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

Originally posted by muddyfuzzy View PostOutserts 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 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.
