Question about inserts

Post by redmandant »

Ok, I think I have the concept down but thought I would ask. When you guys are talking about brass inserts, you are removing the alluminum ones up front and putting in heavy brass ones. I believe this is to acheive a higher FOC, but. The only inserts I can find are 100g, that seems to be a whole lot of weight up front or are those inserts trimmable down to say 50g?

Here is the thing, I got a customer that has been having a heck of a time getting his exacts to group at 40yds with the firebolts but they shoot fine with alluminums :? He is thinking about the Boltcutters because of the 150g but thought that inserts would do the same thing, he really likes the exacts.


Please O great wise ones, give me some insight :wink: :wink:

Inserts would be the way to go I switched to brass quite some time ago and more recently switched to 22" GT II's and they are the best flying arrow I have had yet with or without Broadheads.

I think you can get a 90 gr Brass as for cutting them down I think you can but not sure, someone will have more info on this for sure.
