lenght of hunting points?
Allyn T:
Did you happen to weigh any of them and see how many grains they are
mullet:
The weight doesn't really matter. You will probably find that they will be light compared to steel broadheads.
Allyn T:
It matters if he has a weight goal and in matching points
M2A:
Never looked at the weight of any point I tried to make yet, so went down and checked it out this morning. Didnt know what to expect to be honest. From my understanding stone should be lighter, just like Mullet said. From left to right in pic 31,113,116,90,370 grains. A little heavier than I had hoped but I know they are not as thin as they maybe should be.
I'll have to try again with some different dimensions, but I agree Allyn that weight should be consistent with in a few(maybe 5-10 grains?) Lots to consider.

Outbackbob48:
If your using trad type bows and 20 yds and under for hunting distances 50 grain differences in weight is nothing to worry about, 99% of shooters can't tell the difference in accuracy at that distance, Precision wts. and FOC and speed are a wheely mentality thing, Haft them up and see which ones shoot best for you, resharpen and use, make real sure on the sharpness. Shot placement is crucial with all types of points, If hit in the ass with a stone point or latest new fangled head It is still an ass hit. Bob
