I could watch stuff like this all day. :)

its not about the scale Sonny. they sell 1/2 gr wts (small washers) that go on your points to match all your arrows.
what difference can three grains anyways, well i guess confidence

While I can see the point of being meticulous I always think money spent on a coach would be a better investment. 1/2 gr weights? You can't be serious!!!!!

in hutch's defense there is a cool cordless drill powered string server on there too

Ok, kinda going off topic a little, but what do you all consider to be an acceptable variance in arrow weights? Say you just set up a dozen hunting or target arrows, and weighed them all. What's too far off for your liking? 1 gr., 5 gr.?

[Destroyer]

No more than 2 grains but I prefer all of them to be the same or at least the same as reported by my cheap grain scale.


1/2 gr weights? You can't be serious!!!!!

I dunno Barry, I could go for some 1/8 grain washers..................:p

In all honesty I don't think most people could tell a difference in + or - 5 grains. Rich McKinney has said it many times---consistant arrow spine is the most important consideration in arrows; both around any one shaft and from shaft to shaft.

consistant arrow spine is the most important consideration in arrows

Its important alright. If only spine measuring tools were cheaper, available more.


I want the polished ones. Cuts down on drag. :cool:

Lol! :D

I just blew way too much time messing with my arrows. I weighed all the components and mixed and matched parts to get the most uniform weight. I have 5 arrows at 343.2 grains and one at 343.0 grains. I think that is close enough. :cool:

When I start hunting rabbits with judo points they are all 100 grains. After a few shots and collecting a bit of dirt they get heavier, but I still shoot them the same.

You probably right Barry. :)
