I agree with the statement about the arrows weights.

I shoot arrows that weigh 391 from CX along with 430 grfrom GT and there is no noticable difference between how the 2 arrows perform out to 40 yds. Both are spined for the bow and fly true and I've spun all of them on my pine ridge. IfI shoot true the arrows hit the center. If that's the case how can10 grains, or even 2,mean anything.

I'm sure at greater ranges this difference would matter. But not at the rangesI intend to shoot at a deer.

Len,

My thought on why they do not cut the ends before shipping.I think they do not do it incase of any damage that may occure either at the warehouse or at the shop. The thing that surpised me the most though is that GT recommends cutting equal ends off of the shafts when cutting.I wonder if they do that on the ones they ship already fletched?
