TTT any new info on the titanium adapters or glue in/ glue on adapters for AD Trads?

[JimB]

James,Tuffhead has the 75 gr,grade 5,titanium ,screw-in adapters listed for sale on their site.

[JamesKerr]

Thanks Jim, I tried to look at their site earlier but for some reason my computer wouldn't open their page now it's working fine. Still would like to know if the glue in/ glue on adapters for the 11/32" shafting will work for AD trads?

[JimB]

I don't know.I've looked and looked and can't find a dimension (I.D.) for those AD's anywhere.Just measuring one insert would give the answer but I don't have any.Can anyone measure an insert?

I suspect,the AD's are going to be somewhere in between 5/16" and 11/32".

JimB, AD inserts are 9/32"

[JimB]

Thanks Daniel.That would equal .28125".Most 5/16" carbon shafts take about a .245-.246 diameter insert.

[JamesKerr]

I can confirm the AD trads inserts are 9/32" equal to .28125" diameter as is the inner diameter of the shafting point end. I just measured one of mine with a pair of electronic calipers.

[JimB]

Well,that's one part of the equation.Hopefully Joe Furlong will see this and can say if any of the adapters will work or maybe someone knows what the actual diameter of the Grizzly Stik inserts is.Tuffhead's 11/32" diameter adapters are sized for them.I believe the Grizzly Stik inside diameters will be smaller,maybe .25 but don't know exactly.

[JamesKerr]

I know on 3Rivers website if you look at the grizzly stick brass adapters someone asked if any would fit the AD's and according to the folks at 3Rivers the inserts for the Alaskan's fit great. I talked to Joe earlier and he did not know the adapters measurements offhand but told me he would check on it. Hopefully they will work.

[JimB]

I didn't know that.I'm confused though because 3Rivers makes a specific size aluminum adapter for AD Trads and a different one for the Grizzly Stiks.

[JamesKerr]

Here is the link to where 3Rivers says the regular screw in brass inserts will work  http://www.3riversarchery.com/Product.asp?show=faq&c=3&s=261&p=342&i=6931X#full
Still can't find anything though on the glue in/glue on.

[JamesKerr]

Just got off the phone with Joe Furlong and he said if the screw in inserts will fit so will his glue in/ glue on inserts.
