Product Description
Tungsten points seems to have three advantages compared to normal points for X10's:
1. They are shorter (by about a centimeter): and hence result in the arrow having a lower side area.
2. They are heavier (by 10 grains): and hence result in a heavier arrow.
3. They seem less likely to bend (certainly compared to the standard points). The stainless steel points will bend simply because they are long compared to the tungsten points, but will bend less than the standard points. This also means that where with standard points you may need to replace them from time-to-time, tungsten points may last for several sets of arrows.
Point 3 is important from the point-of-view of longevity of your arrows. If a point bends it is quite likely that the carbon near the front will be damaged, and you may lose an arrow.
Points 1 and 2 utlimately mean that with tungsten points the arrow will drift less. By the calculation the drift is reduced by about 3% through the combination of less surface area and higher weight. Not a lot, but every bit counts.
