Am I being too demanding?

So the story I should this: I bought a 3-pack of Cabelas copperhead broadheads and decided to weigh them. The package says 100 grain so I assumed it would be just that. They were all different weights below 100. Decided to get another pack and same story. I called cabelas to ask if it's a bad batch and still waiting on an answer. My cheap eBay field points are closer to 100 grains than these.

Anyone else have any issues with their broadheads with the tolerances?

How many grains under were they?

Just weighed my Grim Reaper Razor Tips and they are about .2 -.6 grains out from each other. Doesn't seem to make a big difference when shooting them.

That's not bad. But mine are like 92,96, 98,102 and yea... the list goes on.

Not that you would see a huge variance in point of impact inside of 40 yards but I would not be happy with any broadhead that did not have 1 grain tolerance up and down (2 grain total). So anything inside of 99 and 101, I would accept.

Have you ruled out scale error?

Yep. I've used a pharmaceutical scale as well so I hope it's accurate haha. The one I used is a jewellers scale.

Nope, I think you are being diligent. If it was me, those would go back for a refund. My rule is +/- 5 grains total per complete arrow, so if the broadheads are outside of +/- 1 grain, they don’t meet the standard.

FYI that’s why store branded are cheaper than G5 strikers. All made the same but G5 pays for better QC on the ones with their name. This is pretty common with store branded items - arrows are another common one.
