Default Need wieght up front

Ok, I found a combo that shoots well out of my 50# dreamcatcher. Its 2016 30" arrows and 200gr tip. Ok, so now how do I outfit an arrow with broadheads. I have 125gr and 150gr BH's. But how do I add 75gr or 50grto 11/32" arrow and broadhead?

I see brass inserts for small carbons but nothing for 11/32. Any ideas?

I guess I could buy 190gr simmons and 200gr muzzy phatoms. or Ace or glue on adaptors?

I use the steel inserts from Archery Past. Have the 125grain steel insert that screws into the aluminum insert and glue on a 145 grain Grizzly broadhead. Which puts me a little over 650 grain aluminum 2018 arrow.

I've read about some people that glued or epoxied a small caliber bullet to the bottom of the insert to get added weight with good results.Sorry,I can't remember what caliber(maybe a .22 caliber)

I will have to check that out Robin. Are these glue in inserts. I thought you originally were talking about the adaptors to add the glue on broadheads like woodsman.

big, I believe that PDP makes an insert for aluminums that accepts screw in weights. I believe I bought them years ago from Lancaster Archery. May want to take a look. I think that 3-rivers may also carry them.

I see PDP makes stackable wieghts. Wish they had one for 100gr.

They screw in to the aluminum insert and then your broad head can glue onto the steel insert.
The website says it is under reconstruction and when i try to call the ph# i posted it is always busy, i have bought stuff from Archey Past before, but i may have to go to 3 Rivers, as i need some more of the steel inserts, i am pretty sure that 3 rivers carries them also. Hunt'in Season right around the corner...
