Title: EFA Hood Size?
Post by: Deadbolt on June 22, 2009, 10:41:00 AM
Sorry to have to ask but I won't have access to a real computer until next week and can't view the dimensions on my phone but I want to order one.

I was wondering if anyone knew the sizes of the hoods? I'm hinking of switching over to WW's and want to make sure they will all fit.

I have the old original and it was tough to fit some broadheads iin there properly.  Any info would be great guys!

I also use Deadheads, snuffers, and stingers on my shafts.

Also are there different size grippers for alum and carbons?

You'll want to go for the Maxi hood. I can get 4 big deadheads or 4 160gn snuffers in there (With a little thought & planning!)

As far as I know, yes, there are 2 different size grippers. Go for the smallest. You can still get the bigger carbon shafts in there & the small dimeters fit perfectly. If you shoot the MFX size shafts, they'll rattle in the big gripper.

Robs right. I have a 3 arrow quiver, and my MFX shafts fit excellent in the gripper.

Is the maxi the same size as the jumbo 1? I like the two tone color and design.

EFA lists a Jumbo I and a Jumbo II. I don't see anything about a Maxi. They don't show sizes, but as I recall I could just squeeze three WW broadheads and a judo into my standard Cherokee. It is at my son's house right now or I'd check it for you. He borrowed it until he got his Linx quiver.

If my memory serves me correctly, I had a time getting the WW shoved in far enough to keep all of the blades covered. I would guess either the Jumbo I or II would work for you though. Shoot 2fletch an email and he can probably help you decide.

30coup they offer both versions. And I want a small version but I wanna make sure I can cover them fully. I'm guessing the jumbo 1 would do.

We make 3 standard sizes of the Cherokee and Navajo hoods and also a larger size (on request) called the Chief. It's designed to handle 4 of the largest heads like the El Grande Grizzlies.

The hood sizes are: standard, J-I, J-II, and then the Chief.

For dimensions look at the foam replacement section on the accessories page of the website.

We make 3 different size grippers. The standard size will fit from about 18/64" to 22/64" shafts.
For 23/64" and larger we have the large gripper.

If it has to do with bow quivers we probably make it. If we don't already make it, then we probably will make it. If you think of something that we ought to make, then suggest it and sooner or later we will probably do it.

The dimensions were not given as I said. Miscue with the site manager. The foam dimensions are:
Std  - 2.5 wide x 2 thick  x  2.25 deep
J-I  - 2.75 wide x 2 thick  x  2.5 deep
J-II - 3.30 wide x 2 thick  x  2.75 deep
Chief- 3.60 wide x 2.25 thick x 3.12 deep.
Thanks

Thanks a ton everyone for all the help now I'm deciding on my design.

My bow is 58" Kanati charcoal grey/black/red accents on the riser/limb tips so I'm thinking of going with a black hood with the charcoal face but can't decide if I want black or red lacing on it. Black would blend better but the red would go with the accents of the bow. Oh decisions!!!!
