Title: Does 9 grains change POI for you?
Post by: SnakeEyes on December 07, 2024, 01:27:49 PM: I had to refletch some Traditional Only arrows, which come with a wrap. I ended up just removing the wrap and putting the feathers on directly. However, it seems these arrows are now around 8-9 grains lighter than my other arrows.

Initially they were hitting higher, but I'm wondering if it was a mental thing I was forcing. I was able to get them to group with my others.

Just curious on the general consensus.

It's really hard to say.....one bow/arrow settup it wouldn't mean anything, another settup might be so close to marginal that it makes a difference.

My current settip.....25 grains makes zero difference

lol hopefully you know what I mean. I think it was more mental for me. 9 grains doesn't mean much hunting with compounds as far as POI. Since I'm new to TRAD, just wanted to check if they were more finicky with that low of weight change

Double that? I'd see a small difference possibly.

Post by: Bob Morrison on December 20, 2024, 08:11:08 AM: it will not affect the POI at all, l but will the arrow spine.
