Title: add weight upfront to carbons
Post by: sweet old bill on September 16, 2009, 05:53:00 AM
Want to thank the Trad hunter who suggested it is a easy way to add weight by using .243 copper round.

I  put 24 epoxy to the flat end of the .243 copper round and pushed down the shaft from the nock end with a .22 cal cleaning rod.

I then inserted the nock and left the arrows point down on the point with nock up.I left then cure for 3 days.

the copper bullet point added 75 grains to the arrow.
