I'm new to the arrow building world and I need to replace two inserts, so I have to get specific inserts to match my other arrows? Or will any insert that fits work? Also what is the general process of putting in new inserts? Do I need special tools? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
If you are talking about the inserts where the tips screw in, I would suggest matching them. Some are weighted differently than others. It is unlikely it would really throw off your shot at short ranges, but it could have an impact if you shoot longer distances. After you replace it and glue it in, I like to let arrows dry standing up. That way if you are using a glue that doesn't set super fast, it doesn't migrate to one side or the other and throw off the balance of your arrow.
I would get the same ones. What arrows are you using? When putting insets in my process goes something like this 1. Gather up supplies. super glue, paper towels, little wire brush, inserts, arrow squaring device 2. I usually clean out the carbon from the inside of the shaft with the brush 3. I'll run them over the ASD to make sure they are even. 4. Take an insert stick it partially in and dab some glue around insert 5. Then take the arrow and push the insert down onto a hard surface making sure it is seated against the arrow 6. Now take the arrow and roll it on the paper towel to remove the excess glue 7. Repeat
I don't know what inserts I have in my old ones, but they are beman hunters 340 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
