Title: Really liking these inserts
Post by: Wheels2 on October 30, 2014, 02:19:00 PM

I shot carbons for most of the year but went to a 2016 a few weeks ago.  With the broadheads and broadhead adapters tip weight was 145 grains.  It shoots well but every once in a while I got a bit of wag in the tail end.  A 125 tip does not suffer from such but I do not want to switch broadheads.
I decided to try the broadhead adapters that 3Rivers sells for aluminum and carbon arrows to replace the threaded insert.
I got them today and with my Zwickey heads they weigh in within just a few grains lighter than the  arrows with the 125 tips.  Still shooting a 475 grain arrow but without the occassional tail wag.
I wish I would have tried these sooner.

Are you talking about the glue on broadhead adapter, which makes it no longer a screw in broadhead?

That us it.  Only bad part is cleaning the paint from inside the head.  They nicely git the 5/16 EskiLites
Hope to test durability next week.
