Shaft insert sleeves
Hey guys i was lookind at the sportshop today and saw some sleeves that insert inside grahite arrow shafts to add 3 gpi, has anybody used them??? I was also wondering if they affect the spine or any other flight characterisics. Thanks for any help.

Yes they can. I know traget guys that get down to 5 grain adjustments to just get the arrow spine perfect for their setup & how they want the bow & arrow to shoot.
If you are right on the line of too much or too little spine 5 or 10 grains can make or break you in some situations.

If you're borderline on spine, they could screw you up. But if you're in the middle of your arrows' spine range, there wouldn't be any problem at all. I've used aquarium tubing inside carbons to add weight (which I cannot recommend, by the way) and had no ill effect on accuracy.
