Jesse, what type of rock is that? Looks like some of the novaculite stuff.

DBernier:
I tend to agree with Mullet. A small variance in weight, 50 to 100 grains is no big deal at the ranges we shoot at. I weighed 6 shafts for equal weigh.  I wrapped lead solder on the shafts opposite the nock to get them to 550 grains. I installed the obsidian heads of various weights. I did not fletch them. I used a compound bow release and shot them at 18 yards, almost the length of my cellar. The group was about 7 inch's and the lowest shot would have harvested the animal. I'm convinced that "we" have more variance in our shooting styles than the differential in weight causes. My 2 cents.
