You might be able to use that postage scale. There is a formula for converting grams to grains, I don't recall it off hand. Let me see if I can scrounge it up. I'll post it if I can.

Heres what I know,

Easton ST Epic 400 (8.7 grains per in) 30 in long.
3 fletch 4" feathers.
I dont know about the point or inserts. It says HP     inserts on arrows.

What I was wondering if there is a standard weight for grains to ounces because I have a mailing scale. Thanks.

No, you're right! There  are  a ton of pints in a cup. Now, how many pecks in a bushel of chickens?
