Typical Arrow Components Grain Weight
 
I'm trying to find something (or if someone wants to volunteer the info) that shows what typical grain weights are for arrow components, and i'm not having much luck. I'm trying to calculate my average arrow weight so i can get a round about average on what fps my arrows are shooting at. I don't really buy custom things, so my arrows usually just come with whatever inserts and nocks are included in the packaging.

What are the usual weight ranges for the following (for carbon shaft arrows):

1. nock
2. vanes (all 3)
3. inserts

non arrow:
4. oval shape peep + tubing
5. kisser button

i appreciate it. the gpi i usually can find on my arrows, or doing some internet searching, but these things i can't find any info on.

I went to my basement "shop" (not yet) and round up some things and put them on my grain scale. Now I understand we don't know what nock/vane/insert your using but here's what I found laying around.

1. A standard G nock, inserts into XX75, XX78, ICS, Gold Tip etc weigh in at 12 grains
An ACC nock, smaller than the G nock weigh in at 6 grains

2. 4" vanes weigh 8 grains, x 3 or 24 for all 3
3" vanes weigh 6 grains, x3 or 18 for all 3
2" Blazers, 6 grains, x3 or 18 for all 3.

3. Not sure what your using here. I weighed what I had, a 2312 aluminum insert weighed 38 grains, a 2213 weighed 39 grains and an ACC aluminum insert weighed 9 grains.

Didn't have a peep to weigh nor a kisser.
