Adding tip weight?
 

I am currently shooting 28'' Maxima 250s with 100gr heads and 3 4'' feathers out of a 60lb 28'' draw Marquis. Would they still spine ok if I added 50grs to the tip.

You should be fine depending on your arrow length you can refer to carbon express web site arrow chart for more help

50gr is too much. Its going to make you too weak spined for that setup. You can 25gr. Or cut your arrows to 27" then add the 50gr.

I agree but even at 27" and adding 50 grains it would be close. The Marquis seems to prefer a stiffer spine in my experience, but IMO if you can get them down to 27" you should be Ok adding 50 grains.

Thanks guys! I will have to see what I can do. I was thinking of just doing 25gr for now.
Would 2'' blazers make any difference? Also one more question. Do weight tubes stiffen arrow spine? Thanks again!

One solution is to use the gold tip wieght system. You can add wieght to front and back for added weight.

They say wieght tubes don't add spine, but I have not had the best of luck with em. And they are expensive IMO.

Thanks again! I will keep snooping and tinkering around to see what I can come up with.

what do yall think of the short blazer vanes? what are the pros and cons?

Personally I Love Feathers! I really don't think any fletching compares in all the advantages you get from feathers, but..................

If I were to use Vanes the Blazers or QS Speedhunter ST's would be my choice

Will more FOC help in penetration?

If I shoot 56lbs instead of 60 could I add a 50gr insert without cutting my arrows down?

Hmmmm......feathers huh? i guess ive never tried them. what exactly are the advantages to feathers??

I like feathers because you can knock chunks out of em and still shoot ok where a vane will usuall fall off, just dont get em wet

I play with all sorts of fletching combos every summer but I just can't find anything else that is as consistent as feathers. They are much lighter which helps your FOC. They are more forgiving of any contact on or off the bow. They also stabilize and guide an arrow quicker and better than anything else IMO.

Thankyou bigcountry!
