Oh, for the love of tinkering!
« on: September 09, 2013, 03:29:00 PM »
So, I am off today but, unable to get up to my hunting grounds. Thought I'd play around with my arrow setup and ended up putting these Ribteks on my hunting shafts. Total arrow weight now, 478gr, 480gr and 481gr. They flew like missles from my HH Red Hawk! I could not believe how straight they flew and one went almost clean through my broadhead target! Now to sharpen them.   :D

Yep, time to sharpen and then find something to sail 'em through TW.

Are the ribteks a recent purchase ? If so where did you get them? Thanks Mike.

I got the Ribteks a couple of months ago from another Tradganger. I got a dozen and they are the 130 grain ones. Fly amazingly straight!

I originally wanted to put them on some woodies but, the financial adviser squashed that with a quickness! Said to use what I got so, I put them on the AD Trad Lites. Good decision if I do say so myself.    :)

Well, since the first post, I've been sharpening them and got a really good edge put on. I sharpened them with a small bastard file and then finished them off on my diamond hone. I sure hope something comes along to test them on!

Thanks Mike! If you can get a hold of some Ribteks, I think you'll really like them. They sharpened up a lot easier than some other heads I've used.   :thumbsup:
