ribtek users I need dimensions
« on: March 04, 2010, 01:53:00 PM »
Any one out there that has some ribteks I would really like the dimensions of the 130, 160, and 190 grain ribteks.  Length, width, and thickness.  Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Mate,
        If you send me your address I will send you a 190 grn head if that would suit you better.

Cheers

Chris,
      The 160 is 1 1/4 at the base and 2 3/4 long.

 I have a 190 that measures 1 1/4 at the base and 3 1/4 long. A new head would probably have a larger measurement than this one. It has been reduced pretty good with a file.

 Hope that helps......Craig

The 160 is 2 3/4 L X 1 1/4 W
The 190 is 3 3/16 L X 1 1/4 W....Note: Both were  made with 23/64 ferrules, the lighter heads with standard 11/32.

Sorry no specs on the lighter heads.

First off Happy Birthday a couple days late.

Second, where is Granite Mtn?

Third, which ones are you missing?  I probably have them all at home.

The 160 Ribtek is probbaly the single strongest broadhead know to man.

Steve ------- you got that right!

The 160 Ribtek is as good as it gets. The only animals I hesitated from shooting with a 160-grain Ribtek were Australian Buffalo.

Other than them, Cape Buffalo, and Rhino, I will not hesitate to use Ribteks.

The "ribs" slightly "rough up" the skin, leaving a hole instead of a slit.

The difference in the blood trail left by a hole and a slit are huge.

Way, WAY too many photos of my Ribtek kills to post. You will just have to trust me on this one. . .

I would just go for the 160's and call er good but have shot stuff with Ribtek 123, 125, 130, 160, and 190.  The dimensions of the important ones are listed above.

I don't know if they are still made or not?

Anybody here in the U.S or Canada? The shipping has to be tough from Oz. Thanks, Greg

I'm sure you can get all the specs you want from the company.
