Default Lost Archery.

Gotta give a shout out to Neil at Lost Archery,

Made the long drive out to Wainwright from Spruce Grove to get my new bow tuned and it was well worth the drive. Neil's got years of expertise and all the equipment to get your set-up dialled in perfectly. Best part is he was more then willing to teach his methods as he went along which will help big time for any future adjustments.

Anyhow check him out and see for yourself.

I have been talking with Neil, and will going down there this summer to set up my bow.

He sounds very knowledgeable and I am looking forward to making the trip and meeting him in person. I especially can't wait to introduce my Bemans to his Iron Bear lol!

I shot Beman ICS Hunter arrows for years and took elk, moose and deer with them...then they discontinued the ones I used and I switched to Goldtip. Goldtips are the best IMHO but the Beman arrow I used to use did the trick too.

Mine are the ICS Camo Hunter 340 10.0 gpi.

I am not saying that they will not do the trick, because the definitely will without a doubt! I have killed with them as well and seen them zip though deer with 120 Gr. SlickTricks. But they shatter really easily, which is why I do not like them.

After seeing your pictures on the 100 yard challenge, I am switching to Goldtips this year and I especially like your nocking system.

Default Bemans

I have been shooting Bemans for 17 years. The only ones that break are the ones the hit bone or steel or get shafted by other arrows. Beman ICS 400 (Hunter).......still have a bunch of them......prob 15 years old? They have a green Beman logo on them and are not cheap hunting arrows. Have a few doz newer Beman ICS BowHunter 400 8.4 GPI. Nothing wrong with these either. I weighed both the old and the new and they are within a few grs of each other.
