I will say that the Cool Blue blue was great for nock bushings thoughNo need sneaky. I use Hit's and just use the enclosed epoxy or gorilla glue them. I put some of the Hit's in with the cool melt and that is a major PITA.
They were 300 spine Axis with aluminum HITs, coming out of an 80lb Nitrum 34. That was the rule, not the exception with them. I watched him break a ton of arrows like that. Lots of times they would barely splinter just behind the tip, and he wouldn't dare use them again. Maybe the broadhead adapter ring would have helped, or a VPA footer.
OUTSERTSOn a side note. There’s a company on eBay maybe called Elite archery I think. They offer a steel outsert for skinny arrows. I bought some to check out. They are top notch machining and being steel would really have to take a hard hit to bend. They were too heavy for my current setup so I’m not using them
.165 ADJUSTABLE OUTSERT SYSTEM, .245 SLEEVE, 12 PK

these would work on the BEA X impacts for those of you running this shaft
Its a lot of weight up front, But I could go back to 100 gr tips
Another nice option to try
Thx Justin
You're running a fever lolooops Just saw your spinning post lol

I’ve been following this thread because I’m interested in switching from a .246 shaft to a .166 (Gold Tips) but had concerns about component/arrow durability. These steel outserts seem to be the ticket, particularly since I’d rather keep a 100-grain head because the selection is virtually unlimited.

I agree with Justin above. My system is a bit different though, Easton Injexion 330s with Firenock Outserts, combined with the deep-6 insert at the stock location to add 20 grains of weight and reinforce the shaft. I'm getting excellent durability over the 5 seasons I've shot them. Putting the outserts on with Bohning Hotmelt allows me to rotate the outsert for perfect head/point alignment....and replacement of an outsert if one gets bent....I think one or two over the 5 years in my case, as I remember on the Judo point arrow in the rocks. (I do not like D-6 threaded broadheads and refuse to use them with the reduced section compared to 8-32 standard threaded heads). I am only shooting 60--65# bows at 29" draw so I'm not pushing them as hard or fast as some posters.
The system has worked well with three Coues bucks, Blacktail, Whitetail, Canada Moose, Black bear, Alaskan Brown bear, Polar bear, Dall sheep and a Stone sheep to date.
I don't know I want the steel set up, man it is heavy
lightest possible set up is 120 up front then add your broad head, like a 100 gr and then you're at 220
I'm currently at 210 so its not too far off.
