Easton 5MM Steel HIT Break-Off Insert Adds Adjustable FOC Control
Easton Technical Products has expanded its accessory lineup with the Easton 5MM Steel HIT Break-Off Insert, a stainless-steel option designed to give bowhunters and target archers more control over arrow balance and durability. The insert features an adjustable break-off design that allows shooters to fine-tune Front of Center (FOC) weight without changing shafts.
Built around the company’s Hidden Insert Technology (HIT) platform, the new component is intended to increase strength at the front of the arrow while maintaining a clean, low-profile fit inside the shaft. The launch adds another tuning option for archers looking to optimize arrow flight and impact performance.

The 5MM Steel HIT Break-Off Insert allows archers to select either 50 or 75 grains by removing a pre-scored section of the insert. Adjusting insert weight directly affects FOC, a key factor in arrow stability and downrange performance, particularly for broadhead setups used in big-game hunting.
Stainless steel construction is intended to boost front-end durability compared to brass or aluminum inserts. According to the company, the material is four times stronger than those alternatives, which may appeal to shooters concerned about bending or deformation on hard impacts.
Compatibility with Easton HIT Collars adds another layer of reinforcement at the shaft’s leading edge, an area that often takes the brunt of repeated use. The insert fits all Easton 5mm shafts and other 5mm arrows, broadening its application across multiple arrow builds.
Price & Availability
The Easton 5MM Steel HIT Break-Off Insert is available now in packs of 12 for a suggested retail price of $29.99. Each pack includes an installation tool and chamfer stone.
For archers dialing in FOC and seeking added front-end strength, the Easton 5MM Steel HIT Break-Off Insert offers a modular approach without requiring a complete arrow overhaul.
