 :yeah: and how much of a difference you need to make 

If you need to increase it, you can buy lighter nocks or get heavier weight tips.

Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

I already have tips. Need to add weight to the front. Is there something I can put behind the insert? Need to add 40-50 grains.

50 grains? :yike:

You're sure about that?  I really don't know, I did all my calculations before purchasing components so I can't really give much advice there but PM RadSav or somebody who's dealt with it before.

Can you not buy heavier broadheads?

I am trying to make the broad heads I have work. I am shooting trad so I want a high Foc. Could I glue nails in behind my insert?

Dont do that. If you really are interested in adding weight to your tips without upgrading broadhead weight u can get a heavier insert. Some of the brass inserts weight 80-100 grains compaired to the 8-12 grain standards.

There is also weighted spacers that go on before your heads. I believe they come in 10, 20, 50, 100 grain weights to. U can stack if your threading will allow for it.
