Ribtek is not $2 each any longer company moved to Australia and shipping back to US doubles the cost. I’ll hang on to the ones I have for when I’m running low on bow bullets! Really like the 190 grains for woodies and 160 grains on woody weights are brass adapters for skinny arrows.
Do have one 160 grain STOS I could auction off!

Hard to keep producing something folks won't buy. Traditionalist archers are opting for screw-in broadhaeds, and any other arrow shaft material other than wood on a LARGE basis. Roll your own arrows from scratch are few and far between. Alas but it seems to be the current state of affairs.

Make your own wood arrows takes time, and life gets busy for many folks. I still prefer glue-on heads for wood and arrow adapters for when I do shoot non-wood arrows.

Give me a glue on with an adapter any day over a screw in. Much more scope for different weights and I can glue them up so they are all indexed the same and any head will go on any arrow and be the same orientation.
