Beman HIT insert question
I have a dozen of the Beman MFX classic carbon arrows with the "HIT" inserts. After I installed the inserts,a few of the arrows wabble on my spin tester. I've already ruled out the broadheads I'm using. Any ideas to fix the wabble?

The arrow is definately not bent as they are carbon. I was affraid the glue dried unevenly and I would have to re-heat and rotate. That might be a pain in the ass as the supplied glue was opoxy.....RRRRRRRR....they weren't cheap!

Carbons can be bent by the way. That myth that they are far superior to aluminums in straightness and tolerances is just that a myth. My guess would be a manufacturer malfunction on the inserts. Try sqauring up the end of the shaft witha G5 ASD. That may help.

RE: Beman HIT insert question
ASD will not help. An arrow with an HIT insert does not need to seat the broadhead against the shaft. The seating is done at the insert, well below the end of the arrow. When I use HIT inserts I use the ASD until there is no contact between the end of the shaft and the broadhead. Now that you mentioned it RH, if the end of the shaft is really off square and the insert is too deep it could set the broadhead off its axis.

Called Beman today and the guy on the line was terrific. No way to adjust the insert after it has been installed. He said heat will ruin that particular shaft. They're mailing me a pre-paid label to return the three bad arrows as they have a lifetime gurantee. Beman gets an A+ for that.
