Wingate,

Thanks - perhaps I should explain I shoot mainly clout and roving mark.

I currently see 220 - 230 yards flat out with my light tipped (but somewhat underspined - originally for a previous bow) small flighted clout arrows.

Am planning to obtain some barrelled arrows to obtain the last few yards of available distance , but can't quite decide on the correct selection of tips.

I think I am right that the heavier the tip, the better the direction, stability and performance with both head and cross wind but the lesser the distance (so obviously at some point there is a compromise anyway) ....... but I want to understand whether increased mass assists distance ?

I remain confused !

Brgds
