From what I understand, they are quite heavy, and adding weght to the back of the shaft, means you will have to add corresponding weight forward to address FOC changes. This may cause spine issues, and in some cases, may require people to change shafts. After all that, its time to at least resite your bow, maybe retune......from that aspect alone, legal or not, I will never use them, and could care less who does.....what I think of advantages as far as finding game, thats a complete unknown until there are some real statistics available.....not someones hearsay.

No one is questioning your experience or how many animals you look for in a given season. I merely pointed out what I have read on several posts on a few different archery sites. I added this info more as a heads up to those who choose to use them. As far as seeing some actual statistics, I suppose if you are already using them, you would know more about it than some of the rest of us. I can not say for sure what they weigh, but I have heard from your 15 grains to 25 grains, and either weight added to the back end of a shaft that is in the low end of FOC reccommendations or spine, would be a concern to a discerning archer, especially once you tip that shaft with a broadhead. If you are experiencing no problems out to 100 yards, then you are certainly doing everything right. Not arguing with you Brian, just sharing my thoughts in hopes of it helping others.
hello, i would just like to see then legal i have done a little home work for my self, and would really like to see then OK to use because it would make life a lot easier and i would like to see this valuable tool available to be used, in our state, it is still personal choice.
