Great looking setup....a lot heavier than I use, but I love the dark setup�the guys I shoot with would absolutely hate you! LOL 
Lady's man, yes those tips are strictly for target shooting. They do a decent job of keeping the arrow off target if it hits another arrow, instead of "bumping" it out of the "ring", but it normally damages the tip in the process.

lol that's the plan . And lady's man I shoot a limbdriver rest .Rickym said:
With an arrow that big and colored all black, he is going to make it look like a big black hole for everybody to shoot at For some reason people gravitate subconsciously to hitting shot out holes on targets, even if they are trying to shoot to the sides of it. I had the same idea but that is my theory as to why everybody was hitting all around my arrow because it sure didn't make them disappear into the target like I was thinking it would...it just makes it look like a shot out hole.
The other thing I have played with is to intimidate people with bright colored fletch that does intentionally stick out like a sore thumb. My hot pink/white with flo green nocks stand out like crazy...they look like they cover an area the size of a half dollar from the stake. I've noticed that if you are in the 12 ring or even close to it...that people will get afraid of hitting your arrow and it knocking them out into the 8, so they wont even shoot for the lower 12 or will call for upper 12s. I noticed this in Florida when my actual arrow shaft would just be close to the 12 but my fletch made it look like I was covering part of it up...people wouldn't shoot for the 12.

except for the black targets . When its in the black targets , you can't see nothing lol . I shoot with guys who shoot k50 and open A . And I was getting tired of replacing bushings and knocks all the time . The bushings stand out the most if they are shining .Crow Terminator said:With an arrow that big and colored all black, he is going to make it look like a big black hole for everybody to shoot at

Yeah on fresh black targets they work good for disappearing. These new generation McKenzie targets are so bad that by one round, they have gaping holes in the 10 rings anyway. You might can disappear in the holes and be like a chameleon They tell me the Kentucky courses are in extremely low light so that would help you with dark shadows too. We shoot our first range at 8:00 and second round in the afternoon. I keep hearing about the ranges being set on a powerline up there but I don't know what to expect.

If I were you I would practice standing uneven , downhill, uphill , etc . And shooting from a field of sorts into the shadows . The power line is where novice has been the last few years . We went up a couple months ago and checked out the layout kinda . Have you Pre registered ? I start on target 5 on range J in the morning . Range I in the afternoon .
I procrastinated on registration...just did it online Saturday. That sounds like a typical 3D course for local shoots here...uphill and downhill, from light into dark. Bucks2Beards is one of the few flat ones...if they run it on one side of the property. Otherwise it's up and down, shooting into shadows too. I bet the state shoot will be a good combo of one course flat and the other will be hilly.

well that will be fun . I'm looking forward to the state shoot . Send me a pm with your number or something and we will try to get together at Kentucky . Are you going to shoot the team shoot Friday ?Crow Terminator said:
I had to use a crapload of vacation hours just to go to Kentucky...it was my scheduled weekend to work on 12 hr shifts so I had to burn nearly 34 hours of vacation time just to go to. So we are driving up on Friday and coming back Sunday evening...no team shoot for me, or I would have had to use another 11.5 hrs vacation for one day. I will PM you my number.
