Are the adapters on the screw-in woodsmans glued on pretty good? or would it be better to buy the glue-on and use an adapter with my own  glue?

Use your own and spin test before you place on your arrow.
We do not rise to the occasion.  We fall to our level of training.

They are glued on very well. I wanted to remove one, and it was a challenge.
If it's in your way, move it.

I traded for some Woodsmans online and didn't realize they were screw in. No problem I thought till I tried to get the adaptor out. I heated it up considerably to remove it. I reckon it was epoxy or somethin'.

Apex Predator

Yeah, it takes some work with a torch to get them out.

i'm a fan of woodsmans and i always use the glue-ons, then i can use different adapter weights to tailor the foc.  currently using 125gr glue-on ww's with 125gr steel adapters and a 100 grain brass insert - 350gr up front, 585gr arrow, 29.7% foc, ooooo they fly so nice.  :cool:

Thanks for all the help guys. I think I'll go with the screw-ins because I know 150 gr. is good for my setup.

Make sure they spin true......a couple of mine didn't.

Smallwood

mount the adapters yourself

Steel

I buy the 125gr no adapter and add a 75gr steel adapter for a 200gr head.

I do the same as Steel and beleive the that the steel adapter is a big advantage.

What glue do you use? I,m using some aluminum adapters in mine.

slow set epoxy, 30-45 minute.  a candle flame will break the bond if need be.  

don't use 5 minute epoxy - not waterproof.

i do the same as steel, and hedgetree, but i use archery hot melt glue to mount them.
make sure you cut about 1/8" off of the needle tip, to prevent curling. i just use a set of wire cutters.

Thanks Rob was gonna get them glued up this weekend so I'm glad this thread got started. Thanks again Rob.

I like to do my own with all my Bheads

I acetone the adapters, and make sure my fingers are clean as well so I don't transfer any body oil to the adapters screwing them in.

I sand the inside of the furrel and then acetone it with a Q-tip and get it clean.  If the inside of the furrel has paint in it, I acetone 1st then sand and acetone again.

I screw the adapter onto a shaft, and use 5 hour epoxy(2 hour will suffice)...wipe off any excess around the base unless it an even fine bead and then I leave it.  Make sure its seated, and spins true, and let cure.
