Aluminum. Broad head adapters. The weak link!!!!

[Bullfrog 1]

I find is something breaks on my Arrows it's the aluminum adapter. Steal weighs too much for me. Any suggestions. This is on. Arbon.

Sorry meant. Carbon

Glue-in-glue-on aluminum adaptors with glue-on broadheads -- much tougher than the screw-in adaptors in my experience.

3Rivers has them, as I am sure other vendors/sponsors must.

I have switched to VPA's for everything but squirrels. Problem solved.  :D  

You may try footing with a small peice of aluminum and letting the footing hang over a hair. Mates up my Zwickey's nicely and puts more impact on the footing. File as needed for perfect alignment.

I'm in the same boat..was going to use glue-in-glue-on aluminum adaptors with glue-on broadheads, but can't find any that will fit MFX shafts.

What Joseph said!

Last year I shot razor caps and didn't have a problem. I like original woodsmans and Simmons but that insert scares me. I never broke one on game but have stump shooting many times. The insert actually breaks inside the shaft on a HIT/mfx set up.

I used them on the Simmon's Tigersharks they broke only when I hit the spine on deer. Since then they made the Tigershark as a screw in.LCH

I would try the titanium adaptors that Abowyer is now making. You get the strength of steel with the weight of alluminum.

At the price of gold?

I don't mean to start an argument, but titanium adapters have to be pretty pricey I would bet.

I'll grant that aluminum adapters can break, but I would also wager that thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of game animals have died without complaint due to aluminum, carbon, or fiberglass arrows tipped with a vast array of broadheads glued to aluminum adapters. Fred Bear alone probably killed hundreds of animals with them. I think sometimes we make too much ado about things that really make very little difference...especially during the off-season. Make sure they are screwed in tight, and aluminum adapters are actually pretty darn stout.

Okay, I'm done now.

The corner between the shaft and the shoulder seems to be the weak point on adapters or screw in heads.
Missed a deer with a Muzzy this fall and buried it in a tree.. Muzzy might be bad to the bone but pure trash against an oak.

Great solution right here!
