carbon point weight

[BUCKY]

What are some of you shooting up front on your carbons? Give me point weight,adapter and insert total. Thanks.

I am shooting a CX heritage 350 with a 100 grain brass insert and a 150 grain Magnus stinger for a total of 250 up front.

I am working on a heavier arrow right now.  It is a CE Heritage 250 with 360 up front (100 gr brass insert, 100 grain steel broadhead adapter, and 160 grain STOS/Zwickey/Grizzley).  My bow is a R/D longbow shooting approximately 55# at my 27" draw length.  I just started bare shafting and it is showing slightly weak at full length so I don't know exactly what it will weigh when I am done trimming it down but I am shooting for 650-700 grains total arrow weight.

I shoot 5575 arrows with a 100 grain brass insert, and a 100 grain broadhead adapter, and a 125 broadhead. Total up front is 325 or so. My bow is a 55 pound black swan impala. This setup shoots hard and is still fast.

I'm shooting 305 up front now on my aluminums. I might switch to carbons but to get the same arrow weight I might need 335 to 385 up front. Is this crazy ?

Just worked up some CX250's...29", 100 grain brass adapter and 125 head.  595gr total weight, and JUST in the Extreme FOC range at 19.2%
Shooting these from a 55# hybrid LB, they fly much flatter than the 650gr cedars

AD Trad Lites with 75 and 100 grain brass inserts, and 125 and 150 grain screw-in broaheads. 225 up front works best for me.

If you are by chance looking for around 300+ up front check out the 300 grain broadheads on Bob Morrison's website.

[Jason R. Wesbrock]

I use 125-grain points with standard inserts/adapters -- RPS adapters for screw-in field points, Flightmate adapters for broadheads.

I suppose that would put the total point/adapter/insert weight total at around 145 grains.

Bucky, Tom convinced me to try some GTs out of my Turkey Creek. A full-length (30") 3555 with 300 grains up front weighs in at 580 grains. And they fly like darts.

[BUCKY]

Anybody else?

[Featherbuster]

Easton Axis 340's with 100 grain brass insert, 125 grain steel adapter and 125 WW.  that puts me at 350 gr up front

[The Whittler]

Beman 500 with 100gr insert, with a 175gr point = about 520gr.

Jason should say he also has a gorilla draw!!    I am shooting Heritage 150's cut to 29.5"s out of a 54#@28.5" Arroyo with 50 grain brass insert and 125 grain heads. Shawn
