I install my components the same way you do, with the exception of how i get my field point back out after the glue sets. If you coat the field point shank in a light coat of string wax or shoe polish, ect (any type of release agent) the glue wont adhere to the point at all and u can easily screw the point back out with zero hassle. Maybe its something that will help you out…thanks for the great videos.
Hello MFJJ, greetings from Central Virginia. I just want to let you know how much I enjoy your videos. I have learned so much from you. I am 73 years old and I’ve been shooting for about 3 years. Call me a late bloomer. I taught alpine snow skiing for 18 years until my body said, “That’s enough! Go do something else!” So I took up archery. I shoot as often as I can. Keep up the great work. If I every make it out your way, I would enjoy meeting you. Cheers!
A standard Easton HIT is 16 gr. Paired with a VPA aluminum collar, they call footer, that's 10 gr, it's 26 gr total which gets close to this 22 gr titanium option. I realize titanium is stronger, but I've never had an aluminum HIT bend or break. The insert itself has never failed. The glue and epoxy has failed, but not the insert. I made up a batch of arrows with the standard HIT and used VPA aluminum footers. I've hit rebar in 3D targets, glanced off rocks, stuck trees and 2x4s. The only failure I experienced was the glue. Arrows and components were still in tact. This is indeed an awesome new component system, but I've never understood the dislike people have for the standard HIT inserts. I've used the HITs since the FMJs first came out and broke a lot of arrows along the way and again, not one HIT insert has ever failed me. Just my 2 cents
These look pretty compelling. Would love to see an impact test with these going head to head with other collared systems. Say, for example, the Ethics system? Also, would love to see the same product in a much longer insert to really reinforce the front end of the arrow.
To be clear - would love to see a longer Ti insert - reinforcing the front end while still staying lighter. Ethics inserts are great - but to have a long insert for durability you've got a very heavy insert.
What you're doing 100% matters to me! I am only 3 years into archery and because of this channel I am working on my own equipment and even starting to work on friends equipment that have been shooting for decades and never learned. Because of you I have the knowledge and confidence to do most anything I need to do. I watch every single how to video even if it doesn't pertain to my equipment, and watch most of the review videos because I like knowing about what's it out there. So thank you for caring enough to teach us all!
I might be the only one but I would love to see a titanium hit insert that was 50 or even 100 grains. I like that it would be long and help stiffen the arrow shaft potentially allowing the use of a lighter spine arrow and lighter gpi also that much glue in the arrow seems like it would be extra help to keep everything strong and held together.
Hey MFJJ I've personally gon into your shop and told your employees how much I appreciate your mostly unbiased reviews of all products. I do realize you need to keep your companies happy but your still not afraid to to criticize any particular company. I feel your reviews have helped me build my current bow.
Yeah it's not even funny how much I enjoy your content MFJJ. I still support local but I buy everything I can't get there from you guys. Thanks for taking the time to make great content
Absolutely the best arrow components I’ve tried!! Was using your titanium half out which I still use on some arrow builds but the shorter collar on your HIT System makes them better than most as I can cut my arrows shorter being a 31.5” draw length. I was able to go from a 29.75” arrow using Ethics half jackets to a 29.25” carbon to carbon and not only increased my foc but made tuning even easier.
I just wanted to say I really respected your comment about local bow shops considering you have an online shop. I think your content is solid and very helpful. Thanks for your time and effort.
It matters to me! I’ve learned so much about archery and equipment because of you. I started in December and I’m completing my own bow work and arrow builds.
Hey MFJJ, what you're doing definitely matters. James mentions in the latest Bow Disciples podcast that everyone that talked with you at the Challenge was so appreciative of your willingness to impart your many years of knowledge. I can say the same thing about Elkshape Camp. Everyone benefited from your help! So I thank you sir! Question: What are your thoughts on the Valkyrie system?
Man you guys are the best at archery reviews and info and demonstration....I am 68....been shooting archery since 17....but I have learned more from you than any body else every...Great job ..and thank you for all you do
Just installed these on my vaps and love them! so glad i can get a insert that won't break or bend! i was running the Iron Will inserts and collars and they are also awesome and reliable but i hated being limited to deep six.... now i just gotta sell my iron will single bevels and ill be GTG! Thanks for the great product!
I have learned a lot watching your channel! You do a great job explaining how things work and make it a lot easier for a novice like myself to feel comfortable working on my own equipment. I've definitely leaned on your arrow building videos and have dramatically lowered the weight of my arrows while still feeling confident I can get clean pass throughs.
Here I am tinkering with my arrows and starting to consider a HIT system only to find yours. Sweet! Looks like the Ti HIT inserts are already sold out though.
Thank you so much for your valuable time. It is very much appreciated here and all the help you have given me. I wish more pro shops were like you. All my local shops are very little help
Mahalo Nui! For all you do. Everything out here in the pacific rusts! I know there are stainless options, but titanium just makes more sense for what I’m doing. I heard you talk about possibly making titanium components for bows, limb bolts etc. that would be amazing. Can only vouch for myself, but id use em. Mahalos again. Watch all your stuff on your channel and others and have and am still learning from them
