Loose

[Scattergun2570]

I was wondering if something should be put on the threads of my broadheads. Being my field points always loosen up during shooting,,I figure the broadhead may do the same. Does anyone use something to insure that they don`t loosen?

Some ideas are as follows;

1) Beeswax on the threads
2) Loctite blue 242 threadlocker
3) Teflon tape (plumbing tape)
4) Plastic wrap (Saran wrap, plastic bag etc.)

These are a few ideas and ways I've seen posted on here before, I'm sure I've left out a few. Good luck and hope this helps.

tooth paste works well also.

A rubber O-ring will also work.

String wax.

Is your arrom right wing or left wing fletched I believe left wing loosens your tips but string wax or dental flose helps as well

I use a pair of pliers and give the head a little extra "umph" and that does the trick for me.

The main reason the field points get loose is because when they hit the target, the point quits rotating and the shaft does not and  unscrews it's self a bit.
Should not be a problem with broadheads as they are pretty much one shot deals..
If it is a concern, there are several suggestions above and they all work as does shooting left wing feathers.

For years I have used just a drop of log cabin syrup, it's a sweet smell in the forest.  And all you have to do to take it out is dip the tip in hot water.  And I never had a problem with rust because you clean your broadheads at the end the year anyway.

Does the brand of syrup matter?
