Greetings.....Just curious but what is the heaviest point / tip you've ever had to add to an arrow to get it to tune / fly well ???? Thanks & as always..be safe !!! Des

350 ish. I have some old 2219s I don't shoot, but they are great arrows. I had to add a 160 and some woody weights I made, then they shot great again at my current 65.

I generally build my arrows to fly with 125-145. Not a fan of nose-heavy arrows. Had some ages ago that needed 200+, hated them.

What Dana said.

Point weight is just breaking down static spine to get the dynamic reaction you need.

220 gr

I like large broadheads so I generally use extra stiff shafts. I usually use 165, 175, and 200 grain heads.

200 grain

165

I like to use 150 gr points and broadheads so I set my arrows up to use them. I tried the heavy FOC thing with some stiffer spine arrows and had to use 100 gr brass inserts with 200 gr points and don't like the way they fly. I only shoot 42-50 lbs so 150 is what I like to use with no more than a 50 gr insert depending on arrow.

125 145 160 and 190 depending on arrow spine.

I have up to 100 to 300 to check shafts when tuning before cutting or changing spine. I don't like to end up with over 150. Not only because of slowing them down but broadheads in the 125 150 range are a lot more common. The more choices usually the less expensive. They have accounted for many deer, hogs, Javelina, & a couple of bears. >>>----> Ken
