Brass Insert size

jbowersox · 04-08-2008, 07:02 AM

I'm setting up a set of arrows to be around 500 gr. Yesterday I bought a half dozen 340 Easton Excels. The Muzzy brass inserts are sold in 5/16" and 9/32". Which one fits the Excels? The 9/32" are supposed to fit Axis and HIT insert arrows, but I'm not for sure if they fit the Excels also. Thanks guys.

I'm pretty sure you want the 5/16" for the Excels.

I hope it's the 5/16" because that's what I ordered. If not, I'll just have to buy some new arrows so I don't let them go to waste.

I was wrong. I got the 5/16" and they are too big for the Easton Excel 340's. They fit my Beman ICS Hunter 400's, but I'll be underspined if I used them. I guess I could cut some of the Beman's down, but I'm not for sure how much. So for future reference to anyone who buys these, Easton Excels take the 9/32" Axis/HIT's brass inserts.

The 9/32, at .281".are about right for the 340 Axis and a little big for the 400 Axis - which measure about .263". They will also be aboutperfect for the 400 Excel and a little small for the 340 Excel. The 5/16(.3125") is a little fat even for a340 Excel.

Isn't the Beman 400's with your d/l and d/w going to be a little under spined? I thought the 400's were for under 65 d/w,thought maybe 340 was more to that spec?

All Easton FMJ's, Axis, A/C Super Slims, and Beman MFX shafts take the same HIT Brass insert. The 5/16" Brass inserts are for ICS carbons that are Super nock compatible.

Yeah you guys are all correct. RLoving1 I was underspined with the 400's at 28". I'm going to shorten them up a tad to get them spined better with 100 gr tips. I've got some 340 beman's and easton excel's that I just got cut. I'm adding the 100gr inserts to the beman 340's. Meanv2 you are right on with the shaft and insert fittings. I originally bought the easton excel's with the intention of putting the 100gr inserts in them but the didn't fit. So I went and got a half dozen beman's to fit the inserts. I should be able to get them ready to shoot today.
