woody weights
« on: January 24, 2009, 11:41:00 AM »
Got some 125 grainers from Drew (thanks buddy) and although I have yet to try them on an animal, I can tell a real difference when shooting bales. They give considerably more penetration. The only problem is, I only have half a dozen right now. Looks like I will be buying some more so all my arrows will shoot to the same POI; the non weighted arrows shoot quite a bit higher, so I am having to relearn my sight picture, but it is well worth it. You guys shooting wood might want to give these things a try.

centaur,
I've been looking at them too, I want to shoot the 125 grain woody weights with 125 grain heads.
If you don't mind I have a couple questions.
(1) what's your total weight up front
(2) did you have to go up in spine, if so how much more?
Thanks
Daren

I didn't change spine (shooting 65-70 out of a 55# bow). I also used 125 grain heads with the weights. Arrows fly really well, and my cedars now weight right at 620 grains.

I just got some that are 75gr. to go on some 70#-75# POC. I will be used some 160gr. STOS heads with them. I have some of these shafts tuned at 29.5"bop with 160gr. tips. So I hope I will still be able to tune these with that much weight up front...maybe have to cut them down to 29". If not, I have some 80#-85# shafts that they will work with.
