I dont have a scale. Can you estimate total grain weight of an arrow? 23/64 POC spined 75/80,30 inches BOP, old greenie Bear Razorhead, 3 5.5 inch feathers and a plastic Mercury nock. What do you figure?

12" ruler writing pen balance the ruler on the writing pen at the 6" mark place arrow on the 0" mark and start placing coins over the 12" mark. Here's a website with modern coin weights!

Cedar? More likely about 540 grains or even lighter. Remember that Bear greenie is only about 112 to 115 grains. I have some 65/70 23/64...5" feathers and Mercury nocks that are 28" and weigh 510 grains with the Bear head.

Oh by the way the shaft I weighted spined out 85-90, the grain density is probably close to yours, yours should be right around 572 grns, that is counting the extra 1&1/2" of your shaft and the 10 grns less for your broadhead.

I have had cedar shafts vary as much as 100 grains.
Over the last 35 years my finished 11/32" cedar arrows 55-60# with 125gr head 3 5" feathers and 29" come in around 540-560gr. A 23/64 could be a tad heavier. A heavier spine could also be heavier.

As raghorn says, we can't say within up to 100 grains. - lbg
