Title: adapters for swaged aluminums
Post by: GregD on February 20, 2010, 11:00:00 AM
Does anybody make an adapter from 5/16 to 23/64 so you can shoot a 11/32 or 23/64 tip on an arrow that swages out to 5/16 like a 2018? Thanks, Greg

Not that I know of.Don't see why you would need it.11/32 or 23/64(hunting points) would be larger in diameter than your 5/16 shaft so it wouldn't hurt anything.As for field points,why wouldn't you just use a 5/16?A larger tip than your shaft would pull out of the target harder.

Killshot, you are pretty limited weightwise on 5/16 tips. I wanted to use a 160 grain tip. I don't like the way the broadheads fit on the 5/16 arrow.

I did not know that broad heads came with different sizes?  You can buy field points in all three sizes.  Where can i buy 2018s that are swagged?  To what kill shot said, i know back when i shot 3ds you might get in trouble for shooting a head into a McKensey target with a head diameter than your shaft.  Too much damage to the target.  Sorry, if i am not much help.

I maybe don't understand what you are looking for, but you mentioned 2018s. If you are talking screw in points, 3 Rivers has them all the way up to 250gr. for 5/16". Regardless, they would have about any adaptor available. I don't know what kind of broadhead you are set on, but some fit the 5/16" shafts very well. Most of the 3 blades fit well including heavy weights, and a Ace 2 blade broadhead on an adapter fits real well. The shaft fits just inside the ferrule of the broadhead.

Rightminded you can buy swaged arrows from the footed shaft. Buckrack, a swaged arrow would take a glue on tip
