Anybody know if they are made? If so, who carries them?

What kind of arrows are you using? I have carbons that I use 160gr heads on. I bought the arrow weighting system where you screw into the back of the insert any weight you want! I works great. With the 160gr heads I can add 50gr. If I have some 125 heads I can add a 2 50gr. weights or a 20gr and 50gr. until I get the arrow flight I desire. You can screw in any number of weights.

Snag,
Carbons (Carbon Express - Heratage). Is that the one 3-R carries? If not, where from?

You'll have to play with weights or weight tubes to try that out. They have 200 and 250 grain points at both 3r and KK.

I use 220g points, I make them myself, 145 field point (or Eclipse broadhead)epoxy in a 75g steel adapter. This is a vey strong setup (I don't like the aluminum broadhead adapters). I also do the same with my Judo points,,FRank

It doesn't take much to turn down a 250 to 225, I do it all the time. I've done many with a file and a drill press. Just chuck an old insert in and work a good sharp file against the rotating surface. Just weigh them frequently till you get a feel for how much to remove. Then you can set your calipers and go to work. Of course it's a lot faster with a lathe.
