How do ya'll think we should test these arrows for structural integrity? Or other tests you'd like to see? .... Also two weeks out from our WA turkey opener. Dan has been constantly tuning his bow to get ready for it... lol - Tim

It doesn’t creat a vacuum but rather a pressure chamber. The air that’s trapped inside gets pressurized at you push in the insert and the compressed air will try to escape pushing out some of the glue or if it’s a looser fitting insert the insert can be pushed out some.

Great video on components. I cheated and bought the Sirius Gemini .204 diameter .350 spine with 75-grain half jacket inserts. I'm running 125-grain Magnus buzz cuts with three 3-inch vanes on 3% right helical. Blew right through my first buck back in October of this year and it went through the vitals so fast it left not a single trace of hair or blood. That was my only complaint after finding it piled up 30 yards away. Taking your time with your own arrows really makes a difference.

Gotta clamp the bottom of the EZ fletch too! Don’t forget about that.

I have recently built a dozen Rip TKO v1’s w a 250 spine with the Iron Will system and I really like it. They hit hard and spin/fly great. Using the Iron Will field points for sight in, my broadheads impact in the same spot. I can’t recommend the IW system enough. Levi Morgan says that anything over 2-3 deg helical will parachute out past 50yds. But, I still run a 5 deg L helical as I do not intend on shooting animals past 60yds. I may change and fletch a few differently this spring to mess around with. Great vid, keep’em coming.

I literally just put in 2 of Ethics Archery spinning inserts in my arrows 10 mins ago. Didn’t even know you guys were doing a build series with them.
Testing my old set up vs +100g vs +150g

Good stuff!! I use exact same Iron Will setup on Easton Injexion 330s with 75 gr insert, the collar and 125 gr Iron Will solid. 532 gr total weight. Shot a cow and she tipped over after 30 yds. Works for me!!!

You should definitely tinker with some 3 inch shield cut vanes

Super glue is just that- the same chemicals. No need to waste money on archery brand name glue. Also epoxy can be softened with heat. Use a hair dryer to heat up the shaft. Not too hot. Or Put a field tip in the insert and heat it up with a flame. The heat will migrate into the insert and heat up the epoxy. With pliers grab the tip and twist gently. If the epoxy is warm enough it will release the insert. I immediately take a pistol bore brush and clean out the shaft.

Recently built some Vap SS using the ethic archery inserts based off your last video. It actually saved my arrow after it impacted a wall and just bent the sleeve. Also, recently picked up the ez fletch and kind of kick myself for not doing it sooner.

Tim, I also shoot the RIP TKO Elites. I had a lot of trouble with the AAE max stealth sticking to them (even with AAE max bond kit) I swapped to the bohning heat vanes with a 4" wrap. What is nice about this is the max stealth vane is roughly 8 grains (8.5 average) which adds 24-26grains in the back. Where as the bohning heat vane is 6 grains and a 4" wrap is only 4 grains giving you a total of 22grains in the back.
I know MFJJ doesn't like wraps because of the added weight in the back and decrease of FOC, but the bohning heat with a 4" wrap actually helps FOC slightly. Plus removing a wrap is much easier then removing vanes so it makes tinkering easy.

When you say the HIT inserts are similar you should really say they are the same since ironwill got licensed to use the design

[chrisroman]

Like to see black eagle deep impact arrows with there s.s inserts

[l-a-r-k-y-y]

No parachuting with the extreme mini max helical?

[mtrudge]

Good morning! Love starting my work day with something interesting to think about! Keep it up!

[billmcstay]

Thank Dog... New Elk Shape video!
Just as I was finishing tinkering with Stabs....

[philipm.hostetler]

all my favorite arrow builds are top secret in nature.

[croboss]

Hey what nocks do you use and also field points would help a lot use the same arrows

[alexkitakis]

Should try out the Victory RIP XV 250s. Places are supposed to have them in stock April this year

[kmhendrickson]

I asked the guy from Ethics Archery what he recommends, the SS post/insert cut to the shortest length vs AL left at full length. Surprisingly he said the AL at full length was better, he said leaving the insert at full length increased the strength and reduced the leverage that the broadhead had on the shaft. Just thought I would mention it.
