what is to heavy

<< < (2/3) > >>

Kviljo:
The heaviest point found in the mouintains here in Norway, dating to the middle ages, is weighing 787 grains :)
It was for hunting reindeer. The average were 350 grains.

boo:
how many gr is 1/2 oz? thats what i have them down to now. i went ahead and glued them on my sourwood shafts to try tomarrow. im shooting about 60lbs. ill let you know what happends. bobby

Hillbilly:
I think 1/2 oz. would be about 219 grains.

Pat B:
An ounce is 437.5 grs! ;D   
   Bobby, There is probably some guys on the War Bow thread that would be interested in medieval bodkin point and such. They like them heavy! ;D
   Are you making trade points? Tie on type.      Pat

jamie:
weight doesnt matter. flight and your ability to hit the mark matter. i shoot well over 10gr per pound usually 100 grains over what most shoot. with heavy heads a stiffer shaft is definetly a must. peace