It matters all around the world, mate! I'm subscribed to all the channels of you and the other lads! I've learned so much, and with that knowledge I've gained confidence in working on my own bow. (After I purchased a press, vice, etc etc) Tearing the bow down to fix limb misplacement scared the crap out of me, btw!!! But my bow now actually shoots Just built 12 RIP TKOs (first time building my own custom arrows.) I just wish international postage from the USA to Australia wasn't so expensive, slow and prone to loss! Anyway Keep up the excellent videos and the good work of spreading the knowledge! Sincerely, Tim from Oz
I'm hoping you're making a full titanium kit for a Mathews. I've been piecing one together for the last 3-4 months and its a PIA to source the correct screws or even find info without a trip or 2 to the hardware store with a pen and pad. I should have kept track on how much weight I've already saved. Pretty much Axles, Axle screws, and limb bolts are the only thing on my bow currently not swapped to titanium. Currently about to tackle the landslyde hardware.
I have heard some people asking for a half-outs system for .245-.246 arrows I switched my arrow size from 6mm-6.5mm to 4mm because of that reason I think a lot of people switch to 4mm or 5mm solely because of the half-out systems and outsert systems are only offered for those 2 sizes just some ideas and the reason for them other than that I dig the new components the system looks really good
Make a pick mount that mounts in the traditional sight holes but wraps around the front so guys with older bows can run a somewhat integrated streamlined sight.
Thank you Josh for the content and help and also food for thought. I have ordered supply's from you and it always does up earlier than it says. Getting supply's to build a new set up for this year and I will probably be browsing around. Keep up the great work.
I think you have really good ideas. I’m interested in a lightweight collar for my Axis 5mms. I have a 31” draw so my arrows are on the heavy side with a 125gr BH at 520gr. and want to reenforce the business end of my arrow without adding much more weight. The titanium seems to be the perfect solution.
I might have to give that iron will hot melt a try on the next batch of rip tkos i get, i've try just about every glue on the market and the only one that ever really stuck on a victory arrow was bob smith ic 2000 rubberized. But those inserts look awesome and im sure they are going to sell like hot cakes...because everyone knows that a hit with a collar is the most bomb proof component you can put on a arrow. Also we are all still waiting for your hooter shooter and laser beam video.
I get a lot out of your channel. You’ve convinced me to buy your stabilizer and an offset bracket. I’ve thought about taking the 22 hour drive to visit your shop ( I have relatives just across the state line from your store ). Even if I am not in the market I still learn things from watching your videos.
I been using iron will reinforce hit system because they make a 25 grain insert and collar for 50gn up front without my broadheads. I use 100gn broadheads so i usually get 150gn foc
Now this is content for the people, thanks for your work MFJJ 🤙 If you shipped to Aus I'd buy them, been looking for something of this nature / stronger materials and QA for awhile now. Keep it up
I set up a Stackry account and had a few things sent there, including some stuff from Podium. They combined everything and postage to Aus was pretty good. a good service, I would recommend if you had a few things from multiple retailers to bring over.
A heavier titanium HIT. They are longer than equal weight stainless and will support the shaft further away from the point. Ethics makes them already. I enjoy MFJJ's content and support him when i can.
This is awesome! Question on collars - I noticed the RIP XV 300 (OD 0.255) calls for collar H (0.263). Wouldn't it be better from a squaring/alignment perspective to get the size D (0.254) and lightly sand down the tip of your arrow? Also - impressed with the price points. You'll be selling piles of these.
Hello from Bellingham WA ,let’s GO HAWKS!! I’m shooting the 6mm Easton sonics I would like to run a knock collar or bushing and what nock Not sure what size fits the 6mm and a better insert /collar than the stock insert
This might sound kinda weird but what about steel inserts for .245 arrows I love the .245 size for durability and price, you usually can get a dozen for 90 dollars or less. There are only a couple of companies that make steel inserts for standard diameter arrows and I think they can be made lighter and better if you do it.
Im looking to build a set of new hunting arrows. What are the advantages/disadvantages with this hit and collar system compared to your 5mm half out and collar? Any information would be greatly appreciated.
I've been using hot melt this year and love using it over glue. I've been screwing your hit insert or an Iron Will insert (deep six option) all the way on the point and hot melting the whole thing into the arrow and just leaving it. I glue 6 arrows with field points and then the other 6 with broadheads. I could be wrong but I feel it makes the strongest connection possible. Any input if this is the wrong thought process?
I shit you not, I just called your shop to ask about some tips and tricks and the guy at your shop told me NOT to use hot melt with hot inserts and he strongly recommends against using it. Haha. Holy shit.
Didn't Easton just come out with collar? I'd imagine there isn't a patent on collars though. I'm still watching this will these fit fmj, I have a dozen of them and have hated that if you hit anything the fronts would split. They fly great but weak front end
Why do you use a wrist strap? Doesn't it add pressure to the bow? Is there really a difference in flight between a small diameter arrow and a standard arrow? Has anyone actually conducted a test in a crosswind situation and measured the difference using the same components just a different size arrow.. Say shooting in a calm environment (garage) out into a moderate crosswind and actually measured the difference say at 60 yds.

