Hi All,
I have a couple of set of ACCs (3-04 and 3L-18) and I am struggling to get a sight mark for 100 yrds (pulling apx 40lb OTF with 28inch shafts).
I can't afford ACEs, so I am considering trying to lighten the arrows by swapping the points.
My questions are:
1) How do I identify what weight the points I already have are (both sets of arrows were bought on ebay).
I understand that the heavier points are marked with 2 or 3 rings at the base, and I have found this image via google. But it is not much help as the resolutions is low and the weights are not given.
Can anyone help? If I knew the length of each weight that would be ideal.
2) Is a reduction in point weight going to make much difference at 100 yards. Currently I am having to aim about 140 cm above the gold to hit the gold (or more likely the red, blue, black,..). I did increase my draw weight by tightening the limb bolts, which helped with the sight mark, but I could feel my form going, so I deceased it again. I can usually only find time to shoot once a week so pushing up the draw weights is a slow process.
