I have no idea how much my arrows weigh. Guy at the shop where I bought the bow said they were close to the minimum for 73# pull on this bow (X Force). I shoot the Pro Series 200X Weave Radials. They are 27" long with 2" blazer veins and a 90 gr tip. Any guesses on this?? 325 gr 400 gr??? Help me figure this out, I have no way of weighing them!!

Doesn't the archery shop have a scale? If you shoot 3 D some clubs may have a scale and weigh it for you.

Do you have a buddy who might have a reloading scale?

I weigh all my components and assemble my arrows to be certain they are within 3 grains of each other when complete.

Easton Archery was a web site which gives shaft weights and information on their products.

I asked him and he just they are close....what a guy!!! I ain't going down that road tonight, we already had a thread on archery shop hospitality, or lack there of. I don't have anyway of weighing them. I just need to know if they are heavy enough to shoot out of this bow at this # pull weight, I shot them all last year with no problems, yet... I was wondering if they are in 350-400 gr range

Blazer vanes = 6 grains each
insert = maybe 15 grains +/- a couple
nock = 8 grains +/-
tip = 90 grains

So now take your arrow's grains per inch and multiply by 27

I'm far from an expert.....but at 73#'s I'd be shooting 400's. I shot 300's out of my 64# setup.

The lower number (200) usually means a stiffer spine (less deflection when weight is applied)which would be right for 70+ pounds but I am not familiar with X weave radials and they may number their arrows differently.

X-Forces are rated down to 4gpp.


I'd say with a 200 you are around 330gr, I'd bet that's close.

I shot radial x-weaves for 2 years. My son shot 200's out of his 60# setup (what our shop recommended). He shoots 300's, now....out of his 64# setup.

Thanks guys, Im trying to figure the numbers now, shop owner told me it was close but ok, but is that going to cover me under warranty when the limbs blow???!! if 350 gr is the minimum, and Im shooting somewhere around 330 gr, Im suprised it hasn't blow up in my face yet!! Now I did buy some 300 pro series X weaves on sat. so maybe that will help, but all last year I shot the 200 series. I hope I haven't screwed up my bow...

Vabow~~~ How would anyone ever know what size arrow you are shooting if say the limbs do decide to blow apart?? If this would happen I would take my bow along with a set of heavy arrows to the shop with me and say I dont know what happened ???

I am sure I wouldnt be the only one to do this??
