Could somebody please weigh one of their fully fletched with a standard nock 2117 for me and let me know tip weight and arrow length?

Thanks for your time.

Todd

28" 2117 GGII, Mercury speed nock, 3 5" shield cut feathers, 533 grains with a 145 grain point. The arrow with no point weighs 388 grains (standard screw-in aluminum point insert).

Hope that helps,

Gene

Thats all I needed. Thanks a million!

29.5" 2117 GGII 3-4" parabolic feathers, bjorn nock, alum insert. 400 grains w/o point...

Thanks. That double conferms it.

2117 GGII's will (ballpark figure) weigh 13.5 grains per inch with a regular nock, insert, and standard 3 fletching added.

Much appreciated, Gents.

If you needed one more...I just put a 2117 XX75 Superslam on my RCBS digital scale that was full length, it had a wrap and 3 5" shield cut feathers and a uni-nock...it weighed 445.5 grs. Without the feathers...FL and a wrap it was 434 grs on the nose.  I think the wrap weighs 7 grs.

No inserts or points.

NDTerminator...they'll be in the mail Monday!!

Cool.  Did I get you revved enough on hunting the Badlands?

Here is a nice little web form that will get you really close on finished arrow weight for Easton xx75's.

I checked the calculator against Scattershot's measured weight, and got within 3 grains.  That's  close enough for 'government' work!  Also, according to Easton's data, 2117's are 12 gpi (clean, no insert, etc).

Thanks for the link, Curtis!

Holy cow!!! Did you ever, I think I may need to come out there and scare all the Mulies away with my non-stalking, treestand hunting Michigan ways.    

Just kidding, I can slip around somewhat...I stalked a turkey two years ago with a gun (before I saw the light) and got bow close.  It was a blast; I got within 50 yards of him and crawled on my hands and knees even to him but behind a small treeless fencerow.  It took me by surprise that I could get close to a big tom with 4 hens, ended up the shot was something like 18 yards...what a rush.  I just had to tell the lazy @#%$ in me to shut up and do it.  I've called turkeys in and got them, fell asleep and woke up with them in front of me and got them (good day...sleeping next to a tree and got a bird) and the last one was a stalk.  It is amazing to have them respond to a call and thunder their way in, yet it was as exciting crawling to him and connect on a stalk.  

I have always hunted deer from a stand, mostly a treestand.  I've still hunted and jumped deer but your describing a true spot and stalk, big difference.  

I've always wanted to hunt Mule deer and the stalking method you described sounds awesome...what a rush to have them that close and have to wait for them to make a move, has to be nerve racking.
