[QUOTE="Preatorian, post: 1623904, member: 109583"] The aluminum tip will weigh more then a Polymer or OTM, how much more is dependent on the type of aluminum in use but anyway an arrow flies straight as it is descending because the weight more in the front and essentially "pulling" From the tip, a bullet is the opposite as far as weight distribution, gravity wants to affect it more from the rear, think of it this way, hold an arrow and a Rifle bullet horizontally then drop them, the arrow will want to fall tip down and aerodynamic and the bullet will drop base down. I'm not saying it's the main factor to how this or any bullet will perform or the reason they went aluminum (consistency of the tip shape I believe the said was the reason) but it should be a small added advantage. I briefly mentioned the tip weight in the last post of page 3 but nobody commented back. [/QUOTE]
