Title: Glue on glue in adapters
Post by: BUCKY on February 26, 2014, 10:13:00 PM
I'm thinking of switching to this system instead of screw in. Are they really stronger then screw ins? Lets here from some of you who use this system.

I have used the 75 grain brass ones for the past few years.  I really like them and feel they are stronger than the screw in adapters...never did like them much.  I think you'll like 'em.

GIGO adapters are all I use. They are very strong and convenient. Make some arrows with them and go shoot them. You will be impressed.

I do prefer the glue on glue in adapters.  Then foot the carbon arrow.  Much stronger.

I wish the "glue in the shaft" part was longer for a more secure bond.

I use them on 1918s, there is about a 20 grain difference between them and using a screw in broad head adapter with the aluminum pieces.  In forty five years I have never bent either in the process of killing deer.

Sometimes the best choice isnt the most popular.

I believe its a stronger setup also, I use them in my 2018 & 2020. I mostly shoot wood so all BH are glue on anyway.

vintage makes them for Grizzly sticks and they will also fit AD shafts. Same diameter inserts.

I use them for moose after haven a screwin break off.traditionarcherysolutions.com has them in alum 79gr and 304 stainless 220gr.Long glue surface with screwin to add extra weight.I use them in Gold tip carbon.I like to foot the arrow on the inside.These were more poplar back in the 1960s.

I shoot aluminum with glue on adapter.  Like it better than an aluminum BH adapter.
