Well, today was a good day. After some bare-shaft testing, I got my arrows flying spot on with some Magnus I 2-blades. With a friends help (thanks Ron W), we were able to weigh one of my finished arrows. It turned out to be around 825-grains for total arrow weight. Pig medicine, for sure.

Good job Chris.  They should look nice going through one of the hogs you will shoot in a couple of weeks.

Good luck to you and Drew.

The finishing post on this thread...

 

A well-straightened, sealed, and tuned hickory arrow is as capable as anything else out there. Grouping was done from 20 yards. I think I'm ready for the pigs...