I install my components the same way you do, with the exception of how i get my field point back out after the glue sets. If you coat the field point shank in a light coat of string wax or shoe polish, ect (any type of release agent) the glue wont adhere to the point at all and u can easily screw the point back out with zero hassle. Maybe its something that will help you out…thanks for the great videos.
I’m digging the collars. But $4 per insert is wild though lol.

I still remember your debuted on the Elk Shape channel years ago. Glad you created your own channel--you're a knowledgeable, no-nonsense dude.
Thanks for all of the time you put into these videos! You do a great job.
Man you guys are the best at archery reviews and info and demonstration....I am 68....been shooting archery since 17....but I have learned more from you than any body else every...Great job ..and thank you for all you do
I’ve been waiting for someone to make HIT’s that are threaded on the back end. Finally! Thank You Josh!!!!
Yeah I've never liked the hot inserts for that exact reason,. No collar but I'm glad your making em now
Just installed these on my vaps and love them! so glad i can get a insert that won't break or bend! i was running the Iron Will inserts and collars and they are also awesome and reliable but i hated being limited to deep six.... now i just gotta sell my iron will single bevels and ill be GTG!

Excellent idea because most other brands is trying to add more weight ✌🏻👍🇺🇸
Your channel probably grows so fast because you have great useful info. Cutting my arrows 1/2” or so from launcher was very helpful. Thank you.
some awesome options to play around with and get your weights just to where you want them.
I was actually planning to find a machine shop to start making exactly this! 25 grain stainless HIT threaded for insert weights.
Congrats on your new system! Might be the best option on the market right now!!
Just wish SVA would make cheaper shipping rates to Canada 😢
Thank you so much for your valuable time. It is very much appreciated here and all the help you have given me. I wish more pro shops were like you. All my local shops are very little help
Love the hot glue but never thought about leaving the point and removing later. Thanks!!
Mahalo Nui! For all you do. Everything out here in the pacific rusts! I know there are stainless options, but titanium just makes more sense for what I’m doing. I heard you talk about possibly making titanium components for bows, limb bolts etc. that would be amazing. Can only vouch for myself, but id use em. Mahalos again.

