Default Broadhead weights matching?

Have any of you taken the time to weigh your broadheads after you took them out of the package?
Did all 3 broadheads match? (Assuming most brands come in package of 3)
Were any of the weights way off from another broadhead?Was it enough to make a impact on
your accuracy?
Myself have never done this but also never thought about checking that until now.
Back in my Dart playing days I had mine made as the darts in the package were usually off in weight.

Thanks

P.S.-Also field tips?

One pack of my rages came out as 102, 103, and 103 grains. Not enough for me to discern a difference in them. My other pack all showed up as 102 and 103 as well. I have a third pack still unopened (got a steal on allthese as a 3 pack deal), but I'll likely not open this one and just sell it

Yes, I have weighed all my broadheads for many years and I have found that with most any quality head theywere all fairly close.

I remember this practice came to light back in the day when Chuck Adams was selling thematch grade kits through Satellite Archery. It all went by the wayside but I thought it wasa sound practice. I haven't done it in a while, but it is an interesting thought. I have to get a digital grain scale and check it out.

I always weigh my Broadheads, force of habit. The ones I have weighed in the last several years have all been extremely close with a digital scale. Several years ago I've seen some of the old Broadheads vary by 15 grains. I would say you will never encounter that today.
