You just use the glue on adaptors for screw in field points and broadheads. The aluminum ones arent heavy enough to mess with your spine.

Merry Christmas!!!

That is a great question. Good luck,I don't think anything like that exsist's. I bet you'll have to have some fabricated somehow. Make certain they stay on!! those screens are'nt cheap.   :saywhat:  rat'

I used the glue on adaptors for a winter league we used to shoot. Just consider the adaptor weight when you choose your point. The ones Lance shows above will work fine. A word of caution, techno hunt can be addictive. Enjoy >>>--------->

One note - you have to use epoxy or some other "cold" glue.  Heat will destroy the reflective ring on the backside shoulder the camera/sensor looks for.

I've been using mine for bunny points because I can't get them off and haven't shot at a DART equiped range in years.

As I recall that was enough as each shooter fired five arrows per "set".

The problem was, the screen was at 18 yards or so.  For an instinctive archer it's just shooting at huge deer at 18 yards or tiny deer at 18 yards.  Zero use in range estimation.  Fun, but messed with my head.

And there were maybe 40 scenarios that randomly cycled so after a while you knew when to wait or shoot because you knew what was coming next.  In one scene a brown bear comes running across a meadow and if you took the "80 yards away" shot when he first appeared and reared up it was easier than the close cover shots.  I guess it would be like shooting a 700fps recurve to hit a bear at 80 yards vs. up close at 20 yards (with the arrow traveling the same 18 yards to the screen).

Still, it was a blast with several friends involved.

The range I go to has several different dvd's it runs through, I want to say over 1000 scenes if not even more. There are predators, big game, small game, turkeys, and whitetail, so lots of variety too.

We have a great Time Charlie, but it never fails, I always have a "no register" shot and would use a 6th arrow.

I take my nephew to it and we have a lot of fun. I agree about the yardage thing. It takes a bit to adjust.
