i just spent a bunch of time on stus calc. to get my current arrows to fall with in the per-ams of the calc i need to have 250 grains up front i was wondering what people thought would be the best way to go about getting this shooting a 200 grain head with a 50 grain insert or a 150 grain head and 100 grain insert or maybe theres an option i havent thought about?
I like heavy heads and light inserts. The heavier broadheads are a lot tougher.
the difference in the length between the 100gr. and 50gr. inserts will cause a small difference in spine so that is something to consider.
Have you bareshafted or broadhead tuned yet or are you gonna buy arrows based on the calc.?
kenneth, ive been struggleing with my arrows for awhile now ive tried 150s and 250s and now 350s the "eye" test teh 150 and 250 flew horrible the 350 flew great so i got those wrapped them with a white wrap when i shot them for the first time i was getting black marks from my side plate thats what got me to look at stus calc. i also recently put my bow on a scale adn found out it was 64 lbs at 27 when the bow is marked 55 at 28 just starting to get frustrated with going through arrows. arrows now look to fly well and hit straight but when i do miss its always left
The options you listed or a standard aluminum insert.On my carbons,that would be 14 grs.You can fine tune almost any weight head by using either 75,100 or 125 gr steel adaptors with the appropriate weight glue on head.The broadhead adaptor has a cavity in the end to which you can add lead shot at the time you glue them up.#6 lead shot weighs 2 grs per pellet.You can get at least 14-15 grs of these in the adaptor/broadhead ferrule.
This kind of setup lets you customize any specific weight you want.I have heads like 235 grs, 295 grs and 318 grs.Each setup has broadheads of that weight,field points and blunts.It is the most versatile way to come up with an exact point weight,especially when a non stock size is needed.
