Just use your own common sense. Let's say you draw your bow, walk up to a wall and place the point on the wall. The entire arrow will see the stress of that. All of that stress is obtained from the front of the arrow, correct? As soon as you walk away the stress is released. Now do the same again with added weight to the nock end of the arrow. The arrow is still stressed just the same, the rear weight didn't do anything at this point, the arrow didn't get stiffer or stronger from this. Now when you walk away, the stressed is released, but this time the foc is changed and arrow efficiency has changed. Hope this helped
