Steel inserts and avatars
« on: February 19, 2009, 06:50:00 PM »
Question 1-

I could've SWORN I've seen steel inserts for aluminum arrows.I looked and couldn't find them.Apparently I made them up in my mind?  :confused:  I'm talking about steel threaded inserts in place of the standard aluminum ones,NOT tapered steel adapters for broadheads.

Question 2-

How the HECK do I use a pic as an avatar like all the cool kids?There's no place to upload one!  :D

Ya gotta email a picture, with your member number, to the moderator(s). Put "avatar" in the subject line. They accept and post or reject and delete your photo.

Can't help you with the arras. I'm using brass all-thread and .22 bullets behind the alum. inserts. Make my own! (Ilearn the hard way, I guess...   :knothead: )

I haven't seen steel inserts for aluminum arrows,they would have to make alot of different sizes for aluminum.With carbon they make a 5/16 brass insert that will Blackhawk Vapor,GT,Beman ICS,Carbon Express,thats one insert to fit all these any any carbon with the inside dia. of .246.Then you have the Axis/MFX that will fit all that take the HIT insert.I just don't see a big market for them,and that is usally what it takes for a company to make something like that.And I can imagine if they did it would probably cost at least $20 or more for inserts.
