RE: heaviest carbon shaft...
thanx guys...
Bob, no change of spine with JUST weight tubes??? thats always been my fear is they will change the spine or not fly the same from every arrow or something...
i know being overspined isnt bad....but im already sitting on overspined arrows....fly great...but i was just saying to make a heavier carbon, the arrows would be WAY too stiff...and if i add weight up front it will drop me to "ideal" and weak real quick....so to add weight up front im looking to trim the shaft to stiffin it back up....
50gr inserts and 3gpi weight tubes sounds like the ultimate arrow...with 125-150gr 2blade heads...on top of 10.6gpi...LOVE my XP selects..shoot great and tough as can be....just looking for a bit more weight...
never know when an elephant is gunna charge
wont be working on this till AFTER the season....but i like planning and crunching numbers and working out compenent stuff early....try not to overlook options and try to get it all right the first time...im gunna end up with about 20 shafts setup like this...i want it all to be right the first time around...

But adding weight on the front or back of the arrow will change spine characteristics of the arrow.

RE: heaviest carbon shaft...
thanx bob! sounds like i'll be getting some weight tubes after this season...too close to tinker now.....and my muzzys might fold up with that kinda weight behind them 
i know adding to the front and back will change the spine characteristics...just thought the weight tubes would stiffen them up for some season.....
