Elite HNTR33

I've got it sighted in, out to 50 yards, but here's the 40 yard results. :cool: The shadow of the arrow shafts, shows the closeness of the shafts.
I'm very happy with this Elite HNTR33! Very smooth draw cycle too.
At the archery pro shop the digital scale shows it at a 58# Draw Weight and holding weight is 11#
I added a paracord wrap to the grip. This will make it have some thermal properties in colder weather, make it easier to hang on to with cloth gloves and yet it's still narrow enough for good shooting form. These metal grips with little laminated wood center pieces ain't getting it and they feel like you're holding on to a popcicle in the colder weather months. (n)
The arrows are Gold Tip Kinetics 300 spine at 27 1/4", 25 gr. half-out insert, 125 gr. tip weight and 2.75" AAE vanes. TAW at 480.
The archery pro shop digital scales show it at 58# with a holding weight of 11#.
I'm hoping to run it through a chronograph, next week.
HNTR33 40 Yards.webp
 
I had to do some more tinkering with the arrows, due to unstable flight issues. :unsure:
There are a much larger selection in 100 gr. broadheads vs. 125 gr. Plus, I found out that this bow likes short ferrule broadheads. The short ferrules showed more stability in flight, at longer distances of 25 yards or more. So, I added 50 grains to the inside of the arrow with internal weights and shot some Slick Tricks, Montec G5, Magnus Snuffer and Slick Trick SS3 broadheads with perfect flight out to 40 yards.
TAW ended up at 490 grains with a 12% FOC.

Just waiting for a shot this coming Saturday morning. :cool:
Good luck to everyone for the 2025 season!!! (y)💯
