For some of you old timers like myself, did any of you ever use the composite (polymer plastic) inserts back in the 70 & 80's? I remember seeing a lot of them back then but never used any myself. Were they strong enough to be considered a viable insert for the hunting arrow?
They really apparently were a good fit for those folks that were trying to shoot an overall lighter arrow back in the day; keeping in mind that the aluminum arrow ruled and everything from overdraws to composites were being used on both the traditional and 'other' bows.

Used one set. Didn't care for them. 1 broke & they can't be changed very easy without tearing up. If you want to shorten or change a shaft. Too many bows & arrow combos to not use easily interchangeable components for me. O.K. for a specific target rig. >>>----> Ken

I used them for my sons 2315’s he shot from his 70# compound bow. Didn’t see any break. If I recall they were a pain to install. Still have a couple in old tackle box.

I bought some 2512s from a friend with them already installed. 2512 was lighter but certainly not light by today's standards.

2512 is 10.3 grains per inch meaning shafts alone is about 300 grains.
