Arrow Weight-Does 14 Grains Matter?

[xcaliber]

That makes that easy, now just verify they hit where you aim, and you're golden!

....I would still contact them and see if they at least could make some sought of adjustment on a future purchase...you did not get what you ordered!

same arrows and components as the first time you bought, why the different weights now ??....

[Big Woods]

Bob he must have been mistaken as this batch clearly has 80 grain inserts and the previous batch has 92 grain inserts.

I welded T handle Allen wrench to a 24" stainless rod so that I can add a weight into the back of the front insert accessing through the nock end. With the 8/32" screws I use I can any extra weight from 5 to 50 grains to my arrow this way then use epoxy to secure them.
I doubt 14 grain matter much at hunting yardages the way I see it. No worries.

There should be about a 5 ft/sec difference.

[Big Woods]

There should be about a 5 ft/sec difference.

That shouldn't make much of a difference I'm assuming?

It will be an insignificant difference as far as hunting ranges go.

I had some insert weights laying around from my gold tips I shoot with vertical recurves. I didn't expect them to thread onto the back of the bolt inserts but they did so I just pulled the nocks off and added 10 grains to each bolt with the extended weight wrench.

I'm good to go!

These guy's suggestion's on adding weight are great ideas. Really like Normous, idea. It's been logged in my memory bank, for sure.

....you are brilliant and have such an an-Normous mind! Thanks for the tip!

I agree with Anthony, recently I bought some small game tips off of Amazon, they sent me the wrong ones. I got 100g instead of 125g. They sent me a new set no questions asked and let me keep the old ones. I am fine with that! Might as well call 'em up and ask what they can do for you.

That's the exact weight I use when excaliber Dan makes up the 17" zombie slayers for my 355..... I'm loving them... I think you have a non-issue... but let me know and possibly I'll take hem off your hands.

In the past to keep weight within 6 grains of each other
I have used weight tubes
I order them from 3 Rivers Archery
When the weight is different because of using luminocs I will us the tube in that end of bolt I use a little hot glue to secure
Forgot to say I cut the tube to the weight I need
I have done this for The Vixen, Ibex, Exomag, and the Grizzly

14 grains should make very little difference in shots 30 yards and under, I still would separate my arrows by weight and how well they group. I shoot everyone of my arrows with broad heads when its time for hunting and number them from 1-4 on the vanes with being 1 as my best arrows.

How I do it,,, then you know when it leaves the quiver,,,, if it don't find the mark,,,,,,,,only one thing to blame,,,,,
