By any chance does anyone out there sell arrows weights / inserts in like a assortment deal ? Kind alike how they sell the lil bit and bolt assortments in a tackle box ?

Yes. I think ranch fairy has a lot for the heavy arrow crowd. There are lots for those that aren't

Here you go Wolfdog, I thing these kits may be what your looking for. Its the Ranch Fairy kits mentioned above.

I’ve seen both sides of the argument on arrow and broadhead weights and both come down to being able to hit the spot. Supposedly the heavier weight allows for bone penetration whereas the lighter weights tend to fail. And by bone I mean straight shoulder bone. Granted, I’ve seen mechanicals that have gone through one shoulder and exited behind the other, but the physics behind the heavier weights prove they perform at a higher percentage of the time.
Ranch Fairy is extremely knowledgeable and a bit arrogant, but he knows his stuff. I don’t shoot super light arrows, but nothing like what he promotes. I also prefer fixed, cut on contact blades, but will shoot mechanicals for does. Again most all my shots are under 30yds and generally in a brush limb free area. I don’t shoot in brush or thread needles. A deer ain’t that important to me, lol.

Honestly I just have a growing bucket of arrows missing inserts and the like and I just wanna start playing around with them along with fletching

I don't think he's arrogant at all. It's all his youtube character. Yes, he l knows his stuff.

No don't get me wrong I do find the whole high FOC arrow thing very interesting and I was actually eating some of ranch fairies video the other night and ..idk one second I'm enjoying him next I'm like " dude please shut up and get to the point !" Dont think imma get super crazy about it though. Think I'll just try to middle ground it.

What I am really curious about is thee claims that a larger percentage of animals don't run or don't run as much with these high FOC arrows as with super light and fast ones. It always really interested me watching videos where someone would poke a deer or pig and they would either just keep over or run off a few yards look around and just fall... Anytime I've asked about this though in archery groups.....well, would just walk away wishing I don't ask ..

Now will say I have been enjoying listening to all the Ashpy lectures. Not sure how I feel about most of if I'll go all crazy with his methods but it's very interesting

Cabela’s carries a heat shrink fletch that you dip in hot water after slipping it over the arrow shaft then line up the nock on it. Pretty slick and requires nothing but a hot pan of water.

I looked into crossbow bolts that’s a real mess trying to figure out compatible bolts to buy a real mess no uniformity like a shaft chart with regular arrows.

Dot. Know if I'd can go back to vanes after fetching with feathers just love em for some reason

Feather are my #1 choice but are getting harder to find, except for wet weather issues they are very forgiving compared to plastic fletchings and feathers still shoot when wet.

Wolfdog, we ain’t shooting those type of arrows, but out of the last 10 deer or so my son and I have shot haven’t made it out of sight. My sons P&Y buck walked off and laid down after being shot with a MegaMeat.

I think anything shot through the shoulder will run.
I think folks yelling or making any sound before shooting will have a deer running.
I think an alert deer looking at you will run.

A lot of inserts are threaded in the back same as front. These screw in with a long allen wrench and can be added to installed inserts. It says for black eagle arrows but all inserts I've seen threaded on the back are all the same pitch.

3rivers also has all the feathers you could ever need. Never had a hard time finding them
