Hi folks. Question for the braintrust on weights.
I have been shooting 100 grain broadheads (mostly mechanicals) for years, with good success. For numerous reasons that are outside the scope of this post, I am strongly considering switching to 150's, and thus re-sighting my bows appropriately (Matrix 380 shooting Diablos and an Exocet 200 shooting Firebolts). I have a bunch of 150 gr. Boltcutters (that I have never used), but also a bunch of 100 grain "other" broadheads. I would like to find some screw-in inline weights to make my 100 grain broadheads into virtual 150 grain broadheads. It seems that I can find plenty of such inserts for narrower "archery" arrows, but can't seem to find any for Crossbow bolts.
I recognize that I will have to play with the various configurations because they will all shoot differently, but I would like to even out the weights if I can and avoid having to scrap my 100 grain boradheads....Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Re: Screw-in weights
If I'm understanding correctly, you want weights that will screw into the front of your existing arrows. I would check with 3 Rivers Archery. They deal with mostly traditional equipment and may have what you're looking for.

I screw socket head capscrews in to the back of the insert, I then add
a drop or so of hotmelt. Works great, you just have to try some various
lengths in order to get the desired weight.
