Arrow Weight Calculator

Step-by-Step Guide to Using the Arrow Weight Calculator

Step 1: Input Arrow Specifications

Begin by entering the essential specifications of your arrow. This information will be used to calculate the total weight of your arrow.

• Arrow Length (inches): Enter the length of the arrow in inches. It must be between 20 and 32 inches, and can be specified up to three decimal places with a step of 0.125.
• Shaft Weight (grains per inch): Specify the weight of the shaft in grains per inch. This should be between 5 and 15 grains and can be entered using increments of 0.1.

Step 2: Select Point Weight

Choose the weight of the arrow point from the available options.

• This is a dropdown selection. Available options include 75, 85, 100, 125, and 150 grains. Ensure to select the appropriate weight that suits your arrow setup.

Step 3: Enter Additional Component Weights

Provide the weights for additional components of the arrow. These components further influence the overall weight of the arrow.

• Insert Weight (grains): Enter the weight of the insert. It should be between 0 and 50 grains, with an increment of 1 grain.
• Nock Weight (grains): Enter the weight of the nock, ranging from 0 to 30 grains. It can have a decimal value with a step of 0.1.
• Fletching Weight (grains per vane): Provide the weight of one fletching vane, which should be between 0 and 15 grains, allowing for decimal precision with a step of 0.1.
• Number of Fletchings: Choose between 3 or 4 fletchings for your arrow setup using the dropdown menu.

Step 4: View the Calculated Results

Once all the inputs have been filled in, view the calculated outcomes of your data.

• Total Shaft Weight: This is calculated using the formula: arrowLength * shaftWeight. It is displayed with one decimal place and in grains.
• Total Fletching Weight: The weight of all fletchings together, computed as: fletchingWeight * fletchingCount. The result is shown with one decimal place, expressed in grains.
• Total Arrow Weight: This is the combined weight of all arrow components, calculated as: (arrowLength * shaftWeight) + pointWeight + insertWeight + nockWeight + (fletchingWeight * fletchingCount). Displayed with one decimal place in grains.
• Finished Grains Per Inch: Showing the grains per inch of the completed arrow, calculated using: totalArrowWeight / arrowLength. This is presented with two decimal places, labeled in GPI.

By following these steps, you can accurately determine the overall weight of your arrow setup using the Arrow Weight Calculator.
