You can buy brass inserts for certain aluminum sizes from 3Rivers.  The ones I have are 100 grains.

Easton nibb points (glue in) 78 grains to 110 depending on size of shaft. Have a bunch in garage, hit and miss depending on what ya need.
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways-BOW in one hand-ARROWS in the other-Body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming-WOO HOO! WHAT A RIDE!

You can always use the standard insert and use heavy adapters in your broadheads.We have 75-100 and 125 grain adapters.

A lot of the inserts come threaded all the way through making the use of the screw in brass weights an option. This would help for broadheads like the adapters will. Nibs are pricey but the point is long enough to add weight inside. Target shooters used to do that. I saw were one guy added two 55grain bullets and some hot melt to up his point weight.
 This adding point weight is really a carbon thing. If we wanted more point weight with our aluminum arrows we just got heavier points.
