My new arrows are heavier.......
Ok so here is my problem. I shoot Beman ICS Hunters. 500 7.3 gpi. Well I was at the proshop/range last week and ordered a half dozen arrows like I usually do. Well the guy behind the counter tells me that the can't get the ones I usually shoot in black but he can get them in camo. So i said sure no problem and left it at that.
A few days later I go back to the range to pick up my arrows and when I brought them home that night (I didn't shoot them there) I noticed right away that they were differentfrom my old arrows. Not that they were new but they felt different. So upon a closer inspection I realized that they were indeed 500 arrows but they were 8 gpi instead of 7.3 gpi. Now I shoot a 27.5inch arrow so over the length of the arrow that's 19.25 gpi difference.
I was back at the range tonight and I was talking with the owners mother who also happens to shoot/work there. She has me shoot 3 arrows of the old and new and see what happens. Well needless to say my new arrows were hitting a bitunder an inch low. I told her what was happening and she suggested going with an 85gr field tip. I shoot 100gr on the old ones. Soshe put 85gr field tips on and proceeded to shoot for my average for the upcoming300 league that's hosted there.
This change in my field tips on the new arrows seems to have worked but it kinda leaves a sour taste in my mouth because I have all new broadheads which are 100gr. Logic tells me if I want to use my new arrows for hunting I'll have to switch to 85gr broadheads. Am I just being silly or should I go back and see if I can either get the correct weight arrows or my money back?? I really like shooting there and the level of service has been top-notch up until this lil misshap. Not to mention the fact that he's given me a good deal on a new bow.
Not sure what to do so any advice would help.
thanks for listening to me rant.
