So last year I spent a lot of time, energy, and money perfecting arrows for hunting. I don't want to take them to TAC and splinter them all in one weekend. What could I do for practice arrows that would fly nearly the same?
I forget the exact weight of my arrows, but say they are 525 grains. I guess I could try to mimic the weight, length, etc and they should be pretty darn close. I don't want to install collars and expensive inserts in them though. I'd probably just use heavier field points.
I also thought that it wouldn't be a bad idea to come up with a lighter arrow to shoot at a lower poundage for higher practice reps. It would be nice to have the trajectory be close to the same to avoid changing my sight and just for learning the flight path of the arrow. Could I calculate what weight to make the lighter arrow if I turn my bow to 60 pounds with an online trajectory calculator and determining my bows energy? Which calculator?
What have you done? Thoughts? Advice?
Thanks!
