It is two footings.The smaller is a 2013.The larger,I took a 2219 or 2216 and bored the inside out to 5/16",to fit over the 2013.The Tuffhead has a wide ferrule,so the second footing was to fill that gap.I also always put a 1/4" one on the nock end,in this case,2013.

Thanks for all the help. Anybody else have an arrow/tip/insert combination that works well for them?

JimB how tuff are those arrows? Have you had any problems with them breaking easy.

Not as tough as I would like.I have had no problems on game and they have survived some hard,frontal hits on hard objects but several have broken on side slap shots.I've broken several like that and some not such hard hits.I try to never stump with them for that reason.I have yet to break a Gold Tip,after 6 years,not even side impacts.

I did shoot two Victory arrows that made straight,frontal hits on rocks and one judo was destroyed and one 200 gr Grizzly was bent so bad that it couldn't be fixed and those arrows were unharmed.All my carbons are footed.
