New Talon Glue-Ons and a Deal for TradGangers
« on: March 30, 2010, 12:59:00 AM »
Hey all, just wanted to post a picture of our new glue-on Talon small game heads.  They are 150 grains, and we had them made with an extra amount of space in the tip so that extra weights could be added in the form of lead fishing weights.  The width of the hole is 13/64ths of an inch.  I put one on a wood shaft today that I tapered for 3/4 of an inch and was able to add just over 30 grains to the head.  We built them this way so you could play around with weights without having to buy different heads.  Feedback on how that system works would be greatly appreciated.  They are just as tough as the original screw-in head.  Here's a pic.

 

As a way of saying thanks to all of the Tradgang members who've been so good to me over the past seven years I'd like to offer these heads, and the screw-in models as well, to Tradgang members on a buy two, get one free basis through April 15th.

The way to do this will be simply order a two-pack on our website and then post your member number in the shipping instructions and I'll send you three instead of two.

Hope they work out well for you all.  Thanks for looking.

Stan

Wish there was a smal game season open to put these to good use.

With a 125 steel adapter, do you think there is still enough space to add 25 more grains of lead?

As a tip, on other heads where I had the space, I've used solder quite a bit because it doesn't upset the balance like lead shot will if you don't get it in there just right.

Jeff, yes I was, and it was raining hard yesterday.  But, Oregonians don't mind playing in the rain.  Everything, truly, is better than I expected, can't thank you enough.

Hi JC, thanks for the tip.  I had the heads made this way with you in mind.  I do believe you will be able to get 25 grains of additional weight in the tip.  If you can't let me know and I'll make things right.

Hey all, was asked in a PM if you could buy a three-pack and have a fourth head thrown in as well.  Heck yeah, don't know why I didn't think of that.

I want to clarify something. Do you mean that if I order the 2pack of 150 grain glue on, you include a 3rd head? Or if I order 2 2-packs of the 2 heads you include a 3rd 2-pack?

Thank you!

God bless,Mudd

Hi Mudd, love the avatar!  What I meant was whatever pack you order, I'll add another head.  I don't want to have people buying more heads than they want just to get a deal, just want to say thanks to people who do purchase some heads.
