Which seems to go back to my first post. If they are 3" long as Tarkwin says, they will make the shaft react stiffer. Then to counteract, the point weight will need to be increased to weaken the shaft reaction. To someone on a light and short draw, this would mean the arrow diving steeply at long range to to the FOC being moved forwards ?

Well to an oldy, that's how I think. And the screw in piles used to come undone a lot 30 years ago too.

On this case, I keep thinking of one of my lecturers at college on my HND, his favourite saying. KISS, Keep It Simple Stupid.
