Default Any "LIGHT" freaks out there

I am a little upset that my new arrows I set up are coming in a little heavier than I thought they would.

PSE radial pros - little cut down wrap - and blazers - 75 grn tip

I may be pushing 355 grains this season[:-][:-][:-]

I was shooting for 345 or so

I might as well go back 2317's [:@]

Ditch the wrap? Replace Blazers with feathers? Ya just never know when 10 grains is gonna tick somebody off.[8D]

If you go back to 2317s, maybe you want to use those "ultralight" Sims vanes and a 150-200 gr. point.[8D]

You want "light" I want 400, my current arrow came in at 385 so now I'm considering what to buy next time that would spine right and come in at 400.

Different strokes for different folks
