Pretty amusing thread.
Anybody on this site saying they shoot 2" at 50 with regularity is full of shit; doesn't matter what's on the pointy end. 15 arrows into 3" at 55 "with regularity" will get you a contract worth about $200,000.

Says the guy from VA to the guy from AL.
Nope I know I'm for sure not wrong. However you dont mean near enough to me to waste a bunch of time proving you said those things buy going back and re-reading months of threads.
Just saying the guys that talk the most BS are the last to actually put up their skills or lack there of. There are some nationally ranked archers on here and state champs you disagree with what they say on the regular. They just dont flaunt their skills and wins on here because when you do you will for sure have a bad day of shooting and look like a complete jackass.
You cared enough to make the claims. Lol. I only give my experiences that I’ve had. I can’t help that those experiences don’t mirror yours.
@N2TRKYS here is what it amounts to. It seems the advice you give here is to not follow the advice of others. I'll be the first to admit that I go down worm holes in anything related to archery, and I take things way further than they need to go for most. However many with experience know that some things do matter. Several of us put a lot of work into our archery, likely the same that you do your turkey hunting. Problem is you make claims that I would think have to be a bit exaggerated. Kinda like me going on about the tom I killed at 77 yards with my copper plated lead #7's. It's completely possible that it happened at some point, that one pellet managed to hit the perfect spot, but we both know it's a bit unreasonable to expect to kill turkeys with lead 7's at 77 yards from my 28 gauge. Now with the right choke, testing different handloads, playing with wads, and changing that lead out for some TSS, the scenario might be a little more believable. Not at all saying the differences are as drastic as that, but there's definitely differences in what several of us do versus not doing a thing.
I'm not doubting you can shoot a 2" group with your thunderheads @ 50 yards with your .006 arrows. I use to do it myself, however that's not the true average of your groupings. It's like carrying that one target around that you made a 3 shot group that were in a perfect little clover leaf, many guns end up doing that, they just can't do it back to back. People like to cherry pick stuff, it's in our nature. Just you can come across pretty brash about it. Likely all of us can.
Maybe I'm just picky. But those dont like holes from 2" groups and there is broadheads all over the target. Maybe your bow aint as in tune as you claim. Maybe those 006 shafts are affecting your accuracy sir.
Arrow rotational energy
When you notice this difference in rotating nocks, is it with field points or broadheads only? I do it with new shafts before I ever Fletch them. I get them cut and ready to go other than the fletching, then shoot them until I get the same impact point at 20-25 yards. If they are going off...www.rokslide.com

The point is to let new guys know that you don’t have to spend $200 for arrows to kill stuff at normal archery ranges. For someone just getting into it that doesn’t know, it can get a little overwhelming when they read some of the uber tuning stuff that folks like to do. Nothing wrong with the uber tuning if that’s what you like to do, but just telling them it ain’t mandatory for shooting accurate arrows.
