Be careful to watch the weight on the aquarium tubing and not just the length...can make a big difference.
I never thought of that. All of mine shoot the same so I just figured they weighed pretty close together. I never shoot past 15 yards with my recurve so I probably wouldn't notice a difference at that range unless it was a huge difference.
Thanks for the tip though. Now I get to weigh all my arrows and tinker with my man toys.
This brings up a good point I've been wondering about. I posted about it earlier but didn't get any responses. I have decide I'll be making lighted nocks for all my hunting arrows, but wonder how the extra 15-18 grains at the nock end of the arrow will make it fly. Will it have drastically negative effects? Should i balance it out by adding more weight to the tip? Anyone with experience or suggestions in this arena, I'd be glad to know.
3 Rivers Archery in Ohiya carries weight tubes in various weights. They've got a website if you want to take a look. They carry 3, 5, and 8 grain per inch tubes.
