Finally got to shoot my X10's today.
I have been shooting ACE 520's with 120gr points and pin nocks.
The X10's are 550's with beiter in/out nocks and tungsten piles.
Both with 1.75" spin wings.
I was a little worried that the heavier X10 might lose quite a lot of sight mark.
I shot 80yds as its a comfortable distance.
My sight mark for the ACE's was 6.45 (I'm not exactly sure what each division is on the Shibuya Ultima sight - it might be 1mm)
I dropped it to 7.5 to be safe (couldn't face breaking an arrow on a stand leg with my first shot) and it went well over.
Next arrow was high black, third arrow in the gold. I ended up with 6.7 for the X10's. A difference of 0.25.
The X10's flew beautifully - much better than the ACE's. Obviously this is just down to them being a better match. I have suspected that the ACE's were a little on the stiff side for my current setup (a poor shot tended to wobble around, especially down range).
But my main worry (the greater weight and loss of sight mark) seems unfounded.
