weigh in on the debate please
« on: June 26, 2015, 11:23:43 pm »
Me and a buddy are at a stand still regarding the folowing: i have 125 grain fieldpoints (screw in for aluminums) to go on my arrows which have been flying like garbage. We found that if we replace these with 145 grain heads they fly lije darts. Anyways. I cant find 145 heads anywhere save fir the internet. I did see while online browsing tho that there are weights you can slide onto the back of the head and then screw in. So: i desided to slide lock washers on in the same fashion. It picked the grains from 125-139 grains. Now me and my buddy can not decide weather its a great redneck fix or a disaster of aluminum shrapnel in the face waiting to happen. Thoughts?

Sounds like it would work, but at the cost of a little strength where the field tip screws into the insert... youll have fewer threads holding it together. Order new ones today and youll have em soon

Whats aluminum? Its a magical tube of soft metal of which a pointed and fletched projectile is fashioned like those made of wood and cane... but for us who lack skill and patience
