5/16 broadheads

[Holm-Made]

I know Zwicky make the 110 grain glue on Brodhead for 5/16 shafts.  I was wondering if any other companies made a glue on BH to fit smaller shafts.  I have some swaged 1820 aluminums that I want to make into hunting arrows.  They are like a 9/32 shaft.  

Any ideas would be appreciated.  All my broadheads are 11/32 and they are way too big.

Magnus Is or is the IIs are 5/16 inch, regardless, it's the smaller Magnus two blade.  Howard Hill makes a 145 grain 5/16  head.  There are others.

Magnus and Del Ma.

Try some Bear Razorheads.

Chad, I think Ace makes a 5/16, thought Terry had some on the Knocking Point trailer. Not 100% pos though.

I think Tusker makes a 5/16, and I'm pretty sure the Bear Razorheads are smaller to.

Not sure now but Ribtek used to make them.  Inexpensive and pretty solid 2-blade head.

Howard hill heads come in 5/16.

I have a bunch of the Zwickey Eskilites.  Send me an email if interested.

There are a few 5/16 dia broadheads made, but the selection is slim and they are usually kinda light. I know it looks a little different, but you can mount 11/32 heads on smaller shafts just fine.  The taper is the same.  I've done it with 5/16 shafts for years without any negative issues whatsoever.  You can also grind some off the back of the ferrule until you get the diameter you want.  I did that for a while until I realized it just wasn't necessary.  Having the shaft fit all the way inside the ferrule actually makes for a stronger installation as there is no sharp stress riser where the ferrule meets the shaft.

I have a bunch of the old aluminum head shrinkers.

Thanks guys, I'm looking into some different options.  What I have is a ton of these shafts (1820, 9/32 diameter) and I'm trying to make them work for both my son and I for hunting and target.  They are a nice, tough shaft with good weight.  They spine about 50# so they are a little weak for my 200 grain screw in points that I usually use.  I'm looking to get 110-140 grains up front and trying to figure out ways to do it and still have a tough broadhead set up.  With 125 gr up front I get a 530 grain arrow which will work.
I added a 30 grain shrink tube under the feathers to stiffen the arrow a little and add weight and I'm happy with how that is working out.  Now I just have to figure out the business end of the arrow.  By swaging the point end, I'm able to use a beefier, stronger broadhead.  I'd just like to find a good strong 5/16 broadhead as it looks better on the small shaft then the 11/32 heads.  So far I'm leaning toward the Zwickey eskilite but I can't get used to the idea of having that light of a broadhead.  It seems kinda wimpy, although I can get it in 2 or 4 blade, which is a plus.  I also like the fact that they have a triple laminated tip, are readily available, and made in MN.  
Thanks for listening to my ramblings.  It's kinda fun to play with something new, I guess.  Chad

We currently have the Tusker Spirit, 5/16" and .035 at 100 grains.  But we have some exciting news on this exact topic, we will soon have some "Super Spirit" Tuskers, 120 grains, a full .050 thick and SINGLE bevel right or left.

Been testing the Super Spirits for a few months now, I like 'em.  One of my buddies who has also been field testing them for me shot a buck and a groundhog with them too, he has had good results also.

They fly like little lasers!

Chad I might still have a few test heads laying around if you want to try one let me know.

Tim

[Holm-Made]

Yes please.

PM sent Chad.......

[Biathlonman]

Let us know when these are available.  I'd like to give them a try.

What Fletcher said x2. Works great for me.
