Building the Perfect Arrow

[SPIKER]

I shall use it also.

I got my PDP weight system in today but didn't have time to install any. I'm still not satisfied with my arrow performance. Tomorrow is another day. I'll post some pics of these little buggers...they look insignificant, but they weigh true on the scale.

So?....how goes the battle?

Well, I cut them down, and added the weight system..15 gr behind the insert, with an 85 gr head...except that the Magnus Stingers weigh 90.1 gr. Not a problem as I have 90 gr FPs...weird, huh?

It seems that the weight added inside the arrow is different than the weigh added by a heavier tip.

So right now I'm still in the tinkering stage, but this setup is proving to be the best right now.

345GR finished weight w/ 9.46% FOC.

I went completely the other way today, and went with two different grain arrows very close to one another.

A bare Victory shaft with Blazers, and an 85, then a 90 gr head.

Here are the results as I decreased the poundage down to 61.3# then progressed up to 65#.

305gr @ 61.1# 4.83gpp 16.4# holding weight (73.5% letoff) = 320fps
310gr @ 61.3# 5.05gpp 16.4# holding weight (73.5% letoff) = 319fps

305gr @ 63.5# 4.80gpp 16.5# holding weight (74.02% letoff) = 325fps
310gr @ 63.5# 4.88gpp 16.5# holding weight (74.02% letoff) = 324fps

305gr @ 64.5# 4.72gpp 17.0# holding weight (73.64% letoff) = 330fps
310gr @ 64.5# 4.80gpp 17.0# holding weight (73.64% letoff) = 327fps

305gr @ 65.0# 4.65gpp 17.3# holding weight (73.38% letoff) = 333 fps
310gr @ 65.0# 4.76gpp 17.3# holding weight (73.38%letoff) = 330fps

The holding weight is tough as it goes by how hard you pull into the back wall..I tried to be consistant, but it could vary.

The speed between the 5gr difference heads increased to 3fps as the bow went up in poundage as opposed to the 1 fps that occured at the lower level.

Also, that last 1/2 pound increase jumped me up 3 fps as well.

To be continued.

I figured you would. I still have to shoot groups to see which is the best for accuracy, spine, and flat flight.

Nice, I found the sweet spot on the bow as far as rest placement, cam lean, ATA, etc...65# 333fps..stacking them...yes.

Late I know, I recently had issues with inserts coming loose after using the adhesive recommended ... so I went another way ...
Steel Force™ Beyond Bond Glue and Accelerator Combo Pack - this stuff is no joke. Trust me it sets in about 5 seconds and is ready to shoot anything you may want to. Just don't get it on your fingers ... it's no fun having to cut your fingers apart. I almost even cried, but it was so good I didn't I was laughing to hard. LOL

Will soaking in acetone cut the glue?

I am using gorrilla glue now.
The strong bond is amazing and it gives me lots of work time
