I'm shooting 31" 2317's out of two bows and three sets of limbs. I haven't bare shaft tested it yet but I think I'm too stiff. My arrows are kicking to the right after release and it gets progressively worse as I increase draw weights. Because I shoot the same arrows in all three bows I wanted to know if there is an easy reverseable way to do or not. I'm shooting the 72#@28 Brack, 66#/72#@27.5 Wallace but the heavier wallace limbs stack faster than the Brack and is over 10fps faster. I'm getting 174fps with the 66#, 181fps with the Brack and 195 with the Wallace 72 limbs.
I added 100 grain brass inserts. Easy enough to reverse if you want to.

Scott.
your wanting just point weight to help correct spine..? or overall weight.. sounds like your wanting point weight.. as Scott said,
or you can use the insert screw in weights (like carbons use) or steel BH adapters 75/100/125 gr

I was just going to try adding weight to start with. I was going to go to a heavier broadhead but I have the 145gr Bear Razorheads coming out of my ears. Thanks guys I'll check both out.
On 2317's and 2419's I use hot glue to glue in a couple of .32cal muzzleloader balls. They weigh 42grs each and I put the. in right behind the insert. They are easily removed by heating up the shaft and pulling the insert.
I have a few (3 or 4 I think) 100 gr brass inserts for 2117's I bought from 3 Rivers left over. PM me your address and I will send them to you if you want to try a few before buying them. I just glued them in with plain old Ferl Tite and they are holding up well. Member Darin Putman was nice enough to offer to send me 3 arrows to try with my bow and i feel like I should pay something forward in his honor.

You can get PDP aluminum inserts that you can add weight to.
I know 3 rivers has them a probably kustom king too
I wanted to shoot a Judo Kondor tonight but needed it to be a lot heavier than it is. So, I tried something new: I weighed a bunch of rubber bands and wrapped them around behind the Judo. The arrow spun pretty good, so I shot it that way, and it shot pretty good, too!
that's what I call ingenuity :) I haven't shot any of my judo's since I've started shooting again. I had thought about the brass washers but I was afraid by decreasing the number of threads engaged I would weaken the head.
PDP inserts can be bought from 3Rivers or *********s for all the aluminum arrow sizes. Various weights from 5 to 50grs can be screwed into each other to adjust the point weight. The weights are screwed into the back of the PDP insert. They work very well..........DaveP
Use an 8/32 tap to run completely through your RPS insert. Use 8/32 threaded rod (cut and weighed to the weights you want)and threaded into the back of the RPS's. Actually, socket head cap screws should fit inside your 2317's. Different lengths, different weights. :thumbsup:

I made my 125 gr. into 145 gr. by adding these brass screws to the back of the insert. I put a tad bit of red Loctite on the threads to keep them from unscrewing.
I would use heavier inserts but those I have not so, this is working fine. Makin do with what I got.
