Thanks BowEd,
I'm wondering that as well, all I have is a mechanical scale for weighing out gunpowder to reload ammo... I will see if I can come up with a way to use it and get the weight of the arrows.
BowEd:
Care if I guess???I'll say the arrow shown finished there to be 465 grains total.Making arrows can be relaxing if your not pressured with a time factor and want to make them to see what they'll be.I had to make myself a spiner[$20.00]/buy a grain scale[$20.00] to make matched arrow sets of either split timber or shoot shafts but I never regretted it.
Trapper Rob:
Those look nice.

HA! thats an amazing guess!!! Or you have made a lot of pine arrows :D
I just measured them with a food scale and used google to convert from grams to grains. I came up with;
370gr for the bare shafts
460gr for the finished arrows
That should be +-15gr... good enough 8)
+1 on the arrow making being relaxing.
