WINGNUTTERS!!!!!!!!!!
« on: February 22, 2007, 07:19:00 PM »
Everyone knows that a "wingnutter" is a bunny stoppin' son of a gun   :bigsmyl:

I was messing around in the "hardware" room at work last night and here's what I found out.....

If you take a 1 inch long #8-32 flat head screw,rub the threads full of bees wax,put that screw through a 5/16th wingnut,insert it into the threaded insert of your arrows and screw it down TIGHT!!!!!

OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH YEAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!   :bigsmyl:

You've got yourself one "state of the art" bunny bustin' carbon "WINGNUTTER"!!!!!   :thumbsup:

HEY HEY HEY!!!  Let's not be heating up wingnuts and screwing me on.  Dang that just ain't right.

LOL


I tried it and found that the shaft tended to break right behind the wingnut do to tourque.

Scott made those big washers with a wingnut. Check out the devasting hits I got on rabbits the other day..Pink = 2 Rabbits.

Those rabbits look like they got hit with hammers!

Well, from what I read, you're not gonna get screwed up unless you are a 5/16" wingnut.
Still worried?  :saywhat:

Joe,

The head I made was like Chuck is describing -

8-32 x 1" pan head screw
Wingnut
Fender Washer
8-32 nut below washer to keep it all together

Comes out at 210 grains -perfect on a carbon

Works great in the deep snow with the washer - prevents from plowing too deep.

Why not just glue the wing nut to a broadhead adapter, anyone tried this?

Been making these since 2003. Work great with alum arrows and put the smack down on bushytails. They fly great they fly great even with that wingnut riding up front.<><

Hey Chuck,
Those were all I carried at the bunny hunt, wished you'd of seen 'em on Saturday. Darn, the sure made my carbons and aluminums fly well...

...course, wish I'd have connected on a bunny with one of 'em...  ;)
