I usually just say 45grs +the weight of the shaft and tip.
9.3 x 28 = 260
nock = 9
insert = 10
blazer = 21
broadhead = 100gr F-15
=400 total weight
Is this a fairly close estimate or am I forgeting something? Is this an average weight for a 60lb Hoyt Vectrix @ 28in draw length? I'd rather be heavier and pack a little more punch than be all about speed and less penetration.
