Hey again,
I posted a thread about achieving EFOC with Gold tip shafts.
Now another question is this

I want to use the grizzly 190grn broadheads.

I put one together with an adapter I had that matches the diameter of the shaft. Of course the adapter is small for the broadhead ferral so it slides down inside quite a bit.

Should I use an 11/32 adapter that fits the broadhead? If so does the fact that the broadhead/adapter combo are larger than the shaft?

Or what ather alternatives are out there?

First time messing with EFOC and I want to use a single bevel as well.

Thanks
Jason

If you can get proper alignment and don't have length clearance issues, the ones you have will work fine.  The 11/32" will fit better but are not really necessary.  The Grizzly is really closer to 21/64" so they don't sit flush on a  11/32" either, there is usually a bit of adapter showing at the bottom but that has no effect on performance.

The adapter and broadhead being larger than the shaft is a good thing that will enhance penetration.

About the only alternative I can think of is the glue in Insert/Adapters but they are 11/32" as well, except the lightweight aluminum one.
