nice weight system for tweaking your overall arrow weight and foc. however, as others have pointed out, the 50 grain weight might not fit into your shaft. they were slightly too big for my gold tip arrows (inner diameter 0.246)

By Robert

from Frobisher Bay, Canada on 2/19/2010

Durable, Easy To Use

Cons:

50 gr diameter

Best Uses:

Hunting, Stump Shooting

Describe Yourself:

Comments about PDP Weight System:

This is a slick system. The only problem I had is that the 50 grain weight will not fit through the Easton Universal bushing. The 30 and 10 will.

Not a big deal but requires you to remove the front insert, screw in the weight and replace the insert. It would be nice not to have to do this.

Suggest a touch of lock tite.

from Florida on 2/8/2010

Pros:

Consistent

Cons:

Breaks Easily

Best Uses:

Target Practice

Describe Yourself:

Recreational Archer

Bottom Line:

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about PDP Weight System:

The fifty grain weights did not fit into my arrow even though I called to make sure. If you hit something solid they will break off in the arrow. But they are good for tuning.

Problem solved.

Comments about PDP Weight System:

My aluminum arrows were shooting too stiff. In order to correct the problem I used this system to add weight to the front of the arrow. This solved the problem and the arrows fly true now.

Great for adding weight to carbons.

Comments about PDP Weight System:

The 10 gr. and 30 gr. are smaller than the I/D of 5/16" carbon arrows, so they will not stiffen the arrow like full diameter weights sometimes do.

WEIGHT FORWARD BALANCE TO REDUCE SPINE

By Valley Rat

from Pharr, Tx on 9/4/2009

Pros:

Consistent, Easy To Use

Best Uses:

3D Targets, Hunting, Stump Shooting, Target Practice

Describe Yourself:

Competitive Archer

Comments about PDP Weight System:

Added to the back of screw in point inserts on GrizzlyStik Banshees to obtain weight forward distribution. Have worked well & when tightened properly, stay in place well. Once you figure out the right balance, use Loc-Tite type glue to keep in place.

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about PDP Weight System:

Until I discovered this weight system I would implant field points of the weight I needed behind my inserts. This worked well but was a pain. This weight system gives you many weight options and are extremely simple to use. I recommend putting a drop of fingernail polish on the threads before putting them together. This assures they will not vibrate loose creating a rattle inside your arrow.

The weight system allows me to acheive extreme FOC on my hunting arrows, also allowed me to fine tune the flight. Before adding these weights the arrows were too stiff for my set up. Now my arrows are entering straight when I bare shaft test.

Comments about PDP Weight System:

Great way to increase FOC and overall weight of the arrow. After determining the correct number of weights for your set up, a little thread lock glue will keep them from coming loose and rattling in your arrow shaft, I'll use them again!
