Default Goldtip weight system

I just thought I would share the weight system that I used today to weight some goldtip arrows. I got this idea from Troy/OH and modified a little to fit the materials I had on hand. I took a 4" 8/32 bolt and cut the head off making a 4" piece of all thread, I then cut the lip off a goldtip insert and screwed it down to the end of the all thread. I then glued the all thread to the back of a regular insert. With the 4" of all thread and two inserts with a 145gr tip raises the wieght of the 31" goldtip to 600gr on the nose and they fly absolutely fantastic out of both my 62" 60# @ 29" T/D Crusader and my 64" 57# @ 28" 1 piece crusader. It also shot very well out of another guys 60lb Timberspirit recurve. One other thing I noticed about the weighted goldtips was that they were very quiet off the bow. The compound guys at the archery shop had thier doubts about the whole thing and even after it shot bullet holes thru the paper they doubted it woudl shoot a broadhead, well it also shoots bulletholes with 145gr Wensel Woodsman heads too. I think that these will be the go to arrow for me when I do any pack hunting, more durable than wood or aluminum and still fairly inexpensive. Included is a photo of the weight system.
