I tried them. Didn't like them. They were not exact as far as centering the field tip or broadhead on them. It also made it so the field tip or broadhead stuck out away from the shaft too far. With weights up to 190gr in tips no need for them....for me anyway.

They worked on some over spined shafts I had. If you don't mind the look try them. There are other ways to add weight as well. Split shot in the head is one way.

I like 'em. I have been using them for 2 years now. I use them along with my 125gr. broadheads and they fly straight and pack a punch.

I'm interested in folks' opinions on these as well.  Just now going back to wooden arrows and going to try to get a high or extreme FOC.  Other methods of achieving this with woodies?

I found them to mount consistently straight.  They are a quick and easy way to add weight and if you want them off are easy to remove.

They worked great for me.  They also serve as a "footing" of sorts, and as an added bonus, all those shafts you have laying around that broke "just behind the tip", are usable again, by adding a woody-weight.

They worked OK for me....BUT..... I was trying for more FOC from wood but found I get better flight from woodies with heavy shafts and normal point weight than stiff spines and a heavy point....YMMV.
Bowhunting is "KILL and EAT" not "Catch and Release".....Semper Fi!
