Title: Carbon Arrow Component ID
Post by: hickry on August 26, 2013, 06:58:00 AM
Haven't shot my carbon arrows in awhile.  I have a component that I can't identify or find... was hoping y'all could help me identify them.  They seem to be aluminum... and add about 1/2" to the length of the nock end of the arrow.  I'll try to get a pic below.  Thanks!  (http://%20[url=http://s238.photobucket.com/user/hickry1/media/image.jpg.html%5D%20%5Bimg%5Dhttp://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff271/hickry1/image.jpg)[/url] [/IMG]

Pretty sure that is a type of collar that protects your arrow.  I use a similar type of thing on my arrows and it kept one arrow from being destroyed by preventing a robin hood that would have split the carbon shaft

Gold Tip made those I believe,it was an adapter that would allow you to add weight to the nock end.That would stiffen up a weak spine,it was all for tuning.I believe they discontinued those years ago.

Thanks guys.  I used them to get a shade more length on mine (tuned a little better)... and now can't find any.  I guess the discontinued part answers that!  Thanks a bunch!

JRY309 has it correct. Made by Gold Tip so weights could be added to nock end of shaft.
