Adjustable archery arrow insert
View Patent ↗The Adjustable Archery Arrow Insert is a three-piece arrow tip attached to an arrow shaft and includes an arrow tip insert, an arrow tip collar, and an arrow tip. The arrow tip insert is threadably received by the arrow tip collar and is attached to the arrow shaft, where the arrow tip is inserted within, and the arrow tip collar overlaps, the arrow shaft. The arrow tip is inserted through the arrow tip collar and attached directly to the arrow tip insert without protruding into the arrow shaft. Sections of the arrow tip insert may be removed to adjust the overall weight of the arrow. The Adjustable Archery Arrow Insert transfers the impact forces of the arrow tip to the arrow tip insert and arrow tip collar, where the forces are transferred over a larger area thereby minimizing the forces on front edge of the arrow shaft.
