Marry up the Zwickey to a steel adapter
« on: April 25, 2016, 08:59:00 PM »
Anyone have experience using the Saunders Short Steel 75 grain adapters connected to Zwickey 2 blade 11/32" Eskimo?

I will use Bohning Ferr-L-Tite point Glue heated with an alcohol lamp.

My question relates to actual "fit" with the Zwickey ferrel and steel adapter.

Do the steel 75 grain short and 100 grain long adapters fit Zwickey properly?

I would like to have my goal of 200/225 Grains of broadhead up front.

For me, to marry up the Zwickey to a steel adapter seems to fill the bill.

Basic info:
45# Longbow @ 28"
Arrow length 29"
Arrow: CenterShot 500 Carbon
3 feather.

This weight combo of 200 grain to 225 grains shoot really well for my hunting distance of under 20 yds.

Any suggestions or comments will be greatly appreciated.

They work fine on my Zwickey Deltas.  No reason they shouldn't work on the Eskimos as well. They would be a little big for the Eskalites, which are 5/16.

Works great I'm not sure if they were Saunders I got them from 3 rivers  I made a 125 glue on Eskimo into a 200 gr head
Just make sure you clean the inside of the BH really good Zwickeys come with a bit of oil on them. And I rolled up some Emory cloth and roughed up the inside for better adhesion  After mounting I would spin check them on my arrow spinner. I had to reheat a couple and turn them to get them  to spin true.
I have mine mounted on Beeman MFX classics. With a 100 gr brass insert for 300 total up front.

They work just fine.

THANK YOU GENTLEMEN!

As always, right on mark.
