I believe Rib Teks are still available from a shop in Australia called Archery Supplies.
They have a web site. It is not hard to order online.

I've had the opportunity to see the ones on Morrisons site. They are screw in's, not glue on's. The gentleman who makes them is out of Canada and they are expected to be out this summer. They are 300 grains and are solid. I can't wait to try one. Bob says they blow right through deer.

I will be carrying the Xtreme 300 when it comes out...yes it is a screw on stainless steel 3 blade head with a slight tanto tip...Asgier, the fellow out of Canada that is going to be producing them is doing some final preparations before they go to market. He was at the K'zoo show at Bob Morrison's booth and selling some of the prototypes...they are very easy to sharpen to a razor edge and fly very well on my arrows. I have 3 of the prototypes that "missed" the weight and they are 350gr each...man do they shake a block target when they hit. I am shooting a 45/60 carbon with a 100gr brass plus the 350gr b'head..total arrow weight is just over 700gr..they fly just fine.
The heaviest glue on that I have found is the Ace 200gr Super Express...I carry them as well and they are an awesome head!! With a 125gr steel b'head adapter you get weight the tip up 325gr...

Yeah I konw that, I get my RIBTEKs 190 on a 125gr steel adapter for a 315gr head, and than you can get all kinds of weight up front with the PDP sistem, on my alluminum I got a total of 435gr up front like that, with an arrow weight 850gr, .......but I'm talking about manifacturing a glue on BH in the 250-300gr range.
staying on topic would be nice

Get SCA arrowheads. You know, the geeks that dress up in armor and play fight, they make REALLY heavy broadheads for that. Of course they are not sharp at all, but a half hour with a grinder and they are perfect. I have one on my new arrows, and its around 345 grains at the tip. I think about 600-700 or somewhere overall. The thing is, Im shooting a 45# bow, and that arrows is flying better than any other I have at hunting distances. And its by far the hardest to get out of the target, it blows through almost everything, boxes, hay, tree bark....

Michael, we have 190 grain 11/32" field points in stock. As you might imagine a popular item with our Grizzly 190 shooters.

I want to move to a 190 grain head. I will be shooting 11/32" wood shafts what do you guys do for field points? The heaviest they make for 11/32" is 160 grain.
I've got 11/32 190gr field tips. Go to tradbits.com.au

I asked a similar question recently, and a couple Trad-Gangers recommended 'woodyweights' which was the perfect solution for me. They are tapered steel adapters that you glue onto wood arrows, and then you glue any broadhead you like onto that. They come in 25 grain increments, from 75 grains to 200 grains. I ordered the 200 grain ones to try with 160 grain STOS broadheads. My arrows fly great!

There ya go! I'm shooting 160 Stos with 75 grain Woody Weights, but could go higher. How about that 200 grain Ace with a BIG Woody weight? Lots up front. They fit the arrow taper really well and the broadhead taper. Mine spun true after I put them on. Good luck.

I have been going through the same problem getting heavy weight heads for my heavy wood shafts. The woody weights work in getting good arrow flight but then the thin blade on the broadhead becomes the weak part. I shoot each broadhead arrow several times to make sure they are flying right and have noticed that after 8 t0 10 shots some of the heads no longer spin true. On examination they all have very slight bend at the end of the ferrel. This happened to both the tusker 175 and the 175 ace with 75 gr woody weights for an arrow in the 800-850+ range. My guess is that the heavy spinning shaft and the twisting on impact is more than the .036 to .040 blades can take repeatedly. A stronger head with a .070 to .090 blade thickness might be a better way to go and get the overall weight up.

Check with Todd. I don't think the new, heavy STOS will be out before deer season is over, but it might be ahead of the projected schedule. I concur, we NEED some really heavy glue-on STRONGLY BUILT broadheads; and not just for the woody shooters. I did a tiny bit of testing this year with some Ultra Extreme FOC arrows (those above 30% FOC) from a little 40# recurve, and was REALLY impressed with the results. Plan to do a lot more with them next year - assuming I'm able to.

You'll HAVE to be able to Doc...otherwise I'll havta do the testing for ya hehehe...
All is still chaos with this moving house but...while the shed isn't ready for workshops, the archery gear has it's own cubby-house and the bows are 'resting' on my spare bed till I get a new rack up for them.
This girl knows what's important
Mum was having a winge about my backyard being too big...clamed up and storked off when I said "but it'll give me a fantastic shooting lane when I'm set up" hehehe
We'll just put you up under the mango tree when you come back down under and you'll be all set to go.
Keep exercising and get yourself better boy

I use to search threw my pile of wood shafts for the heaviest I could find but my new way of thinking is to find the lightest I can which isn't going to be easy since now I have to move up in spine and make up the weight with broadhead instead of arrow mass to attain the 10-12 gpp I like.
