One thing that you might want to remember when making the tip lighter, is that your FOC will decrease. Unfortunately,some archers will decrease their tip weight to increase speed. With the decrease in tip weight along with the decrease in FOC, makes a less forgiving faster arrow, with no tangible results at 20 yards, which is close to the normal shot distance in bow hunting. I like to run my hunting arrows around 12-13% foc, who cares what the speed is. 5 fps will not make a difference. I started running a higher foc on my 3-d arrows this year and found that my x-counts went up on my short game with a more stable arrow. Also remember that with a lighter tip, your pile weight will decrease and your arrow spine will be stiffer. You might want to do a little more homework before you take the plunge. Good luck.
