New to bows, but I want some tips for my arrows for target shooting only.... its 75 grain on 2 of the arrows I have the rest have hunting tips.... Ok How do I know the size???? I do know 75 grains... The arrows are Expedtion Hunter carbon 5575???
thanks |

Are you talking about the diameter when asking about size?
If so, those arrows are .295 diameter. You will want 19/64" diameter field tips. If you have trouble getting those, get 9/32". They will be slightly smaller, so you won't have issues pulling them out of targets like you would if you bought 5/16" tips. |

Yes, They are 75 grains, but I see different diameter.. what about the alumin inserts that the tips go into?? Im missing one... thanks Quoted:

They'll use a tool to remove the old glue, and the can probably get an insert pretty close to what you have. Might be a couple grains different in weight, but not enough to matter. |

Now the 2 tips I have are 75 grain, does it matter to go to 100??? I have seen some 75 grain in 21/64, still looking on the internet Your field tips should match your broadheads. Arrow tip weight will affect the spine, but I doubt you'll see a difference there. It's usually pretty safe to go with a heavier point, but you have to watch out when going lighter. You do not want to shoot an underweight arrow. I don't know what your broadheads weigh, so it's hard to say what weight you should go with. I shoot 100 grain broadheads and field tips. |

100 grain 19/64"
Look around on that site. There are quite a few points in that diameter with a few weights available. |

broadheads say 100 on them, and I have 2 tips for target.. Im not going to hunt so I dont need the broadheads... I have like 10 arrows and only 2 have the target tips. Get a pack of 100 grain target points in 19/64" and you'll be good to go. Keep the broadheads, just in case you change your mind.
