Title: Gold Tip weights?
Post by: Dan Adair on April 20, 2012, 07:30:00 PM
Having fairly recently discovered the joys of Gold Tips, I was wondering if anybody had weights for tuning in a "sampler pack"  I'm hoping to find two of each weight (50, 20, 10) and a weight wrench.

And one of these

Use heat glue and you won't need one of those.

3 Rivers handles both the weight and the allen wrench.

They work well.  I just bought a bag of each size and threw them in the archery tool box.  You may need them in the future.  Great idea and easy to use.  Never seen a sampler pack though.

Black widow has the best package deal going that includes both 20 and 50gr. weights.
10gr. weight are made of aluminum, and can be hard to remove from some shafts, without being pushed out with a coat hanger. 20s and 50s are really all you need,imo.

Good info guys.

Thanks.

I'll just suck it up and buy a dozen 50's and a dozen 20's.

3 arrows.  I've left more than a couple inserts in targets because of hot glue on Carbons.  Maybe I'm missing something?

Shedhunta, what does it mean when "the arrow box" owns its own corner in the man cave?

I just use the 50 or 100 grain brass inserts to get me in the ballpark then finish off with different weight points.  Never tried all that business, but you know me i like stupid simple.

I have the wrench and weights. They are great for tuning arrow to bows.

They don't cost much but do a great job.

Brad...  Its the never ending quest for the perfect 3D setup.

The 5575s with 50 grain inserts and 150 heads turned out to be just the ticket for the 60# limbs.  Which is what I'll be shooting the next two days at our first 3D shoot and its going to make my shoulder SORE.  But now I have the technology to make a CARBON arrow thats 510 grains go 190 FPS at my stubby 27" draw  :D

So now, hopefully, I'll get a 450 grain arrow going the same speed on my 52#ers, and quit shooting 2nd and 3rd place.

Tell me you have a Great Norhtern takedown quiver, 150 grain 5/16ths heads, and some Werewolf 150 double bevels and you'll be elevated to "hero" status
