Title: HELP - Brass inserts for Carbon Express 90's
Post by: KentuckyTJ on February 08, 2015, 03:23:00 PM
Are there any heavier insert options for CE 90's? I'm not ringing any online.

Vintage Archery shows to have 9/32 brass adapters available. I don't know if they would fit or not. I think they are a sponsor on here you could give them a call.

They don't make any brass inserts for the CE 75 or 90's I've found.What I did on my CE 90's when they first came out was to take some 5/16" 50 gr. inserts and file them down to fit.I mounted a blunt in a drill,spun on the insert and spun it and filed to fit.Didn't take that long,came out to around 42 grs.When John of Sipsey River(before he sold to Big Jim) started selling them he took some 100 gr. inserts to a machine shop and had them turned down to fit the CE 90,they came out to around 88 grs.You may try some Easton/Beman H-size brass inserts to see maybe if they will work,the ones that come with Beman Centershots.Both CE 90 and Centershot's are a 9/32" arrow,I'm not sure how close they are.

Not that I know of. Ditto on the 5/16" inserts chucked up in a drill and filed, sanded down.

If you can't find any other way to do it, drill and tap the rear of the inserts the way the GTs are and put a brass 8-32 machine screw in it. You can probably add at least 80 gr that way. I did it, but decided it was more work than it was worth and switched to GT 1535s and used the GT inserts which come threaded for extra weights.

I am now having to file down 100 grain inserts. Just wondering if there were any I could buy. These turn out to be around 82 grains.

3 rivers had them I bought them on accident, meant to return them, and never did. I have no use for them might as well go to someone who does. pm me your address and I'll just ship them to ya. If they work you can buy more from 3 rivers.
