Glue on glue in adapters
« on: February 26, 2014, 10:13:00 PM »
I'm thinking of switching to this system instead of screw in. Are they really stronger then screw ins? Lets here from some of you who use this system.

I have used the 75 grain brass ones for the past few years.  I really like them and feel they are stronger than the screw in adapters...never did like them much.  I think you'll like 'em.

GIGO adapters are all I use. They are very strong and convenient. Make some arrows with them and go shoot them. You will be impressed.

I do prefer the glue on glue in adapters.  Then foot the carbon arrow.  Much stronger.

I wish the "glue in the shaft" part was longer for a more secure bond.

I use them on 1918s, there is about a 20 grain difference between them and using a screw in broad head adapter with the aluminum pieces.  In forty five years I have never bent either in the process of killing deer.

Sometimes the best choice isnt the most popular.

I believe its a stronger setup also, I use them in my 2018 & 2020. I mostly shoot wood so all BH are glue on anyway.

vintage makes them for Grizzly sticks and they will also fit AD shafts. Same diameter inserts.

I shoot aluminum with glue on adapter.  Like it better than an aluminum BH adapter.
