If you need to increase it, you can buy lighter nocks or get heavier weight tips.

Post by: blacktailcody on August 23, 2013, 06:31:18 PM: I already have tips. Need to add weight to the front. Is there something I can put behind the insert? Need to add 40-50 grains.

Post by: Jonathan_S on August 23, 2013, 06:35:07 PM: 50 grains? :yike:

You're sure about that? I really don't know, I did all my calculations before purchasing components so I can't really give much advice there but PM RadSav or somebody who's dealt with it before.

Can you not buy heavier broadheads?

Dont do that. If you really are interested in adding weight to your tips without upgrading broadhead weight u can get a heavier insert. Some of the brass inserts weight 80-100 grains compaired to the 8-12 grain standards.
