Title: Shaft question
Post by: Heavysquirrel on February 07, 2008, 09:18:00 PM
I shoot a Quillion cane brake 60 # @ 27
My arrows are 28 " Carbon Express CXL2 350s
I am wanting a very heavy point weight . Do you think 345 would be possible?
Thanks

I think I've heard of a 300 gr. field point from Ace but not sure it is out yet.You could get close with a 125 gr. steel broadhead adapter and a 160 gr or a heavier glue on point.I think there are some 190 or 200 gr. glue on points.You might also see if you can use some add-on weight behind the insert.You might have to tap the insert if it is not threaded for the add-on weights.

Use 100 grain brass insert and 125 grain steel adapter and 125 grain point that gives ya 350 and that is where ya want to be. Lots of ways to get up there. Ya can get up to 400 pretty easy now-a-days! Shawn

Adding to what Shawn said, I recently saw (in either Bass Pro or Cabelas) a 25g screw-on to add weight.  It screws into your insert (outside, not the internal PDP system), and still allows you to screw a broadhead into it.
