Got some 125 grainers from Drew (thanks buddy) and although I have yet to try them on an animal, I can tell a real difference when shooting bales. They give considerably more penetration. The only problem is, I only have half a dozen right now. Looks like I will be buying some more so all my arrows will shoot to the same POI; the non weighted arrows shoot quite a bit higher, so I am having to relearn my sight picture, but it is well worth it. You guys shooting wood might want to give these things a try.
centaur,
I've been looking at them too, I want to shoot the 125 grain woody weights with 125 grain heads.
If you don't mind I have a couple questions.
(1) what's your total weight up front
(2) did you have to go up in spine, if so how much more?
Thanks
Daren
I didn't change spine (shooting 65-70 out of a 55# bow). I also used 125 grain heads with the weights. Arrows fly really well, and my cedars now weight right at 620 grains.
Thanks for the info!!! I'm going to get some ordered.

I just got some that are 75gr. to go on some 70#-75# POC. I will be used some 160gr. STOS heads with them. I have some of these shafts tuned at 29.5"bop with 160gr. tips. So I hope I will still be able to tune these with that much weight up front...maybe have to cut them down to 29". If not, I have some 80#-85# shafts that they will work with.
I been using them on carbon , 100gr snuffer , 175gr woody weight and 125gr steel adapter . A little over 400 up front and 680 total arrow weight. These things are cool. Drew
Is it hard to get everything to spin tru?
