G5 ASD
« on: August 20, 2008, 10:19:28 AM »
Anybody use the g5 arrow squaring device? A friend of mine learned about them at a broadhead tuning seminar. Just wondering if it's worth the $40.00. :dunno:

Yes it is worth it!  You will also have to get a spin tester too.  It will make your broadhead spin true with your arrow making it more accurate.

My inserts are already glued, is it still possible to straighten them out properly at this point? Or is it much better to do the shaft before gluing inserts in?
 Thanks for the reply BC

It has 2 sides to it 1 for shaving carbon and the other for aluminium.  I shoot Easton Axis FMJ's and I use the aluminium shaver.  Im not sure about doing it before inserts, it probably would be wise but I would spin them even with the inserts in and shave it down if needed as well.

I have one, but dont think it made a big difference.  Just another step in possibly improving your groups.  If you fish around you can buy one for about 30 bucks maybe a little less.

I use one after I cut my arrows.  Almost nobody can cut an arrow exactly perfectly square, so it gets you to the proper starting point once the cut is made.  The better shops will use one after the cut to make sure the stuff that goes out the door is the best quality possible.  I then will use the aluminum side to trim the insert to perfectly square, and that helps in getting the broadheads to spin better.  If you use the hidden inserts, then there's only one step in the squaring process. 

So, to answer the question, yes they are worth it if you are looking to get the equipment performing at its peak.  If you are willing to accept a little bit of equipment error, then you're probably fine without it.  However, there are so many variables in bowhunting that I choose to eliminate as many equipment problems as I can.

+1 what Todd_ID said. I have one and wouldn't consider building an arrow without it!!!

I went to Cabella's yesterday and bought one. Picked up a spin tester made by Apple also. No regrets, it's a nice tool. :tup:        :rockin:
