Alaska Bowhunting Supply does.
Www.grizzlystik.com
Can't give any first hand opinions of them, but they've been around a while with plenty of happy customers.

Just curious and trying to learn, but what specifically about the inserts is it that you don't like?

Thanks,
Dave

Very interesting. What broadheads do you use? Ive always used Easton FMJ with HIIT and never seen any issues with a wide variety of heads.

So I need to thank this forum. Had a few tell me what I was experiencing should not happen. Got a light and the guy who I had assemble these apparently put to much epoxy in and it somehow filled the nocks. Not an issue with the fmj

Its tedious and Im sure not the only way to do it, but in instances I have had this issue, I heated up the threads on a field point and slowly worked it into the insert making sure I didn't leave it in too long for it to dry. Once you do this several times it usually get all the glue out and doesn't affect the arrow or your usage.

Go to hardware and get a tap and use it to remove the glue out of inserts

The Easton Dangerous Game FMJ inserts are put in with epoxy, not glue. I think you will need a special tap. If you cannot fix them, the person that sold them should have to replace them as dealers are supposed to know how to do this and that is part of what their markup can cover - mishaps. I don't know how common the threads are to find a tap for it.

Curious, how many arrows did you get and how many have the problem?

Easton DG FMJ and Grizzly Stick are probably the top heavy arrows being used. I bought a bunch of the 250 spine full metal jacket arrows and have a very nice but very heavy arrow.
