I was planning on using 160gr tips to fine tune my set-up but I can't seem to find a vendor that carries them. What's up with that ??

The difference between 150 and 160 is so minute, vendors can't spend money on such small differences.

That's understandable but there's a lot of difference between 145 and the 170.I've been shooting wood but decided to give carbon a try and I like them. I had figured that I would use 160gr field points and then a 145gr broadhead would be just right but I didn't realize there ain't no such thing as 160 gr screw-in points. Oh well.  :knothead:

Thats all I use is the 160 screw in points.  You can order them from DMI archery supply or simmons broadhead company. How many do you need? I can probably send you a few to try out. If your interested send me a PM. I owe you anyway for that leather you sent me. Scott

Kustom King carries 160 screw-in field points in their catalog.  They are a sponsor here.  Just go to their website and look under points 8^).

A 125 grain glue on field point with a full length aluminum insert will get you pretty close.

Lots of options, including the PDP weight system, and 5g washers.... likely you can dial it in to a point it won't matter.

145 grain screws with 3 5gr brass washers.  Is there a 160 grain screw in out there that isn't a glue on head on an insert?? dino

125 glue on w/ 42g thread adapter... could probably grind a tad bit off the end if you realy wanted to be exact

My bad, Dino.  I was looking at glue-ons..Duh!

They have 145 and 175 screw in.

Zephyr has both a 150 and a 160 grain screw in.

Simmons has them, $3.50 dz. You have to click on "products" at the top of the page.

Jeff,
Aren't those Zephyrs glue on heads on broadhead adapters?  I just can think of a 160 grain screw in broadhead that isn't a combination of a glue on broadhead and a adapter.  Thats why I would be doing what Bob suggested.  Adapter with a glue on 125 grain field point to make a 160. dino

No, the ones from simmons are one piece machined steel just like any standard field point, been using them for at least 12-14 years now.
