I have been playing around with the 125gr. woody weights and am impressed. I normally shoot 55-60# spined arrows but had to go up 10# because of the additional weight up front. I use 145gr. Eclipse broadheads and end up with 735gr. larch arrows that have a foc of 20%. I like the way they smack the target with authority.

Yes I use them, but have yet to put one through a deer.

Big thing is clean them well before installing as I've seen several people buy them open the pack and put them on with hot melt and lose them in the first 3-d target they shoot.

What's the procedure for installing these? Are they hard to get everything to spin true?

Mine spun true but the second batch I put on I either didn't clean the old glue off the shaft well or I didn't clean the woody weight. Had them pulling off in my Rhinehart 18-1 target. Arrows flew great.

Guru, they just mount like field tips, blunts or broadheads.

I hate tips pulling off so I wanted the oil off them. I cleaned mine with some sand paper to roughen the inside surface, then cleaned them with brake cleaner and epoxied them to the shafts. Then you can install your field point, blunt or broadhead however you want.

I've never had any problems with them not spinning true.

Like stated above they need to be cleaned well.  Since you are aligning two pieces instead of one, alingment requires a bit more diligence but they will spin great for you.
