Looking for heavy 9/32" field points...

[threeunder]

Anyone know of a source for 9/32" screw-in field points that are heavier than 145 gr?
3 Rivers has them to 145, but I'd like to find some in the 175 gr up to 225 gr range.
Does anyone even make them?

I'm getting some carbs for the first time myself.
They're 9/32" too.

I have some tips on the way that are 5/16" and are 200-300 grains.

I was hoping that a 1/64" lip around the back of the point wouldn't make a noticeable difference even when pulling from the target.

Have you found that little lip to be a real pain?

I figured if they did end up as a problem I could put them in a drill and slightly taper the back edge of them.

Thanks

Its not a huge issue, but more "bothersome" to me I guess.  Guess its one of those things I'm a bit anal-retentive about....LOL

hey man..I get it.
I want my stuff to be RIGHT too.


I haven't seen any, but if I do I'll let you know.

One time I screwed in a 11/32" tip on a test arrow that was 9/32" and found it much easier to pull out of the targets. Now I like the field tip being a slightly larger diameter than my arrow shaft. Anyone else in my camp?

I think gold tip makes some oversized tips called buldge points. Or you can use the larger tips and as stated above by Zadrix and you could slightly taper the back of the point.

A 5/16 point is only 1/32 larger diameter. And can easily get 200 grains or more in 5/16.  As sticknstones notes, hardly noticeable.

And that means the protrusion is only 1/64".That's tiny.If it still bothers you,chuck the point in a drill and use a mill file to taper that little edge.
