Ive always favored a heavier arrow for hunting. I realize my arrows are light by todays heavy arrow resurgence standards. Last year I shot 450 grain carbon express SD red zone arrows with 100 grain heads (450 total weight).Those arrows fly and group great for me but with the half outsert style front end they are not durable at all. The actual outsert is strong but the arrow is somewhat compromised and breaks right behind the connection a lot. Also the inserts are not consistantly straight. 7 out of 10 won’t spin true with a straight broadhead. So this year I switched to the standard carbon express red zone arrows and again they preform great with my setup (29 inch arrows 100 grain heads shot from Bow Tech Realm SS 70 pounds 29.5 inch draw). Because these arrows have a standard insert they are 50 grains lighter at total weight of 400 grains.
My question is how can I add total weight to my arrow without screwing up the excellent performance I’m getting. If I simply add 125 heads will that put too much weight forward?
Id like to use these arrows but is there another high quality arrow with good FOC out of the box I should consider? Ive read that Easton and gold tip offer a ton of different add on weights but not sure I can afford to buy a bunch of higher end arrows and accessories to test. I’d like to find high quality with high straightness tolerances that perform great with fixed blade broad heads and be at 450 to 500 grains total weight.
Any help would be appreciated
