Title: Sweetland Adapter ???? for you Vintage guys
Post by: twigflicker on October 21, 2010, 04:07:00 PM
Quick question... I have a buddy that's hunting with a '60 Kodiak and Sweetland Forgewood arrows this fall... the Bear Razorheads are mounted to what looks like an aluminum adapter... Are these adapters still available? And if so where would a fellow find them...

Also, is the adapter tapered for the shaft or straight in...

Thanks ahead for any info!

I knew one of you guys would know... thanks bowdoc...

Do most guys just just a 5/16 broadhead then to keep it from being wider than the shaft... I would think that would tear a target all to pieces...

It does wear out targets-some more than others. Joe St Charles always had a bunch of these listed on that unmentionable auction site. I never use the 'Headshrinkers' and rarely shoot targets with my Sweetlands,
