I assumed brass, not knowing which would be heavier. Wonder how much a lead grip would weight? This particular grip for a sky metel riser. But probably, if it works, every bow from now on. Should be a good business for somebody1g, what are you looking for? Can post a picture? Why brass. I can cast one from a mold of your current one adding lead BB.

No. Shooting with a full quiver and carrying extra in your back pocket is not illegal, unless you keep kicking their .......Is tungsten much heavier? Sounds like a good idea. I wonder... club rules state no added weight. But adding heavier materials seems innocent enough. As long as it is not additional add on....... hmmmm wonder.... I shot a few tournaments with my hunting rig, quiver on, full of arrows. Wonder if that was illegal?
Totally fine so long as you use the same arrows as you have in the quiver, you can't have 6 with 300gr points and be shooting ones with 100gr points. The only problem is the offset weight, but if you shoot from a cant you can actually use the quiver to make the bow balance at the angle you prefer.Is tungsten much heavier? Sounds like a good idea.

What rules are you referring to Grant? All the rules I've read pertain to arrows being shot. "Quivers" must be designed to hold arrows and not designed to add weight. I have read comments of people mentioning quivers pointing straight forward should be illegal, and I would agree. Who mounts a quiver like that other then a guy using it like a stab? I have used a quiver as a means to add weight to overall bow, don't see where that violates any rule.Totally fine so long as you use the same arrows as you have in the quiver, you can't have 6 with 300gr points and be shooting ones with 100gr points.

I'd mount it upside down with the points lower to get the weight in the right place. Also look into getting some mounting hardware made out of brass or stainless.

I think if a person were to have a quiver of full length 2315 arrows with 300gr points and weighted inserts but be actually shooting lightweight 600s they would be in violation of the rule which states that all arrows must be identical.What rules are you referring to Grant?

Would be interesting to get official comment on it. As long as your not shooting those arrows, I don't see how you would be in violation? The intent of the rule as I read it is to keep someone from having arrows of various lengths/weights that are used for specific distances(maybe point on for different distances).I think if a person were to have a quiver of full length 2315 arrows with 300gr points and weighted inserts but be actually shooting lightweight 600s they would be in violation of the rule which states that all arrows must be identical.
Plus I believe the IBO also has a rule stating that the quiver cannot be mounted away from the bow. Inverted is fine from what I've seen.

Do the rules state no modifications?This is the same situation that I find myself in. I want a heavier bow and one that balances better. Due to rules I am looking at buying a heavier riser versus being allowed to add weights to the riser I arty have. That is why I like the whole point to ring rule like feet and others versus just saying no weights, no stabilizers, no modifications. I would much rather spend $40 on weights, than $400 on a new riser, and it puts the guy who can't afford the new riser at a disadvantage. I could simply switch classes and shoot RU, but then I'd be the only one in my class and that's no fun.
