Yea strange topic but going back to school and remembering teachers saying there is no such thing as a dumb question, where I am trying to get everything as close to the same between 6 arrows and points/broadheads so as not to have an equipment excuse. Have even swapped broadhead blades between ferrules to get all weighing within .6 grains. At present heaviest is 129.9 gr and lightest is 129.3gr. These are supposedly 125 grain broadheads, am I correct in assuming that being they are heavier than advertised is a benefit as they will produce more KE on "impact" and as long as don't hit a major bone, i.e. shoulder, they should/could be a bone breaking impact and as long as they are shaving sharp likely to get a pass through out to 40 yards coming from a bow with 60lb draw weight and proper shot placement?

buckfvr:
Even at 20 yards, @ 60lb, if you center punch a rib on the way in.....all bets are off.     :twocents:

 Great listen and some amazing science based information on arrow penetration. Many great tips that culminate in better penetration but one I have not done but will.  Sharpen all blades and polish just like you would a straight razor. That one thing can be done by pretty much everyone. Fine grit sand paper the canvas strip wit paste then bare leather.

You should focus more time on bare shaft tuning your bow for perfect arrow flight. Then none of the other stuff will matter. Being off a few grains won’t make a difference on impact points. Ribs are no match for a fixed head flying straight.

TooTallMike:
What’s your total arrow weight and have you calculated your FOC?

That variation between your 6 arrows should not make much of a difference if any
