Title: ICS Bowhunter 500 inserts/weights
Post by: EHK on April 15, 2012, 08:23:00 PM
Does anyone know if there's a weighted insert or insert that accepts weights available for the ICS Bowhunter shafts in 500 spine?  I know that 3 Rivers sells the 50 grain brass inserts, but my complaint is that they are larger than the actual shaft diameter.  Based on the specs on Beman's page, the 500 is a 9/32 diameter, but the 50 grain brass inserts from 3 Rivers look like they may be 5/16.  I'm looking for a 50 grain insert or a weight system that fits the 500 nicely.  Anyone have any recommendations?  

Thanks guys...

Using 5/16" brass inserts won't hurt a thing. Not aware of any smaller diameter brass inserts out there.

I know alot of the spec's listed for carbons like yours say 9/32 OD.But those shafts have an inside diameter of .246 and the standard 5/16" brass insert will fit a Beman ICS.It will also fit CE 150's and above,Blackhawk Vapor,GT and any other carbon with a .246 ID.Carbon Express have a .244 ID but the same insert will fit them as the ICS.

The 3 rivers 5/16 100gr inserts work fine. I use epoxy and insert them and it works and hold well.
