Footing length??

[Kenneth]

I found out that my 2016'a are the perfect size to foot my MFX 500's and cut a few and glued them on.  What length do you guys normally use for footings?  I cut mine to 1 1/2" which adds 16gr. to the front and they paper tune perfect.

thanks,
Ken

You probably have the length that you need for your arrow but it wouldn't hurt to try a longer one with more weight and see it if still flys good.  I would personally find the upper limit before I settled.  It is fun learning process.

For me I just used 1" to foot my Axis/MFX shafts.I just wanted to cover the front part of the insert and make 5/16" points fit more flush.

I have settled on an inch.I think it mainly strengthens things regarding frontal impacts and an inch is enough for that.When I want front end weight,I use a combination of brass insert,steel adaptors and glue on broadheads to get where I need to go.I can even fine tune a few grains by adding a few #6 lead shot between adaptor and head,when I need to.

thanks guys!  it sounds like I'm about right where I need to be.

I think so.
