I've seen a QAD stay up on shot, when the tension was too loose on the tie in. Didn't realize the mechanism was binding.

Was it the hunter or ultra rest?

I'm talking about locked completely. After removed from the bow still locked. A letter of apology from QAD with a replacement.

Cool, have fun with it. You may want to consider the penetration you'll give up to gain the speed. I have a fellow Hunter in our group that shoots FMJs and they lay the smack down on the elk. In reality I guess anything in the right spot kills up to a certain distance

I'm not gonna go too light. Current fmj inshoot is 11.3 gpi. May try something closer to 9 gpi

A Gold Tip XT Hunter would fit the bill.

I switched to these last year from one of the heavier shafts that I had used for years that was discontinued.

These in 340 at 29 inches with 3" 3 fletch 100 grain point and a wrap came in at 408 grains.
