10 Point Arrows
 

Hey Randy: My puter says you're here, but the dang thing lies some. Who makes the carbons you guys sell, and what's the names for the 420 gr and 431 gr? How do those plastic nocks wear, and lastly, how do you change them w/o a threaded hole? i lied, lol, what's the diff in the two aforementioned arrows? Thanks, I searched the 10 pt site and couldn't find the info.

RE: 10 Point Arrows
 

Im not sure on the weight difference if there even is a weight difference I know that the proelite arrows are the standard arrows tipped with field points. and that both are made by Gold Tip the preminum hunter ones come with eithe Nap Thunderheads or Nap spitfiresindividually tuned and testedfor truness and the names are TenPoint ProElite and ProElite Preminum Hunters. they are a 20 inch 22/64 shaft and they are weight testedand hand selected to within 2 grains per dozen and they are fletched with Norway Duravanes that info is from the 2005 online catalog if I missed anything or if you want the excite write up on them I could try to copy and paste it and send it to you via E-Mial.
and so far as the plastic nocks they are wearing fine for me the only problem I have had with them is when you have a robinhood they tend to shatter..lol..

Randy, why don't manufacturers make the nock ends with threads??? It seems to me that when they are threaded there are a few benifits.

Dan,
The sahfts are made from Gold Tip, as is the brass insert, but it is a heavier insert then the one they normally produce. We then have them fletched and nocked on our end.
I am not sure where the 2 different weights came from. There is only one arrow. Yes, weight does vary from shaft to shaft, but we have found them to be very close. The arrow that we use on the Premium Hunter arrows are the same as the regular 6 pack, but we weigh them and tune them with the broad head on. They are within 2 grains of each other on the Premium Hunters.
We use the superbrite inserts for 2 reasons. One, they are easy to seeboth during and after the shot. The second is they have a square notch in the back. This is so you can put a nock tool in to easily refletch your arrow in a standard fletching jig.
I hope this clears up any questions. If not, let me know.
Randy

Randy, in addition to my first question, how does Ten Point suggest you use the square unthreaded nock to be used in a fletching tool??? I know that you can get a special attachment for the Bohning and the Biztenberger but what about the Grayling, Martin and others?

RE: 10 Point Arrows
 

We have an insert that goes into the notch and it ends like a normal arrow nock, so it fits most any fletching jig with no problem.

RE: 10 Point Arrows
 

Randy: the reason I ask is I've seen one at 420 gr and the other at 431 gr. Are you saying there is no difference in weight between the Hunter and Pro-Elite? Are those just terms for the way they are tipped? thanks!

RE: 10 Point Arrows
 

Randy, that sounds very neat! Do you have a pic for us to see?

Randy, that sounds neat! Do you have a pic for us to see? And why no aluninum rear inserts with threads? Is is simply because of the cost versus the frequency of need?
