Title: STOS broadheads
Post by: Nathan Killen on March 12, 2011, 10:10:00 PM
Is there anywhere or anyone that sells these heads with screw in adaptors already in ?

You would likely need to just call whoever you want to buy them from and have them install the adapters for you.  I don't know of anyone that sells them ready to screw in.

The ones that I installed awhile back had the most accurate ferrules that I've seen on a broadhead.Every one spun perfectly with no tweaking on my part.

I would recommend mounting them yourself also.Just clean the adapter and ferrule with alcohol or acetone,apply glue and install.I mount my adapter in an arrow,glue and put the broadhead on,twisting to make sure there is good glue contact.I like to orient all mine the same-horizontal,so I line them that way then press the point into a block of oak,cross grain,so it doesn't stick.After that,double check the spin and set aside to dry.

You can use hot melt but I use a good epoxy like JB Weld.That gives a lot of working time.Let them cure overnight before shooting.

I wouldn't buy broadheads with the adapter already glued in.. I want the ability to both orient them and get them spinning true.. Do it yourself!

STOS are topshelf !

I did these 145gr Stos myself and they spin and fly straight. Not hard to do. Go ahead and give it a whirl.   :thumbsup:

I use 11/32" screw in aluminum long broadhead adapters. A 36 grain Zwickey long broadhead adapter and 42 grain Magnus long broadhead adapters. Just glue the STOS to them.

Nathan, I used the 11/32 aluminum screw in short adapter from 3R. They work great and got me to the head weight I wanted.

"Thanks ! Any particular adapter that's better than others ?"

It really just depends on how much weight your setup calls for but at least,I would use long adapters whenever possible,for more gluing surface and better alignment.

You can get a couple different weight aluminum adapters and steel ones in 75,100 and 125 grs.

Just work out your tuning with field tipped arrows and then try to match your broadhead/adapter weight to your field points.Then double check by shooting the broadheads.
