Weight tube trouble
« on: March 26, 2008, 07:10:00 PM »
Couple problems, 1st I added my weight tubes to my 2117 and they rattle. I tried scotch tape in 3 locations (idea from 3 rivers)which is on both ends and the middle with no luck. I really like how theses fly but I cant stop the rattle.

2nd They are showing nock right a little. Do I have to bareshaft one with a weight tube in? I already bareshafted it without and had them flying like darts. I got some 5 gr washers from Black Widow I can try to beef up the front a little......But not until I fix problem #1......Help fellas  :knothead:

Take your nock out,stuff tissue paper down in too the tube,put your nock back in.When I used them they didnt seem too change my spine(carbon arrows)Nock right? may have stiffened it up some.

cut them perfect to length so they wedge against the nock end and the insert and they should'nt rattle too much.  I love the 3 rivers weight tubes for aluminum shafts

i put the tape in 5 places.  no rattle for me.  and like t-bone said, they so the nock is sitting right on top of them.
have i not commanded you? be strong and of good courage;be not afraid or discouraged:for the Lord your God is with you where ever you go. joshua 1:9
