Weight of string accessories?

kdsberman · 02-11-2009, 05:27 AM

Im using that FPS calculator on backcountrybowhunting.com and was wondering how many grains are usually added to your string when it comes to the accessories? Like how many grains are leaches a piece, a peep sight, loop..etc? Thanks guys.

I've never weighed these things that I remember- leeches, loops, and whatnot. I really only know the weight of tru-peeps (around 8-12 grains depending on size) and the G5 Meta Peeps are roughly half the weight of the fletchers.

I weighed leeches once. If I remember correctly, they were quite heavier than I expected, like somewhere around 30gr a peice.

I don't use string silencers any more. I've found for me they are Not necessary any longer. All I have on my string is a tied in nock set, sometimes a loop, and a Meta Peep.

So I really don't have much weight on my string.

Just weighed the BowJax Ultra II string jax (since they were handy

)

They weighed 38 grains for 2.
