question for the arrow experts

Post by Deaf jeff »

a friend asked me to make a dozen 20" arrows for him. he wants to end up with shooting approximately 450 grains total weight. he shoots 100 grain bh's and a lumenok, will have blazer vanes(cuz thats what i have on hand) and most likely BBE's. can you tell me which weight brass up front will get me close to this weight so i order the correct ones the first time. please?TIA

Well with blazers at around 8 grains each and what ever the rear nocks weigh, the weight choices are 85 / 92 / 110. The Executioner weight is 9.0 per inch.

110gr insert will put you about 436gr total with the specs you provided, you could easily bump it up a little if you wanted with screw in weights for the insert from SSAS.

If you add a 15 gr add a weight or set screw to the 110 grass should get you to about 450.
Glue in the add a weight and only engage the threads 2 turns so to leave plenty room for point thread engagement.
