What would this arrow weigh?
« on: December 27, 2007, 12:11:00 AM »
Carbon Express Heritage, 31" BOP, with 175 grain tip, 3-5" sheilds, and nock.  I'm guessing a tad under 600 grains, am I close?

I've got a 71# - 72# longbow on the way and am thinking my Gold Tip Big Game shafts are going to be a bit stiff.  Even if I go to a lot heavier tip.  Don't know for sure where this bow is cut to centerwise, but I'm thinking to center but not past...  Boss T/D, 62", 68# @ 28", and I draw a tad over 29".

Thanks all!

-Jeff

CE 350 Heritage = 12 per inch X 31 = 372gr
Insert = 11gr
Nock = 8.7  (let's say 9gr)
3x5" fletching (just weighted them) 12gr
175gr tip                              

Total=  579gr

Hope this helps

That is about what I was figuring on the weight Mark.  Will probably have to find some more weight somewhere... weight tubes maybe.

Thanks all, Jeff.

Jeff: I've used weed eater line (square cross-section) in Heritage 150's.
I folded it back on itself at both ends, more at the tip for weight there. The folding cuts down on it rattling around inside the shaft.
