What Are Inserts, Outserts & Weights?
These small, but necessary pieces of equipment, will help keep your heads on your arrows while modifying the overall (FOC) front of center balance of arrows:
- Inserts - Locate inside the shaft of the arrow while securing a broadhead or field points
- Outserts - Sleeve over the outside of the arrow shaft that adds additional strength and protects the end of the arrow shaft
- Arrow weights - can be threaded or glued in, just fine-tune the FOC and kinetic energy
Each of the elements plays a role in stabilizing, absorbing impact energy, and enhancing the durability of the arrow.
Why Use Arrow Inserts, Outserts & Weights?
If used as intended can help:
- Build more durability on the front end of the arrow, especially carbon shafts
- Enhance penetration in game animals by adding momentum
- Modify the point weight for tuning, and it feels right to you
- Build accuracy with your arrow's front-heavy balance
Regardless of whether you are hunting whitetails or dialing in your long-range groupings, adding inserts, outserts, and weights customizes your setup, giving you more options to control your shot.
