and there is up to a 20 grain difference between 2 of them and average 8-11 between the remaining. Is this really going to make a difference. i shoot consistantly. day after day any thoughts or just dont worry about it?
-
are they all the same arrows and tip weights? If they are it sounds like you have some that are longer??? You shouldn't have more than a 2-3 grain difference in any of them. Yes 20 grains can make a difference...
-
Sounds to me like some are cut differently or you have different vanes, tips, etc.. My arrows are all within 2 gr. of each other.. Most within less than 1 gr..
-
two are the same and then three the same. the 2 are 10 gr. difference and cut the same length and the three are 8 gr. difference cut the same length. a few have different inserts but thats it. the big grain difference is between the two different arrows. i have my crappy small game arrows(2) and then my deer/elk arrows(3).

I'd take all those arrows and put them in a corner. Go buy a half dozen or dozen matching arrows. Shoot the same arrows for everthing.

:yeah:
I would never shoot your current batch of arrows at an animal unless I limited my shots to 10 yards or less. :twocents:
Well, maybe grouse.

the three for deer i shoot tight groups of 3 in or less out to 40 yards and 5-9in at 60yrds. the other arrows are 20yrds and under. and i dont take shots over 40 at deer unless for a follow up. i'm a tree stand hunter and the farthest i've ever took is 32 yrds but average at less than 15 yrds

Even with that being the case, I would agree about getting some new all around matching arrows. If your not going to be shooting that far get a dozen aluminum's for less money and go kill some critters.

This close to the season I wouldn't be inclined to change things up. I would keep the 3 arrows that match and use them this season. After the season I would do what was advised and put all the arrows aside and get a dozen new arrows.
-
Take the 3 arrow down to a local pro shop and have them match them and get another half dozen
-
just got some arrows today that all way the exact same. Shooting a little different than the others so i will be shooting alot this weekend.
-
yeah pic the ones that are the closest to the same weight and use them. that would drive me nuts! i would make sure next year or the late season i would have matching arrows. it could make the difference :IBCOOL:
-
MAN,A LOT OF PEOPLE WAIT TO THE LAST SECOND,THAT WOULD DRIVE ME NUTS!!!!
-
HAD MORE ARROWS BUT MY BUDDY DECIDED TO SHOOT A FEW WHEN I WASN'T AROUND AND BROKE THEM!!!!
