Hello everyone,

This week, I would like to share what options you have for your 8IGHT-X and 8IGHT-XE for arm inserts. First option is leaving the arm insert out, which allows the arm to flex the most; this is better in low grip situations. The downfall to that is the arm will collect loose dirt/clay in the pockets of the arm.

Second, is running the plastic arm inserts that come with the arms, which gives a little less flex, but is not totally rigid. It also covers up the pockets and it gives a smooth look without an area for dirt/clay to collect.

Finally is the carbon inserts, (TLR344037 Front, TLR344038 Rear) which gives you the most rigid arm possible and the smooth look without an area for dirt/clay to collect. This way seems to work best in high grip situations.
