RE: Arrow cutting

....weight differences are probably the least important aspect of arrow tolerances. As long as it doesn't affect spine or straightness, I doubt most could tell the difference with a 10 grain variance shot at hunting distances.

You can't imagine how many times I tell my customers this. Also, so many of them get caught up in the FOC issue. There as well, "As long as it doesn't affect spine..." too much, standard east coast hunting distances can be flexible.

Of course, if you're going to use heavy vanes, wrapsand lighted nocks on the back of your arrows, using a light tip might not be agood choice.[:-]

One more thing about cutting of arrows at the nock end - WHY SHOULD WE HAVE TO DO IT?? Why can't all the manufacturers make straight arrows from one end to the other? They already make them shorter than their aluminum counterparts.What happens to those who need longer arrows and can't afford to cut from both ends??

I've actually already run into this problem with a few longer DL customers.[:@]
