Easton HIT 5mm Aluminum Inserts – Set of 12 with Professional Installation Kit
If you are looking for ultimate precision and structural integrity for your arrows, this set of 12 Easton HIT inserts is the industry standard you need. Unlike conventional inserts that sit on the end of the shaft, the Hidden Insert Technology is designed to be installed completely inside the 5mm carbon shaft. This ensures perfect concentricity between your point and the arrow, resulting in tighter groups and maximum kinetic energy on impact. This comprehensive 12-pack includes everything you need to build professional-grade arrows that won't let you down in the field. The HIT system allows the point to seat directly against the shaft wall, providing a more robust interface that prevents "mushrooming" upon impact. Designed for micro-diameter shafts with a .204" (5mm) inner diameter, such as the Easton Axis or FMJ series, these inserts are a favourite among serious bowhunters. The pack contains 12 precision-machined aluminum inserts, a specialized installation tool for perfect depth setting, a prep stone for shaft cleaning, and high-strength two-part epoxy for a permanent bond.

Installation Guide and Maintenance
Proper preparation is the secret to a fail-proof HIT installation. Use the provided prep stone to square the end of your cut shafts and clean the interior of any carbon dust. Apply the epoxy to the grooved section of the insert and use the installation tool to push it to the correct depth. Always wipe away excess adhesive immediately and let the arrows cure horizontally for a full 24 hours to ensure the bond reaches maximum strength.
What to Avoid:
- Avoid Instant Glue: Do not use CA glue (super glue). The HIT system requires the "working time" of epoxy to ensure the insert is seated at the exact depth.
- Skip the Prep: If you don't clean the inside of the shaft, the insert may pull out when retrieving arrows from high-density targets.
- Improper Alignment: Never install without the depth tool; if the insert is too shallow, your points won't seat properly against the carbon.
Pro Tip from the Field
The HIT system is renowned for improving your arrow's FOC (Front of Center). By keeping the insert lightweight and internal, you can use heavier broadheads or field points to gain better stability in crosswinds without compromising the structural integrity of the arrow's front end.
Recommended Accessories
These inserts are specifically engineered for Easton Axis or Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) shafts. They are ideal for high-performance compound bows with draw weights ranging from 50 to 75 lbs. To complete your build, I recommend using 17/64" diameter screw-in field points for a seamless transition and a high-quality arrow squaring tool to ensure your shaft ends are perfectly flat.
