ok guys i have a dozen of these and i want to foot them for stumping and hunting what do i need and how do i do it pics if possible im slow so details please if possible i would buy 12 from someone 1 in. long tappered one end let me know and would trophy hunter 400 be the same as the goldtips if so i need 15 pieces if not what do i need to foot the 400s
Brad,all I had a listing for was a 55/75 G.T.Trad. and that is a 2216.Some will disagree but I've found both ends tapered is favorable.Less shock to adhesive on entry and of coarse for removal.I'm soon to buy one and try it out on my 55/75 gt nugents
i just got the dial caliper out the outside lip of insert is .304 and the shaft is .298 on the 55/75 camo gt exp hunter i dont have a empty arrow to check inside any one have a 2117 and a 2216 they could check for me
2117 will not fit, i think it's 2216 or 2219 i have G/T 5575 and have tried the 2117 and they are just barely too small.
ok i just thought do the inserts have to come out to foot because if not then to get over the insert there would be a .006 gap between the aluminum or does the glue fill that gap please bear with me im new and a lil slow to boot but i want to learn as im typing this should i take out the insert then foot so the insert rides on the aluminum foot to keep it from pushing back or am i wrong
They should slide over the inserts.

I just footed some 3555's tonight for the first time. I used 2117's. I had to sand the insert and shaft a bit to rough them a bit them the arrow slipped over the end. they were tight but i would rather have them tight than loose.
ok guys i just got back from store. i bought some gorilla epoxy 5 minute impact tough 2 part and some impact tough gorilla super glue. i hope it works good. now to get to bow shop and buy some shafts to cut up.
