I did some preliminary playing with some items today and this is what i came up with. Let me hear it from everyone on their thoughts. Hopefully I will get to shoot these next week. Only problem with the footings is, I have to install the 2" 2013 footing before I epoxy the halfout in as it will not fit over the fletchings or over the halfout due to the halfout being tapered out from the end of the shaft out. The short, black footing will fit over the halfout so no problem there.
I measured the entire length of the shaft and BH so the overall length I started with was 31 3/4" before I found the balance point of the arrow.
Here you go:
Gold tip Kinetic Kaos 200
Cut length 28” nock throat to end of shaft.
3 5” right wing feathers
Gold Tip Kaos nock
Aeronock Stainless halfout @51 grains
BH/point adapter by Tuffhead; 75 grains (short) and 125 grain (long)
Big Foot carbon arrow footing kit #3, using the long aluminum piece 1” in length, 11.5 grains
2013 aluminum footing 2” long, 17.8 grains
Tuffhead Right Single bevel 225 grain broadhead.
These components have not been glued or epoxied together, just dry fitted, weighed on a grain scale and tested for FOC with the BH on. Arrows are fletched and cut with the nock installed. Here are the preliminary results:
Arrow w/75 grain BH adapter and no footings: 697 grains, 16.92% FOC
Arrow w/75 grain BH adapter and double footings: 747 grains, 19.29% FOC
Arrow w/125 grain BH adapter and no footings: 727 grains, 18.5% FOC
Arrow w/125 grain BH adapter and double footings: 777 grains, 20.07 FOC
In all honesty, I do not like the looks of no footings or the single 2013 (gold) footing. I like the looks of the double footings (gold & black). The black footing fits all the way up to the rear of the broadhead and is snug on the 2013 shaft along with the 2013 being snug on the Kaos shaft.
The arrow weight of the 125 adapter and double footings puts me a little above the mark I was looking for while the 75 grain adapter puts me right in the middle of my target finished arrow weight.
Thoughts?
First pic is the whole arrow, 2nd is no footing, 3rd is the single and last is the double footing.
