Will 10 grains point weight make that much of a difference in arrow flight? I hate it when manufactures make a glue on broad head but, don't make a field tip of the same weight to practice with.    :mad:   What's an easy and effective method to add 10gr to a glue on broad head? Thanks in advance.    

TW, a size BB split shot sinker weighs 5-6g, 2 weigh 12g. You can put them in the ferrul of your BH.

No,And all you do is use lead split shots melt on a spoon then  pour into broadhead.

Would have to believe that unless your set-up is at the extreme outer limits for excellent flight, then you should see no difference.

Also, a few string twists could put you right back on if there was an issue.

For elevation you should see zero differnce. If you do, then you set-up was in question to begin with. I have to go up or down over 75 gn's before I may possibly discern a difference at 20 yards.

TW what weight field point are you looking for?

I doubt you'll ever notice 10 grns.

IMO no it won't make a difference. You can add a few small lead splitshot in the point to add weight. The smaller the better. Put point in a vise and insert a steal bolt and smash shot down then glue on. You might have to  cut your taper down a smidge. Me, I'd just shoot they way they are.

That's a 1.5% to 1.7% change in the arrow's weight.  It wouldn't show in my groups.  For a long time I shot 125 gr fieldpoints and 135 gr broadheads and I saw no difference in hunting type ranges.

Tell me your anchor is consistant and doesn't vary 3/8" in draw length between fresh to tired shooting.  Same % change and probably has more effect.

You would notice a 1# change in spine more than a 50 gr difference in point weight. Don't worry about it.

If your fletched broadhead arrows and field point arrows group your good to go.

3rivers does offer 5 grain brass washers,  http://www.3riversarchery.com/product.asp?i=5208X

Thanks everyone! I really appreciate the info. LPCJON2: I want to shoot a 135gr Simmons but, only have 145gr field tips. I just wanted to make sure that the finished arrow with broad head would fly as good as the field tips. I like my hunting arrows to shoot just like my practice arrows.

With your broad head being longer than your field point, they may fly the same anyway.

Thanks for asking this question.  I've always wondered the same thing.

Jeremy, with carbon and aluminums I can play around with my setup a little more. With woodies, it gets to be a little trickier for me as I haven't really shot woods all that long. Putting on and taking off heads and cutting down the shaft gets to be a little bit of a pain.

TW grind the field point on a bench grinder

You don't want the same weight anyway. The broadhead makes the arrow longer and 'softer'-you should be using a slightly heavier field point if you want them to shoot the same.
