Arrow dilemma

[bear]

Well this may be a stupid question but I do not know. I finished making my first dozen arrows yesterday (beeman mfx realtree 340's ) for my drenalin. Wrapped them and then put some sweet blazer action on them. It finally cooled in the evening so I decided it was time to fling a few to see how they did, well, when I tried to screw in a field tip or broadhead neither would screw in unless I pushed down pretty hard and held the tip with pliers while it screwed down....even then it was tough to screw out. Every arrow was like this except one, the one screwed in and out fine and flew great. Is there something I dont know about these hidden insert small diameter type shafts that I should have known before yesterday afternoon. I tried muzzy mx3, g5 strykers, rage 2 blade and then regular field tips all with the same results. What did I do? Help please

uhhh thats weird. i have the exact same arrows and i have yet to have that problem. except the regular feild tips. they dont do so good. i have to get those new small ones. but the rages fit just fine.

you know I don't make my own arrows I get them made at the archery shop, and I have one arrow that does that, the only tip I can get to screw into it fine is a stinger, other than that everything else will screw in about 2/3 of the way and then quit, so I'd kinda like to hear what the problem may be if anyone on here knows

One way to tell would be to look at the heads you screwed in. Check the threads and see if they have markings on them like it was a threading problem and also check the shank of the head above the threads. If it looks like it made alot of contact there you might need to clean out the inside of the arrow shaft above the insert. I had this problem with excess glue in some of mine. Fine sand paper wrapped around a small rod will due the trick.

Sounds like a bad run of inserts. I have had one bad insert, the threads were screwed up.

Try the heads on another arrow that you know is "good".

Those are the small diameter arrows like the Axis if I remember. You git epoxy in the threads. It's almost impossible not to. Did you remember to let them lay flat on teh table for 24 hours before installing your inserts?

[bear]

they came with inserts glued already...... I just put wraps and fletchings on it.... mountain archery cut and glued the inserts

[cheez]

Sounds like Mike is right, you got glue/epoxy/crap in the threads. Get a #10 by 32 tap and run it through (carefully) to clean them out.

Crap on your threads

Find an old point thats got good threads and dip the threads in Nutblaster. screw in till its tight remove and do it again till it goes all the way in dont force it. I have also used this to remove stuck points from inserts
