adapters for swaged aluminums
« on: February 20, 2010, 11:00:00 AM »
Does anybody make an adapter from 5/16 to 23/64 so you can shoot a 11/32 or 23/64 tip on an arrow that swages out to 5/16 like a 2018? Thanks, Greg

Not that I know of.Don't see why you would need it.11/32 or 23/64(hunting points) would be larger in diameter than your 5/16 shaft so it wouldn't hurt anything.As for field points,why wouldn't you just use a 5/16?A larger tip than your shaft would pull out of the target harder.

Killshot, you are pretty limited weightwise on 5/16 tips. I wanted to use a 160 grain tip. I don't like the way the broadheads fit on the 5/16 arrow.

I did not know that broad heads came with different sizes?  You can buy field points in all three sizes.  Where can i buy 2018s that are swagged?  To what kill shot said, i know back when i shot 3ds you might get in trouble for shooting a head into a McKensey target with a head diameter than your shaft.  Too much damage to the target.  Sorry, if i am not much help.

I maybe don't understand what you are looking for, but you mentioned 2018s. If you are talking screw in points, 3 Rivers has them all the way up to 250gr. for 5/16". Regardless, they would have about any adaptor available. I don't know what kind of broadhead you are set on, but some fit the 5/16" shafts very well. Most of the 3 blades fit well including heavy weights, and a Ace 2 blade broadhead on an adapter fits real well. The shaft fits just inside the ferrule of the broadhead.
If it's in your way, move it.

Rightminded you can buy swaged arrows from the footed shaft. Buckrack, a swaged arrow would take a glue on tip
