I now know I am cheap
Was looking at ways to increase bolt weight.
Looked at incerts at 3 Rivers
Wife chimed in with using 22cal pellets (a little to much weight)
Then tried BB's not enough weight
Mother in law yells for someone to carry out the old wire coat hanggers.
Bells go off
My bolts have went from 432grn to 664grn.
Flying well 1/2 in difference poi between the 2 weights

Cheap, frugal, or creative? I say creative!!
That's where great ideas come from, thinking outside the box!

Gun control is like trying to reduce drunk driving by making it tougher for sober people to own cars.

same thing but people receive it better ...go figger

I have a boar where I hunt that has to be close to 400lbs.
So when it hits I want to know he is not going to far.

In a bind i have wrapped nymph lead around my add on weights then screwed them to my 110 brass insert to make up the broadhead difference. Worked so well i pulled the weights and sealed them with epoxy !!!!!!!!!
