Pin and Inserts are the components of absolute importance that guarantee together with points, nocks and fletching that you have a perfect arrow.
The insert is fundamental for the correct fixing of the point, and conversely the pin is essential for the correct insertion of the nock and the precise rigidity of the shaft.
Both Pin and Inserts are in the Glue-In category because both need to be glued onto the rod. To facilitate this, Tipping Point has developed two different stem finishes:
With grooves that allow the glue to adhere to the gap created between the shaft wall and the pin/insert filling it.
With crossed knurling that creates a certain friction between the rod wall and the pin/insert and therefore improves the work of the glue.
How come Pin and Inserts are so important, as well as their correct choice?
Let’s go over the reasons:
If at the beginning of a carbon arrow there is a point, there is a dedicated pin at the other end that is just as important as the point just think that the thrust given to the arrow comes from the back and that the pin must then support and manage thrust and breaking stress.
For this reason, our points have a constructive flexibility that makes them perfectly fit without air between pin and shaft, so we are sure there are no vibrations during shooting.
Once installed in the shaft, it has the function of accommodating the nock, our pins are made to accommodate the nocks that are on the market and reinforces the union between them.
All our pins are made of aerospace aluminium which translates into low weights and less problems with balancing the arrow, combined with the advantage of an extremely resistant and compact product.
If you want to use threaded Screw-In points, our shafts must be equipped with the right insert. This acts as a support to the points making replacing them very easy and fast.
Installation takes place by gluing the insert into the rod so it must respect the diameters dictated by the different plugs.
To explain how an insert is constructed, we can "divide" it into three fundamental components:
Stem diameter, fundamental for the choice of the shaft in which to insert it and which is made with grooves or crossed knurling for the glue.
Collar diameter, which varies according to the spines of the shaft and acts as a support for the point. It also has a bevel which is the place of the O-Ring when Screw-in points with OR are used.
Internal thread, which is standard 8/32” UNC, where all Screw-In tips can be threaded.
All our inserts are made of aluminium to reduce the influence of the material on the possible weight to the minimum.
