The shortest shaft weight I can go with is 26.5 carbon to carbon that's 307.4
I will add a 50 grain Stainless steel Aeroinsert AA from Firenok 50.0
Broadhead 125.0
Vanes 18.0
Nock 11.6
TOTAL ARROW WEIGHT 512 Grains
I could also drop down to a 100 grain head and add a 4" wrap and lengthen the arrow to add weight if desired. Again I could probably get away with a .300 with that short of a shaft, but what the heck, why not
Some of you may recall that I was complaining about the 50 grain brass HIT inserts blowing up the fronts of my .300 Kinetics last year. Well upon further review, I remember when I set the inserts a guy at the archery shop handed me a fast set instant glue. I believe that was the FATAL MISTAKE. The stuff was too brittle for that much impact force. I spoke with Dorge (Sp?) from Firenok on the phone yesterday about setting his inserts in my arrows, and he told me to go to any local HD/Lowes/Hardware store and pick up a two part bonding epoxy that requires a minimum of 24 hours set time. He told me most of the archery insert glues out there have either been sitting on the shelf for too long or dry too fast, including the HIT two part (too brittle). The guy was really helpful and was willing to help me with all of my questions, seems like a stand up dude. He claimed that if I set them right and took the time and care to do it right, he said they will be almost indestructable. Now I'm just relaying what I've been told and some issues with what I have experienced. I plan to set the firenok SS inserts in the Kinetic .200's when they arrive here and then I will start putting them to the test.
