i just re read update 8, im shooting gt 7595 full lenght 175 tip with 210 of brass weights behind, my foc is prety high just a little over 6 inches foc, but the brass weights take 2.5 inches behind the insert i epoxyd them in even though they fit prety tight, i was thinking that this long brass acts like a short footing, was wondering if this might be the best of both worlds, or should a footing be fastened to the shaft only and not the tip and insert? the arrows ended a bit heavyer than i would like 820 to be exact im shooting 58lb im getting low 150s for speed.
