Weight Tubes
Model W5002
Red - two grains per inch
Model W5003
Yellow - three grains per inch
Game Tracker’s weight tubes increase the kinetic
energy of all Carbon Express shafts by increasing
their weight without increasing the spine. The
tubes slide inside the shaft and are held in place
by the nock and insert. No glue is required so the
tubes can be easily removed. Red tubes weigh
two grains per inch. Yellow tubes weigh three
grains per inch.
19
Weight Tubes can also be added for additional
weight (2 options available)
2 grs/inch Weight Tube (length = CXL length minus .23")
3 grs/inch Weight Tube (length = CXL length minus .23")
Total Arrow Length is the Length of the Shaft as
measured from the valley of the nock to the end of the
insert. For this Big Game System the length of the rest
of the possible shaft components are as follows:
CXL Hunter Shaft Length=Total Arrow Length minus .37"
CX Hunter 400 or Terminator Hunter 6075 Shaft
Length = CXL Hunter Shaft Length minus .78"
Weight Tube Length = CXL Hunter Shaft minus .23"
(Note the Weight tubes will go inside the the CXL nock).
An example using the CXL Hunter 250/CX Hunter
400 Combo w/vanes @ 29" would be as follows:
29" CXL Hunter 250/CX Hunter 400 Combo Shaft 593.4 grs.
Big Game Insert 24.0 grs
CXL Nock
11 grs
Fletching (Vanes) 23.5 grs.
Broadhead
175 grs.
No Weight Tubes
826.9 Grains Total
If you are hunting large game, such as an
elephant, it is recommended that an arrow weight
850 grains minimum.
A 2 gr/inch weight tube would add 57.5 grains (CXL
Hunter Length minus .23" or 29 minus .23" x 2 grs.
per inch). This would give a total shaft weight of
884.4 grains.

Installing Press Fit Nocks
ADJUSTED
BOW DRAW
WEIGHT
Using the Nock Tuning Wrench provided,
firmly press the press fit nock into the shaft
by applying pressure to the nock valley base
only. Do not put direct pressure on the nock
tabs -- direct pressure on the nock tabs may
cause the nock to deform, crack or break.
Once seated flush against the shaft, the nock
can be turned for precise tuning using the
Nock Tuning Wrench. Press fit nocks do not
have to be glued to the shaft.
Installing In-Line Nock
Adapters and Nocks
Using the Game Tracker’s Arrow Prep Tool
(Model 6420) or a .270 gun bore brush, scuff
up the inside of the shaft where the adapter
will be installed. Using a cotton swab and
denatured alcohol (available at most hardware stores), clean the inside of the shaft
and the outside of the adapter. Apply a generous amount of epoxy* to the shank of the
adapter. Push the adapter partially into the
shaft and then pull partially out while rotating
to evenly spread the adhesive. Push the
adapter back into the shaft until firmly seated. The final 1/8” of the shank is designed
to press fit inside the shaft to ensure proper
alignment.
Using the Nock Tuning Wrench provided,
firmly press the In-Line Nock onto the
adapter by applying pressure to the

