G5 A.S.D
 
Has anyone checked the squareness of their broadhead inserts? I just got a G5 arrow squaring device and I am amazed to see that all of my inserts were not square at all. After squaring I know my broadheads will be better aligned. But then again how much more accurate can these xbows get? I guess shooting longer distances at targets will prove its effectiveness. Can't wait to check it out.

I don't check for sq. as i don't have an gage. I do put small o rings between the broadhead and shaft insert. When i tighten them up they spin nicely inline. :)

Hello Dnk,

I’ve never really seen this tool you’re talking about. How exactly do you square up the insert? I’m guessing you heat up the tip or something along those lines.

Hey GP howdie doodie! You'd be surprised at the results. Its made by G5 outdoors and cuts aluninum shafts and abrades carbons.
If you are looking for that last bit of accuracy this would help. Great when building your own shafts from scratch. Its probably something that really isn't necessary but I am kinda interested in shooting targets at much longer distances this summer just for fun.

Hey Jason, the price was $54.00 from Tent City Outfitters in Toronto. Its made by G5 OutDoors. Check out the G5 site. It is available at Cabelas. In the Cabels site use the search arrow squaring to find it. It is something to use if are building your own arrows, replacing inserts, squaring inserts after installation for broadheads or nocks. I know it will make a very small difference but it makes me happy and after all isn't that what its all about? LOL

Of course it's important. I use a Neco to check bullet run-out when reloading rifle cartridges.



Thanks DnK, for the info on the G5, I will definitely get one.
