So I've been wanting to add some weight to the front of my arrow. I shoot 55lbs @29in. My arrows are cut to the end of my shelf making the 31 1/4 inches. their Mayhem hunter 350. With a 125 grain head how much more weight can I add before I risk having too much flex on the launch?

In all likely hood if you trim those shaft back to 29" you can add a lot.

I am also looking into doing that. Once I figure out how much I can add I can start building and looking into what will work best. Thanks for the advice.

Thew only way you can truly know is by experimentation. Cut your arrows to the desired length and then start adding weight. Brass inserts, heavier points, or 8-32 set screws to the back of your inserts (1" weighs 29 gr) or you can buy the screw-in insert weights. Once you find what won't tune then back of a bit and your set.

http://thearcheryprogram.com/ never buy the wrong arrow or cut anything wrong again. i use this program and it allows you to match arrows to your bow before you buy them. its a very accurate program. i spend around 500$a dozen for arrows and believe me i dont want to be buying 2 or 3 different sets to come up with a what id consider a perfect arrow. . i think this program still offers a free trial.

didn't see anything about a free trial but the program looks like a good investment.

Are they gold?? How do you get a $42 arrow or are you including broadhead and everything

Experimenting is the best way. I have recently been trying to build a heavy 11+ foc arrow and took the recommended shafts according to OT2 and manufacturing recommendations and what tuned the best was a little of both. You can add weight with the shaft you use until tuning goes out of whack,then you may be able to shorten them a little and bring them back in tune,because shortening them will stiffen the spine. Good luck and be patient.

I used an arrow mass calculator and plugged in an additional 100 grains to the front of my arrow and it gave me 18% FOC. and a total arrow weight of 579 grains. Hopefully my bow will tune with that much extra weight. I took off the bulldog collar and cut an inch off the data and it bumped my FOC to 19% and 565 total arrow weight.

if it were me, id add 100 grain brass inserts

That's the plan, just adding that will give me 18% FOC
