pick-up a electric grain scale to weight my broadheads and practice points. what a shock, thunderheads were the worst off by more than 4 grains, g5s and muzzy were the best at +- .5 the field points were terrible off as much as 5+ grains.

Scary isn't it. I've done that to, I have one of those little digital battery powered scales I bought off E-Bay and it works great.

Man, I could tell you guys some stories about A LOT of coveted broadheads that would scare you . I have weighed Rocky Mt. Titaniums that weighed anywhere from 99-106 grains, Muzzy's that have weighed anywhere from 96 grains to 104 grains and there are more where that came from.
Every Slick Trick I have thrown on the scale has weighed 100 or 101 grains when fully set up. It may seem picky, but I like to make sure all of my arrows, both hunting & practice, are all within 1 or 2 grains of each other so that my bow performs exactly in the woods as it does at the range. Again, it may seem picky, but I don't want to find out in a treestand that a 96 grain broadhead has thrown my spine off and sends my arrow fishtailing towards an animal which can only lead to bad things.

I've found exactly the same thing. I've weighed NAP Thunderheads, Muzzy's and some other heads and found that they often vary in weight tremendously. I switched to Slick Tricks a little over 2 years ago and the most variation I've found in them is 1 gr.
