Just had a Umarex arrow blow up at 50 yards when trying to shoot another 101yard group. It sounded like a fire cracker going!!!!!! That would ruin a hunt !!!! Arrow blows up before it gets to deer....

Another 101 Group tethered minus the arrow that blew up mid flight and did not make to target 
Also shot a Umarex arrow without fletchings and it hit the target just about 8 inches higher than the arrows with fletchings.

That’s really cool, I never would have thought arrows would be that accurate at that range. Thanks for sharing.

I used to be able to do that at 100 meters with my PSE compound bow shooting fingers (no release). That was about 45 years ago. I was around 25.
It was a 65 lb bowl with 18% let off shooting number 11 fiberglass with field points, five and a half inch parabolic plastic Fletch.
Arrow velocity was around 220 ft per second.
That bow would penetrate a 3/4 in sheet of plywood.
I'm guessing the top of the trajectory was probably about 18 or 20 ft off the ground.

@Reedmosser You’re really opening folks’ eyes to the capability of this setup. Shooting airbolts is definitely something to experience.
1) What’s your POA on the shots pictured ?
2) How far out do you intend to hunt with them?
3) How do they fly with broadheads affixed?

The center dot on target was my aiming point.. Id like to keep hunting shots under 50 for big things..I would shoot at a coyote or ground hog at 100 yards....I have shot at 120 yards but wind is tricky.. Shot 2 different broad heads at 50 yards last year foam deer...both shot widely different than field points... I'm going to have to go with a broad head that has field point made the same...Been checking A few different manufacturers.. Aluminum 2219 Easton Here...The nock pops off easy slides on Airsaber tube easily... Perfect.. Going to shoot after lunch..let you know how it does.. Sorry just field points today... Comparison between Easton an umarex arrow pictures. Nocks pulled out of Easton Arrows easy...Fletchings a lil bigger....hitting air tube a lil...will see if it affects accuracy..
