Easton insert question

[chackworth3]

Does anyone know if a 2216 insert will fit a 2213 shaft?  I know there isn't that much of a difference but I just want to make sure before I spend any $ ordering some...

If my memory serves me well the first two numbers are the shaft circumference in 64ths and the last two the wall thickness in thousands. That being true you would be too loose.

That's what I was wondering was if that .003 would be too snug. Thanks

I'm thinking the 2216 insert would fit with a slight wobble?

If you are going to order them anyway why not get the right size...a slight wobble is not going to work very well, especially with broadheads

And just to clarify a 2216 insert will be about .003 inch less diameter meaning it will be a loose fit in a 2213...a thousandth of an inch is quite a bit when you are talking metal tubing diameter

Thanks y'all. I was thinking about the numbers backwards

There are lot of young archers today who believe that arrows are made of carbon...good for you being willing to try aluminum...I have been shooting aluminum arrows for over 20 years, even sold a bunch back in the 90's, and I still would not claim  to know everything about them

Easton may only make one size to cover both. Like 2114-2117. Try finding an older archery store that may have NOS inserts they can try for you. If not try F@S Archery. They have been around forever. Just watch out for shipping charges.

I'd try it first, little hot melt might take care of that gap for you.  Depending on if they were for a high dollar precision need or cheap stumpers.

The 2216 insert will be .006" too small for the 2213 shaft. It is .003 difference in wall thickness x 2.

Get the correct size insert if you want your points to be straight.

ID of 2213 is .3178
ID of 2216 is .3118

If I remember correctly, Easton didn't make an insert for every size shaft. Seems the 2114 and 2117 used the same insert as per Easton's chart

When aluminum was king, they did make inserts for every size shaft.  And the inserts were included with the shafts.  

It would be best to try and find the correct inserts.
