Where do you guys get the brass inserts? I have some ICS 400 shafts that I need to add weight to the head.

3rivers archery has them.

you want the 5/16" for the ICS 400's

Thank you sir!

I really want to use this type of product but I have questions. I have never used them before.

I take it these take the place of the inserts that come with a set of arrows and you glue them in, is this correct?

I will be using Beman 400 series arrows unless some thing unforeseen changes my mind and Magnus 125 gr screw in broad heads.
I was hoping to be able to change the weights on the inserts in increments of 25 gr or so till I got to an arrow weight I really liked is there any way to do this?

It appears to me that if I use the brass inserts (discussed above) I have to pick one and glue it in, if I don't like it I'm stuck with it because it is glued in. Is this correct?

Way would you want to make your broad head heaver. When with a 100 gr. point you have a arrow that will shoot through any thing out there and fly great even in the wind. I have blowed through a hunderd deer and some bull Elk with 100 gr. broad heads and around 400 gr. carbon arrow.

Yes.

With the ones I posted the link too yes, but there are some made by Gold Tip that you can adjust the weight of, I think they where mentioned earlier in this thread.

The Gold Tip brass weights screw in with a tool Gold Tip makes (most shops should have this tool). You can easily remove any amount of the weight if you want.

Thanks for the reply.
Can I use the Gold Tip weights with Beman ICS Hunter arrows?

Yes you can use the Gold Tip inserts with Beman ICS arrows they have the same inside diameter.

more playing today ......

I cut my ICS 400's down to 27 3/4 inches (I epoxyed the inserts in) and put in the 100 gr brass inserts, using weight tubes, and shooting practice 125 grain 3 blade Thunderheads and 110 grain 2 blade 5/16" ferrule Zwickey Eskimoes with 30 grain aluminum inserts .... I imagine I was 680 grains total weight with the Thunderheads, close to 700 grains with the Zwickey's

those brass inserts stick out maybe 1/8 to a 1/4" outside the shaft - so cutting that much off my shafts I regained when I glues those new brass inserts in - no big deal there.

0-15 yards not a noticable difference in my shooting accuracy. A bit quieter, but those arrows hit with authority, a solid THUMP on impacts. 15 yards and beyond I could tell the arrows dropped more than when I didn't have the extra 100 grains up front.

Great arrow flight, something about the bigger Steel Force glue on's I had didn't jive with my arrows .... they were a bit flighty and not as pretty perfect arrow flight as what these are.

Tonight I am sharpening Zwickey's - see if I can get the ultra razor sharp.
