Hello all.  I understand that depending on your fletching configuration there is going to be a tendency for your pts to unscrew ( kinda like a power tool arbor ).  But due to budget concerns, re-fletching or buying new arrows is not an option at this time.  Any tips for helping my field pts stay tight?  Purple loctite maybe?  Thanks again

I've used string wax on threads that seems to help.

A little bit of string wax.  Tighten down with pliers just a bit.  Mine never come unscrewed until I want them to.

Life is a whole lot easier when you just plow around the stump.

I literally snugged them up after every shot until I put some of those little rubber gaskets on each of them. You know the ones the make it so you can twist your broadhead to a certain angle on the shaft?  Not a single one has come loose since then.

The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.

I took a plastic bag(like a grocery sack) and just push it into the shaft threads with the male threads on the point and screw them in.  Then just tear away the bag and do another.  Never had my judos move after that?  I rarely shoot field points because all my practice is roving but I am sure it will work the same.

x5 on string wax and tighten with pliers. I shoot rt wing and they'll still come loose, but don't if done as advised, they never do. Even need pliers to start unscrewing if you want to.

String wax works well if you don't live in Texas where it has stayed over 100 almost all summer.  The plastic bag in the threads or a little Elmers like has been mentioned above both work well.

Just because you are passionate about something, doesn't mean you don't suck at it.

Been quite successful using string wax.

I am not frugal with the application, then screw in the point, remove, then re-apply string wax, re-screw-in the point. Simple and consitent fix.
