My Zombies weigh 398.3 G. Components: 18" Zombie, 26g insert, flat plastic nock,blazers, FOC (170g).
What I want: 450-475g arrow, still use FOC BH , still have about the same foc. Would like lighted nocks (Lumenock or Firenock - I guess are the major choices. Others?). Considering going to the new SK300 vanes , still in 4 degree offset, 55 g insert (is an 80 available?), and the lighted nock. Other options?

Re: Arrow component help
i think south shore hs 80gr inserts lumen nocks work very well just be sure arrows are square everything else sounds good -- going to check out sk vanes myself had a sliver on the 405 glued it down still holding good luck
Re: Arrow component help
Black Eagle has 80 grain brass inserts available and the #GTF .300 Lumenok weighs 28 grains. Adding those two components will get you into your desired arrow weight range.

Re: Arrow component help
But wouldn't this change the FOC (not his broadhead) considerably? Heavier shaft per inch? Small screw in weight in front and then a lighted nock? I think it may be fairly easy to get there, but not so easy to maintain same FOC as you now have and like.Normous wrote:Black Eagle has 80 grain brass inserts available and the #GTF .300 Lumenok weighs 28 grains.

Re: Arrow component help
Paul, I think a few extra foc percentage points paired with the FOC broadhead is a win win combo that will only lead to bigger smiles in the field.

Re: Arrow component help
Norm, you are probably right, but SEW doesn't like to shoot too much FOC, if I remember correctly. Maybe a GT IV pro shaft (I think is approx. 12 gr/in adds 54 grains)with illuminock (adds approx. 20 grains) and a 20-25 grain screw in weight up front. Just a thought. I may be making mountains out of mole hills. Norm. Those just to your west currently...are mountains.Normous wrote:Paul, I think a few extra foc percentage points paired with the FOC broadhead is a win win combo that will only lead to bigger smiles in the field.

Re: Arrow component help
The foc on both arrows, is almost identical, being just under 22.
Used the calculator at Gold Tip arrows for a quick check. Sew go with the lighted nocks and 80 grain brass, the total weight is where you want to be and does not change the foc except for a minimal amount.
