If you don't mind me asking what's the advantage in adding that much weight?
Better stability which leads to better arrow flight, more penetration, less wind drift, more momentium down range not to mention the arrow will absorb more of the bows power that would have been transfeered through the limbs into the riser causing vibration/hand shock andthe bow will bequiter.
I am sure I forgot a couple of things but I think you get the drift
More stupid questions. What's the difference between adding weight versus using a heavier arrow? Are you just adding the weight so that you don't have to buy more arrows or do they perform better with the weight? Does it shoot any flatter or penetrate deeper than a heavier shaft that has the same total weight? I know that my bow is slow to start with, 245 fps with 370 grain arrows butwhen I use arrows that weigh just 50 grains more I can really see them slow down considerably and they hit 4-5 inches lower at 30 yards.
