Arrow building help please

Took some measurements of my arrows yesterday before starting to sight in for the season. Found out my FOC is 9.5%. My measurement included the broadhead. Since I wanted to move that up to about 15% as recommended on this forum, I went to Cabela's in Wheeling last night. Headed to the archery department, flaged down some help and asked them for a heavier (brass) insert for my Easton 2216s. I was informed they do not cary anything for aluminum anymore.

Where can I get brass inserts for my 2216s? Is there any place in can get the nocks with the screw in holes to assist in fletching? My are solid acrossed the back. Where do you get those little screw in nocks?

I've been using aluminum inserts for nocks but i cut them down just so they weigh 15gr which gives me a better FOC, otherwise they weigh right around 30gr.
I'm building 2213s and using 2013 shaft pieces cut at 5" which fit perfect inside the 2213 shaft and glue them just behind the insert which gives me an additional 45gr. Weight forward technology eh?

Just get some 8-32 threaded rod and cut it to a length that gives the weight you want to add. Remove the insert, screw the threaded rod in the back end (a couple threads usually doesn't interfere with screwing in the point and I add a drop of glue to keep the rod in place).
Cheap and adjustable!
