom 7PRC...

    Best out of box accurate 6.5prc?

    I haven’t shot paper since setting it up. As stated I’m not a rifle guy so it was damn impressive zeroing it at 200 yards to see that. Rifle and hornady ammo both off the shelf. My wife first time EVER shooting a rifle and she was 5/5 at 500 yards banging steel on the side of the mountain. My...

    Best out of box accurate 6.5prc?

    At 200 yards holes touching. I’d say it’s better than 1/2 MOA. But what do I know. I’m Joe six pack not even a rifle guy. Don’t own a set of cAliPErs.

    Best out of box accurate 6.5prc?

    For me was a fierce edge from cabelas. It shoots 1/4 MOA.

    The original victory rip is really dang good

    I’ve seen great results from testing on the V3 I wouldn’t have any issue shooting them. The standard 60gr stainless is decent. Most builds I have people wanting HIT with collars still, but several guys use the 60gr stainless and have done better than I would have expected.

    PSE Xpedite NXT, tight spot 7 arrow, 7 victory RIP SS, 125gr heads, hogg father double pin, 15” front with 6oz and 10 degree down, bowfinger back bar mount and 12” with 3 ounces, hamskea trinity rest, handles raptor peep. Didn’t weigh it until recently as was just curious. I use whatever...

    Arrow Build

    Id go with a 250 spine RIP TKO or SS. Use a standard or aluminum hit insert along with a titanium collar and 100gr head. That arrow setup is the most durable I’ve seen. As others have noted I’d cut your arrow shorter as well. Im 29.5” draw with 27.5” arrows. Here’s a picture of my elk arrow...
