Title: I have a question..
Post by: VA Elite on August 31, 2015, 07:42:00 PM
I tuned my bow and arrows with 145 grain tips. there are more options for broad heads at 150 gr. will there be a difference in flight with 5 gr?

You'll be fine, After you sharpen them, They be closer to 145.

I'll add to this and say. Most guys have tested. Including myself. You would be pretty safe 15-20 gr on either side of the 145

Stop worrying and start imagining the shot. The difference you're worrying over is a fraction of the difference that results from imperceptible changes in draw length.

I am really excited for you and looking forward to your pics and story of your trad deer this fall . You have put in the hours, asked the questions, been willing to learn. Aim small , focus on your spot and soft release. Then the real work, and for me the best part,  begins.

Go with the 4 blade Stinger. Those little bleeders won't affect penetration at all.
