At one time I would say "yes!". But since finding out that I can get all the weight I want (and then some) by putting the extra wt. up front, I don't need the heavier shafts.

I'd be very interested. At 15 grains per inch that's a 450 grain shaft (30" BOP)if you front loaded it up to 400 grains you'd have an 850 grain arrow which would be roughly 13 grains per pound of draw weight for a 65# bow. That should still have the speed required to have all the momentum neccasary to have an arrow pass through any critter. So I don't know why everyone is saying "way too heavy" and such.

Nope, as most said, I like to load them up front. I can shoot a .350 spine out of my 50-54# bows and use 375 up front for perfect flight. Shawn

It really depends on how they flew. That is Really Heavy which I like , but I would be worried about comprimised flight. Send me some if you get them going I'll test them!!

I'd be willing to try 'em. And I'll third the "long" request.
I think for whitetails, they might be overkill but for larger, dangerous game, or something like hogs they'd be great.
If I buy a dozen will you pay for me to go try them on Alaska moose????

I've come to believe that the keys to shooting well for me are good form, trusting the bow to do all the work, and having the confidence in the bow and myself to remain motionless and relaxed at release until the arrow hits the mark.

I'm betting you're talking about the GrizzlyStik Wood shafts. Look pretty interesting...but like some already said, I'm looking for more weight on the front end of my shafts, so I prefer a somewhat lighter shaft...

My thought as well, Grizzly Stick Woodies. Sound good but my concern is strength. It's my understanding that the manufacturer will say that the Alaskans and Safari shafts are still alot stronger than these new ones. I like the weight in the shaft but strength/durability is my # concern when paying big bucks for shafts.

At 15 grain per inch with a 29" bare shaft that would make a 435 grain shaft with a 125 grain point a 20 grain insert plus a 30 grain adapter. Lets not forget fletching and nock 20 grains + or - That make around a 630 - 640 grain arrow and correct me if I'm wrong. Wouldn't that be like an ash arrow. Put me down for a couple of dozen!!!

I'll comment further. My 34" Douglas Fir & Walnut shafts are 825g with a 145g point (yep, thats 24.3 gpi). You still aren't scaring me off, so they could be interesting.....

I would say YES. But if they are $100++ per dozen, then I would say NO.

It doesn't matter how or what you shoot, as long as you hit your target.
