Ahh OK- so you are saying that just by changing from ss piles at full length to tungsten piles with one segment broken off would give me a weaker arrow....
rather than a stiffer arrow as I originally thought - due to the total arrow length being shorter -I thought it would stiffen.

Bugger - desperate for more arrows but best get new limbs first then.

Which begs the further question of optimum shaft length ......

When cutting X10 shafts How much shaft is optimum between pressure button and beginning of pile for both tungsten and ss tips/piles? at full draw
From videos it seems top shooters are using 'long' arrows ie clicker blade well forward on the plate
