Adding Weight
« on: September 09, 2012, 07:59:00 PM »
What do you guys use to add weight to a arrow?  I am looking to use the GT Kinetics or Easton Injexion but will need at add a little weight to the shaft.  I don't think they make weight tubes to fit the shafts yet and looking for other ideas?

I still like the idea of adding an 8x32 screw to the back of the insert. Is that a possibility? If the threaded hole doesn't go all the way through, an 8x32 tap is pretty cheap at any hardware store.

Weedeater line laid lengthwise on a piece of electrical tape and fold the tape over. Tape keeps it frpm rattling in the shaft.
