Does anyone make a 210-215 grain glue-on field point???

Just what the title says...

200 yes,,,but i think you'd be hard pressed to find exactly what you need. I would just get the 5grain washers and build what you need from there.

The heaviest I've found is 190 grain.. I've built some with woody weights and lighter points but it would be nice to find field points to match the BH's folks sell.. seems to me if you're gonna sell a 210-215 grain BH that you'd at least get within 10 grains with a field point..    

 I know it don't make a hill of beans in the greater scheme of things... but it's the principle of the thing..

I have seen 225 grainers too, but specific 210-215 no, but as said a 200 grainer and a couple 5grain brass washers would work. Mike, why so specific?? I find with carbons anyway 10-20 grains does not change flight any at all, as most times ones draw can be off by a 1/16th or 1/8th. inch anyway. and as most will tell you I am a bit weird when it comes to my thoughts on tuning carbons!     Shawn

You can melt as much as 30 gns of split shot in a 190 gn FP before it starts to interfere with the wood too much.

Wood....      No carbon in my quivers    

I'd take a 225 or 250 and cut it down in the lathe.. but I've never seen a glue-on over 190

The 190's I have are not that deep, I've cut my taper to 3/4" and they start hitting at 10 grains of lead.. maybe I can find some that are a good bit deeper but I hate to cut the taper shorter..

My bad did not see glue-on in title! Shawn

Tuffhead has a 225 gr brass point.If you wanted the exact weight bad enough,you could put them in a drill and turn down the point with a mill file till you got it.

Thanks, that'll get me a lot closer than the 190 and turning them down isn't a problem... I'd rather be 10 grains heavy than 25 grains light..