Josh rules and podium is awesome, I ordered all my online things from them, Doug also rules.
I bought them and they work fantastic thanks MFJJ.🙏🏽
Just ordered some collars. Can’t wait to try them! Thanks for all the info you share though your videos
I'm hoping you're making a full titanium kit for a Mathews.

Currently about to tackle the landslyde hardware.
I love the ti pieces it keeps it hard but light maybe do nock bushings next so people to build balanced arrows instead of just high foc
pretty excited about the small titanium collars, thanks for bringing them to market.
Excellent Josh me and my son has finally got our accuracy good enough for high end arrows and components so God bless and be safe
Bye the way great job

Awsome stuff been waiting for MFJJ hits! How about a titanium nock collar. That would be awsome!!!

It definitely matters my man! Thank you
Thank you for all the awesome information you put out! Killing Josh! 🤘🔥
I'm definitely interested in that system keep it up
Will they fit the ACC shafts with the uni knock
Thank you for sharing this great information
God's Blessings
Now this is content for the people, thanks for your work MFJJ 🤙

Hey MFJJ! Thanks for the great content. Any plans on making a system for .166?

Question when will you be doing another video about the Mach 30? Just saw the podcast.
Love it!! Keep the videos coming
That system is sweet ❤
Hello from Bellingham WA ,let’s GO HAWKS!!
I’m shooting the 6mm Easton sonics I would like to run a knock collar or bushing and what nock Not sure what size fits the 6mm and a better insert /collar than the stock insert
Let's go! 🏹
Hell ya. Time to go shopping
How about some inserts for some standard diameter shafts
Nice!!!!! Awesome job brother man
This might sound kinda weird but what about steel inserts for .245 arrows I love the .245 size for durability and price, you usually can get a dozen for 90 dollars or less. There are only a couple of companies that make steel inserts for standard diameter arrows and I think they can be made lighter and better if you do it.
I didn’t know you could use hot glue in carbon. I always used it in my aluminum arrows. Does it hold really good? Love the channel
Will you guys be making a podium archer thumb release
Im looking to build a set of new hunting arrows. What are the advantages/disadvantages with this hit and collar system compared to your 5mm half out and collar? Any information would be greatly appreciated.
When would you want to use these versus your half-outs?
Please make a .244 stainless insert, and collar!
How about some footers for regular gold tip arrows
Hey, Thank you man!
Any advantage over the Easton Half-Out inserts?
Thanks dude!
What’s the benefit of a collar and insert vs a half out ? Just weight and less length?
Not sure if you're making it already but a collar for deep six arrows
I've been using hot melt this year and love using it over glue. I've been screwing your hit insert or an Iron Will insert (deep six option) all the way on the point and hot melting the whole thing into the arrow and just leaving it. I glue 6 arrows with field points and then the other 6 with broadheads. I could be wrong but I feel it makes the strongest connection possible. Any input if this is the wrong thought process?
How do those collars match up with Shok TL204 Aluminum Inserts?
Have you tried the raised lighted nocks?
Do you have components for the element arrows? Storm .166 and the Fire and Ice-.204
I shit you not, I just called your shop to ask about some tips and tricks and the guy at your shop told me NOT to use hot melt with hot inserts and he strongly recommends against using it. Haha. Holy shit.
Man Run these on some rip xv's for tac would be the bees knees. Also probably have to upgrade to uv speed tape 😂
Didn't Easton just come out with collar? I'd imagine there isn't a patent on collars though. I'm still watching this will these fit fmj, I have a dozen of them and have hated that if you hit anything the fronts would split. They fly great but weak front end
Any collar systems for standard size arrows?
When will your fletching jig be out?
Do you have some that will fit day six arrows?
Why do you use a wrist strap? Doesn't it add pressure to the bow? Is there really a difference in flight between a small diameter arrow and a standard arrow? Has anyone actually conducted a test in a crosswind situation and measured the difference using the same components just a different size arrow.. Say shooting in a calm environment (garage) out into a moderate crosswind and actually measured the difference say at 60 yds.
How about titanium cam axles without E clips?
can these be used on the Axis 4MM Long Range arrows?