seated flush against the adapter,
the nock can be turned using the
Nock Tuning Wrench.
Determining Your Correct
Arrow Length
Using the bow and release
system you normally use
(mechanical or finger), draw the
bow back to your anchor point.
Have someone mark the shaft
where it comes in contact with the
front of the riser. Measure the length
of shaft from the end of the nock to
the spot marked. This distance is
your standard arrow length.
*Game Tracker’s Archery Epoxy (Model M1035)
should be used for maximum adhesive strength
when installing carbon arrows points, point
adapters and inserts.
DO NOT USE A QUICK SETTING EPOXY.
Quick setting epoxy becomes brittle while hardening and does not create a sufficient bond
between carbon arrow wall and components.
22
We recommend you cut one shaft and install
the front end hardware of your choice to
make sure it is the correct length before
cutting the other shafts.
Procedures for Cutting Carbon
Arrows
1) Always use a high-speed cut-off tool
(above 5,000 rpm) with an abrasive wheel
when cutting carbon shafts. Using tube
cutters or hand saws will damage the
carbon fibers.
2) Always cut carbon shafts with nocks
in place.
WARNING: Always use the appropriate
respiratory protection (NIOSH Approved
Dusk mask), and eye protection (safety
them to come into contact with any surface
once they have been cleaned.
Fletching Carbon Shafts
1) We recommend carbon shafts be fletched
with an archery cement or super glue gel
designed for carbon arrows.
2) Carbon shafts can be fletched with standard fletching figs and clamps. For optimum
performance and flight stability, we recommend bowhunters fletch their shafts using a
helical clamp or a straight clamp with the jug
offset.
Safety Warnings for
Archers/Hunters
The use of a bow and arrow requires considerable
skill and should be treated with caution to avoid
injury to persons and/or property. Bow and arrows
should only be used by those who are properly
trained in safety or under the supervision of a
qualified instructor. Safety glasses should be worn
while working with archery equipment. Read
assembly instructions and all information included
with arrows, hardware and adhesive packages.
glasses) when cutting arrow shafts.
Installing Carbon Express
Inserts
Using the Game Tracker’s Arrow Prep Tool
(Model 6420) or a .270 gun bore brush, scuff
up the inside of the shaft where the insert
will be installed. Using a cotton swab and
denatured alcohol (available at most hardware stores), clean the inside of the shaft
and the inside of the insert. Apply a generous amount of epoxy* to the shank of the
insider taking care not to get epoxy in the
threads. Push the insert partially into the
shaft and then pull partially out while rotating
to evenly spread the adhesive. Push the
insert back into the shaft until firmly seated.
The final 1/8” of the shank is designed to

Points of Safe Shooting
Game Tracker’s carbon arrows should always be flexed in a
gradual arc and visually inspected for delamination. splitting
or impact crush marks prior to shooting. A damaged shaft
could fail completely upon release and cause injury to yourself or others. Never shoot a cracked or damaged shaft.
• After loading into the bow, do not point the arrow at
yourself or others. It may discharge accidentally and
cause serious injury to yourself or others.
• Do not shoot unless the target is visible and you are
aware of what is behind the target area.
• Be conscious of shooting technique and sequence.
Careless handling of bow and arrows and/or distractions
can lead to serious injury to yourself and others.
• Always check all arrow components prior to shooting.
Loose components can cause unbalanced arrow flight
and partial dry firing of bow.
alignment.
Preparing Carbon Shafts for
Fletching
1) Using a clean white paper towel, wipe the
shaft where the fletching will be applied with
denatured alcohol. Continue to lightly wipe
the shaft with alcohol until all carbon dust
and residue is removed.
2) Wipe the base of the vanes with denatured
alcohol also. Most vane producers use a
mold-release agent in the manufacturing
process that must be removed for solid adhesion between the shaft and vane.
3) Do not touch the portion of the shaft to be
fletched, or the base of the vane, or allow
(WARNING: Never soak carbon shafts in any
harsh chemical), including acetone. MEK can
be used on carbon shafts without damage to
the finish if it is rubbed on the shaft with a
clean rag.
1) Use a dull knife to remove old fletching
and glue. Be very careful to only remove
fletching and glue - do not remove any carbon fibers.
2) Repeat steps 1-3 detailed under Preparing
Carbon Shafts for Fletching.
The Shaft Selection Charts were developed based upon
the performance characteristics of a compound bow with
50% to 60% draw weight let-off round wheels, Fast Flight
string and steel cables.
Re-Fletching Carbon Shafts
The proper arrow size for a selected bow may differ from
that of other bow brands or models due to design differences, the particular bow’s set-up, arrow weight,etc.
“Adjusted Bow Draw Weight” is a calculation that
accounts for such differences, making arrow selection
more reliable. To choose the proper arrow shaft size for
your bow, use the Adjusted Bow Draw Weight chart to
determine your correct draw weight, then use the Arrow
Selection Chart to select your arrow shaft size. If your
set-up falls between shafts sizes, choose the higher size
(stiffer spine).
WE RECOMMEND YOU SELECT THE LARGER SHAFT
SIZE IF THE CHART INDICATES YOU ARE BETWEEN
SIZES. NOTE: Due to the equipment and accessory variations, other shaft sizes than the ones shown may be
needed. Experimentation of shaft spine may be required
to fit certain situations. Arrow straightness tolerances
measured over a 28” span.
