Re: Time to get serious and call in the heavyweights!
I like to shoot the stiffer arrows and add the heavy brass inserts and shoot 300 grains up front! If you want to add weight to the total arrow, you can easily use weekeater string. It is stiff so once it is cut to your arrow length, it will not fold up inside. There are different thicknesses and designs for different gpi depending on what you need and odds are, you can find it in your garage!
Just a thought.

I start with a fairly heavy tapered carbon shaft with a 100 gr insert and 250 gr point they weigh 715 gr total.

Even out of a 45lb bow that arrow will have some punch Dan.

That's handy with a string tracker, you get two strings to follow.

They seem to find their way out the the other side
Re: Time to get serious and call in the heavyweights!
I ran on a deal after last season on some rubber covered wire. This stuff is very handy, I am always finding new uses for it. The latest and greatest being as weight tubes, it is challenging to push in with the rubber coating if has many bends, I put a Touch is hot melt near the end to hold in place. Just a 6” piece weighs approximately 50gr, so keeps weight near front.

The best trick I have found for adding smaller amounts of weight to the front section of the arrow.
