Roskoe,

I've been wondering that since I got back into shooting and it seems to baffle me.Arrow manufacturers even offer add on 25 gr weights. Why not just get the 125 gr tip. Which it seems are harder and harder to find in the newer designs.

I like the additional weight up front to help with penetration and right now my 421 gr arrow isabout 293 fps which his fast enough for me and I have an FOC over 12%. I gain about 1 fps for every 5 gr I remove from my arrows. With the 100 gr tips I'd be at 299 with the FOC dropping by 2%.
