You can also find them from time to time on ebay. A lot of them will go real cheap. You just have to watch 'em.

You can also try Bowhunters Super Store, they have nearly everything and at good prices.

yes they way alot more than a aluminum insert which helps your FOC. Some people use a heavier broadhead such as a Spitfire 170 grain. But if you use brass inserts that way 100 gr and you use a 100 gr broadhead then you will have the same advantage as using the heavier broadheads. And there is alot more 100 gr broadheads to choose from than 170 gr.

I think there's too much in emphasis in how much FOC is needed, in what I've found between 10 and 15% is a happy place to be, folks should test for their self with different combos to figure how much they need or not, depends on BH also, brass or alum inserts to each their own, but sometimes it's put you must have brass inserts for correct FOC, to me that's not so, this is just what I've figured out in my testing.
