5/16" Wingnut Weight?
« on: March 05, 2007, 07:16:00 PM »
Making up a batch of wingnutters, and just curious: How much does a 5/16" wingnut weigh, if anyone knows?

The ones I hve weigh in at 210 grains on my 3 Rivers electronic scale.  The regular nuts weighed in at 120 grains.

The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.

Seems pretty heavy, Walt. I think that may be a 3/8" wingnut, and not a 5/16", because I know Southpawshooter makes up a head composed of a 8/32" machine screw, a small nut, a washer, and a 5/16" wingnut that weighs in at 210 grains...

If your going to use them on aluminium or carbon arrows,I know that a 1/4" wingnut and a stainless steel 1" 8-32 flat head machine screw (w/beeswax) weigh 125grs.
