Thank you very much for the posting, will you be attending and shooting also?

unfortunately my times have not been posted yet, i may have to wait till wed night to find out. I'm looking forward to meeting you guys, don't know very many people in the American crossbow circuit. rob

[kbarr1]

We will make you welcome.There is some great guys there.I will be getting there Wednesday afternoon.My buddy Pierre is coming from Quebec also.

sounds great. do you know how picky they are on arrow weights? it says 450gn but if i'm shooting 448gn will that be an issue? thanks

[vaguru]

They WILL weigh your arrows!  If you are underweight, well, then you're just shooting for fun.  Bump them up to about 452 grs to be safe.

How would you bump your arrows up by only four grains? glue dots?

[vaguru]

Depends on how your arrows are set up.  You can use lead shot between the tip and insert weight, sections of 8-32 threaded rod screwed behind the tip, stuff tissue paper down the shaft, glue inside shaft/nock, lots of ways.

Don't go just to the minimum weight, go over a couple of grains to be safe, their scale might read different than yours!

[kbarr1]

Their scales and their chrono are both light to my rcbs digital scale and pro chrono.Be safe and go to the heavy side like guru said.BTW your times are up now.See you there.

Had a great time, and it was great to meet you guys. hopefully i can have next year go off with less glitches... but all in all it was well worth the trip, and a good learning experience. You guys will have to come up for a Canadian championship sometime, its a 2 day shoot as well but its 40 targets each day for a total score of 880.

[The 3D life]

oh, and just as info for future they allow a maximum variance of +or- 13.5 grains, but from what i saw i wont be putting and rules to the test or pushing any boundaries. they seem to take that kind of stuff pretty seriously.

[kbarr1]

Yes they take their rules very seriously.I would have liked to have got to shoot some with you.Hope you get to come back next year.Terry told me he was coming back also.Now you know what to expect.Nice to have met you.Kenny
