Outserts?

[TxBowHntr]

I have been seeing more and more TV shows, social media posts, etc... that have arrows with outserts. What is the deal with this trend? Is it something I should look into? Which outserts do I get, and are they easy to install? Thanks in advance!

Check out Ethics archery. It just gives you more weight up front to help with FOC, like on my arrows,which I shoot Black Eagle X-Impacts at a .300 spine at 26.5 inches long, I have 305 grains up front. My total arrow weight is 550 grains shot out of a 60 lb Obsession Evolution

Outserts have actually been around a long time but with the increase in popularity of micro diameter shafts they have become a lot more common. There are basically two options for micros: one being a HIT style insert and the other an outsert type. The draw back to the HIT type is that the bond across the ID of the shaft and insert has to carry a sheer load across the adhesive at impact to prevent the head or tip from pushing reward into the shaft. When the bond sheers the tip is driven back into the shaft blowing it out many times into a mushroom type shape. Outserts have a little more bonding surface and also anchor to the front, in addition they also act as shaft footer making them more reliable imo. Upon impact the outsert design passes the load across the shaft in a moment of compression similar to what a conventional insert design deploys. Most manufacturers supply oem ouotserts with their shafts and Ethics is a great aftermarket option as well.

I am shooting the GT Pierce Pro 400's and they have an outcert for the shaft. I have had Zero issues using them and like the protection that it gives the shaft and the added stiffness for my broadheads.

I have had bag luck with Black Eagle outserts coming unglued, but I've had very good luck with Ethics and Day Six insert/outserts. I really like the insert/outsert combo!

I used to have the same problem. I did some research and switched over the AAE two part slow cure epoxy several years back and now I can’t get them off if I wanted to. Made a big difference, a huge difference.

I been shooting the hidden inserts for years and killed a lot of rocks and lumber. Some units that were Pope and Young size. Never had a HIT to fail.
