Ok, so with advice from hangers here I learned I needed heavier arrows. I'm shooting GT 3555 cut to 29" (26.5 draw) out of a 55# samick sage. I've measure the bow at my draw and it's pulling 53#. I put 100gr inserts in and with an old 125gr Muzzy 4 blade trocar tip total weight was 496gr. I wanted to get to atleast 10gpp so I wanted to add 100gr. I called the only shop local that I know carries some trad stuff. They didn't have the screw in weights. So what I ended up doing was cutting a length of 14ga electrical wire with some shrink wrap that came out to 100gr. I then cut in half, twisted it and shrieked wrapped the ends. I stuffed these in behind the insert. They fit really tightly and I'm not worried about it moving. So now total weight for all 4 arrows is +-4 grains from 595 grains. They are amazingly accurate. I was easily getting 3" groups at 20yds. But they do look like there is some tail movement during flight. Not much, but a little. Is it possible the 3555 is now too weak? I could cut some off if that would help, but I'd like to keep this weight. Also I'd like to make these work rather than have to go buy new arrows. I know the sage is cut slightly past center and I only have a small piece of felt as a side plate.
