Bad News - my Hex 6.6s along with the rest of the bow they were attached to was nicked from our field on Monday night whilst I was collecting / plotting an end :gnasher:
Good News - it looks like a "personal belongings" part of our contents insurance should cover it, so I should be able to afford to replace the Borders :relieved:
But... the Hex 6.6s are no longer available and the Hex 8s are out of budget, so I'm left with either the Hex 7.2 which I understand is a slightly detuned 7.5? or the CVX.
I'd also bought another dozen 540 ACGs a few months ago which were working nicely, and these weren't nicked because they were in the target at the time! Having just bought some, I'd like to avoid having to replace arrows as well if I can avoid it, which, from what I've found out so far I think I might get away with if I go CVX , but I doubt I would with the 7.2s, but I guess that would still be much cheaper than if the insurance didn't cover it!
I'm going to try and talk to Sid soon, but I'm also interested in people's thoughts who have made a similar upgrade from the 6.6s.
Did you stay with the same OTF or drop poundage a little given the extra pre-loading (7.2/7.5)?
Did you need to change spine, and how much of a change was needed?
Is a longer string needed for the bigger hooks on the 7 series?
What is better after the upgrade, and were there any negatives?
And anything else that you think might help me decide which way to jump (assuming that I get confirmation that the insurance will cover the theft).
Thanks in advance!
