Thanks for the ideas guys. Initially I thought my arrow was 50 grains heavier than it should be was my reason for posting. I weighed the vanes and have accounted for some of that weight, but ultimately the shaft is 17.7 grains heavier than it should be. I am curious to buy other arrows and...
I’m about to do just that. I do a lot of rifle reloading and am used to extreme precision. .5 gr/inch just seemed like alot to me on a shaft. Also, with the 14 grains from the shaft and other overweight components the complete arrow weighs 480.5 instead of 450. That is significant, even if I am...
Thanks for your feedback, my research says they should weigh 6.5 grains each. I have weighed multiple arrows. I started with a hunting arrow out of my quiver then went to one I broke on a tree to diagnose the weights of individual pieces. The two arrows are within 5 grains of each other with all...
It is 311.5 bare arrow with vanes. No nock, collar, insert, anything. If it is the vanes and glue that make it 311.5 that is 38.9 grains/3 vanes is 12.96 grains per vane, that is crazy.
