Hey looking for some ideas of how I can boost my arrow weight. I shoot cx 150's with a woodsman 150 for a total of 500 grs. Ideas of how to boost that to 600? Thanks.
Coffee should do it,pour it in the shaft.
Just curious. What is your bow's poundage?
Para- or other polypropyleen cord, cord, weight tubes from 3 Rivers, fish-tank tubes....
Like Dutchmand said, I have used Para 550 cord, weed-eater line, clothes line(small rope), I have not tried the fish tank tubes yet, but I'm going to look into it.
250 gr Woodsman elite or VPA Terminator. Weight and FOC. A little tuning and you will be flying right.
What are you planning on shooting?
OK, I am hunting big Illinois deer and I took 4 this past season, but not one pass through.
Three were shot at under 5 yrds and a big 9 at 15 yrds. Two of the four had exit holes but just barely,and I am wondering if more weight will help with that. I shoot a 50 lb long bow and I just picked up a 45lb grizzly which I will be hunting with this season. I figure if I increase weight it should retain more energy. Am I being to picky on this or just stick with what I have?
Thanks for the advice .
I use the goldtip brass weights that screw in to the back of the insert.I would have just bumped up the point weight but the inserts was already glued in...
What broadhead?
You might get away with splitting the difference and go to 550 grains.
An aluminum footing at the front (say 1-2") and some aluminum by the nock (say 1/4") would add 20-30 grains. Would also strengthen your arrows.
If you can try a CX heritage 250 cut to 29" with a 50 grain brass insert and 200 grain point. This will get you to around 600 grains and be close to being in tune with your bow.
(I guessed you pulled 28" and use a fast flight string)
