inserts?

[yekrut]

Can you only get 50gr and 100gr brass inserts or can you get like a 25gr or something like that? Just wondering? Thank you

I haven't seen any ,but you could get fully threaded inserts and adapter weights in 20 grain increments.  They screw into the back side of the inserts.  I think gold tip has them.

my beman carbon alum inserts weigh in at 22 grains.  or as crandog mentioned, there are also pdp screw-in weights for the rear of most any insert.

if yer looking to mess with mass arrow weight and foc, consider what i do - weigh yer current alum insert, or an aftermarket brass insert, as a base front end starting weight, then add in the right combination of adapter and point weight to add up to the target front end package.

alum adapters run around 30-40 grains, steel adapters come in 75, 100 and 125 grains.  most any glue-in point types (broadhead, field, judo) start at 100 and can go upwards of 200 grains.  that's a very versatile assortment of point types and weights.  use slow set epoxy to glue in inserts to shafts, and points to adapters.

using one type of shafting, beman bowhunter, i use a 100gr brass insert + 125gr steel insert + 125 point for a 585gr arrow (29% foc) for my 55# longbow.  i use the same shaft, but with a 22gr alum insert + 100gr steel insert + 125 point for a 480gr (25% foc) arrow for my 46# longbow.

gotta love the versatility of tube shafts + inserts and adapters!  :cool:
