Does anyone have pictured of these things installed.

I have a local sitka spruce shaft maker in the area and he sells for a very good price weight matched and all that, problem is he has trouble consistently getting over 60#.  

So I am thinking If I use a woodyweight and cut to 28" BoP instead of 29"(for broadheads). I may get the clearance for my fingers. Then I would have a locally available shaft 55-60#. With 200gr at the tip they should tune right up with my 50#@28 Hill bow.

I guess those wood screw adapters would also work but i heard those sometimes have taper clearance problems

I use woody weights to tune my woood arrows with the added weight.  I use 100gr and 75gr,  they are great,  try them.

These are the 75gr with 125 field point... it adds about 3/8" to the length.  
Hope this helps!
Good luck, shoot straight and God Bless,

Has anybody added a washer , slid down about half way down the taper, as a small game head ?

I've used Woodyweights in the past and they worked quite well for me.  They will add some length and considerable weight, both of which will affect your dynamic spine and static spine needed.  Your fletcher should be able to get higher spines in Sitka Spruce.  Hildebrand usually has 75+ spine available and they are very good shafts.

woody weights work well for adding weight.
If you're just trying to add length look into reparrows.
