Title: 225 gr screw ins?
Post by: red44 on February 13, 2009, 02:51:00 PM
Anybody know if such a thing exists? I know 3 rivers has 200s and 250s, but a fellow is looking for something inbetween, and to use on a skinny shaft. Thanks.

Im sure they are around somewhere. You could always use the weight washers(brass) to get to your desired weight, if finding them is a problem.

I use the 100g screw in adapters and glue on a 125 magnus.

Sorry you said skinny shafts.

Haven't seen any 225 gr. points,I made mine with 100 gr. steel adapters with 125 gr. point. but these are 11/32".For Axis/MFX I use 100 gr. insert with 125 gr. point on skinny shaft.Those 200 and 250 gr. points were designed for 5/16" diameter shafts.The heaviest point designed to fit Axis/MFX is 145 gr. without footing the shaft then 5/16" points will fit more flush.

Depending on the head you like, you might need to get creative.  For me it was a 145 Eclipse, 75g steel adapter, and 5g brass washer.  These were for a "fat" shaft heritage 250 though...... I believe there are "transition rings" to make it a smoother transition - sorry, I don't shoot skinny shafts.

You could also look into the PDP weight system, adding weight to the back of the insert (not bonded to the shaft) to bump a lighter head.

I shoot 130g stos,on 100g adapters,I grind down the 250g field tips,to 230g,takes only seconds.I also shoot them on beman mfx classics with no problems.
