Mea Culpa, my son. First hunt of archery season a few years ago, I took three new arrows out of storage, installed BHs, spun tested them and stuck them in the quiver. Drove 70 miles and got up in my stand for an afternoon hunt. After an hour or so, decided to draw my bow back to keep my muscles loose. Guess what? ALl three arrows were ones I had cut down for the kids. 30 inch draw, 24 inch arrows. I cussed some, got down out of the stand, and jumped a nice 8 point on the way out. Then I really cussed!!
