I heard an explosion recently and thought they were blasting up the road, now I know what it was!
Tough one, I too am consistently playing the how small can tips be game. I guess the rules get exagerated with draw weights that heavy.
All in all a good lesson in more more woops too much,

I'll take a pic of the tip and post it later. Way too small for the weight, obviously! I think the problem was more the thickness than the width. I took too much off in the string groove, basically cutting it too deep. Live and learn.
It's a bit confusing in the picture. That's the top tip. It actully has two grooves. The top groove you can see in the picture is the stringing groove. The String nock is below that, and that's where it failed... in the string groove.

Pics of the broken tip.

Remember, that's the top tip, and the groove that's intact is the stringing groove. I'll leave a bit more meat next time!
