Aluminum glue on broadhead adapters
« on: January 08, 2012, 01:28:00 PM »


Looking at this style of adapter to use on my 2016's with zwickey eskimos. I see Flitemate and PDP make these adapters. Any preference as to which brand?

Thanks,
Shawn

PDP is quality.

I use their RPS point inserts with my 2212 aluminum arrows and if they're broadhead adapters are of the same quality as their replaceable point inserts, which I think it is, you won't be disappointed with them.

I have used both brands and they are both very well made IMO.

Are the Eskimos 5/16 or 11/32 ferrule? You might need to order differant sizes. The ones I have found for 2016 are 5/16 ferrule which mean the 115 gr not the 125 11/32 ferrule. If you found a 11/32 for the 125gr thats great!

Eskimos are 11/32 so the arrow would go up in the head a bit. I would assume it wouldn't be a problem. Tim, you don't sell these do you? I didn't see them listed.

We carry them for the common internal component carbons sizes only.   "[dntthnk]"   But thanks for checking!

They will work fine. Although if I were you I would think about tuning my arrows with the brass version instead of the aluminum. You cannot believe the durability increase.
