adding weight to 2117 &2216

[tyee]

anyone have a idea dont want weight forward I want to add about 65 grns to the total arrow weight any on know of a tube for these shafts

Try some nylon rope! I've also heard of stuffing them full of styrofoam like the layer's in the block targets.  I don't think the foam will weigh that much, I think they said it come's out to about 28 to 30 grn's. Worth a try I guess!! Jason

Thats a tough one,65 grs. is not a whole lot of weight.To get alittle heavier arrow with aluminum I find it easier to go up a spine and use a heavier point or leave them alittle longer.Weight tubes add weight to carbons but they are smaller in diameter for those aluminum,they will rattle inside.

Well with wood, several coats of finish, whether paint or clear coat, will add weight. How much Im not sure. Several coats of clear coat, maybe?
Feasible?

have any body tried the spray foam for sealing cracks? i was wondering how that might work on aluminum arrows, mabe a little weight plus quiet down the ting of metal...

A buddy of mine does this and it works great. Less noise in the quiver too!

If you do some work with point weight and or shaft length - go up to a 2219.  H

Get the soft pliable foam like Covey mentions. Take the insert out of the point end and use the arrow like a cookie cutter on the foam. Then take a small diameter dowel and use it like a ramrod and pact the foam all the way to the nock end. Continue this way until you have filled the shaft with foam. I can get about 50 to 55 grains in my 28.5 inch 2117's. Total arrow weight is 550 grains with 125 heads. Also deadens the sound of the hollow aluminum shafts. If you shafts are a little longer, 65 grains shouldn't be a problem.

sounds like the answer thanks Rick
