Insert vs. Outsert

I was really amazed at the length difference between these two systems. I will say that I have gotten amazing down range accuracy with Easton’s match-grade inserts, but am excited to test these Iron Will’s. I have experienced zero performance issues with the Easton match-grade, so I have no complaints. I am curious what your experiences are and what you run on your shafts.

In my opinion - there's nothing better than a HIT/Footer setup for a 5mm shaft. Or glue in with collar for 4mm. The strength and concentricity can't be beat IMHO.

That said, the IW stuff is super nice and premium. I just don't think that there's anything wrong with a stock easton HIT. It's aluminum encased in carbon and I haven't broke or bent a stock one. I'm sure in theory you could.. I just don't think it's something that is a concern.

I only went with IW 4mm to get a 50gr HIT insert weight. I think Easton’s HIT is lighter but am not 100% sure . Perhaps, they offer a 50gr HIT now???

I don’t like the insert/outsert collar combo. I use a standard 50 grain brass HIT. I cut my arrows as short as possible and a collar would not allow me to do that. Also, I see the whole collar thing as a gimmick when it comes to shooting most NA animals and a lot of critters in other countries as well.
