Arrow weight with & without cresting.

[txjourneyman]

I weighed one of my crested hunting arrows and one of my non crested practice arrows. The difference was 440gr uncrested and 442 crested. I was surprised, I thought my arrows would weigh in at about 425. I'm not very good at math I guess or just forgot to add a component when estimating weight. Any "weigh", LOL,( forgive the pun), the paint didn't add enough weight to make a discernable difference. These arrows don't have an elaborate pattern but you get the idea. Here is what the painted arrow looks like. The unpainted is identicle but for the paint.

2 grains?

Damn...."I" was actually hoping for MORE!

Thanks, Greg

Thanks, Greg... I don't think I ever actually weighed any before and after when I used to cap/crest a bunch.

I do know that it was neglible, as you just showed.

2 grains, never would have thought it would be that light.
