Do all broadhead adapters have the same screw?

Can 11/32" adapters fit onto a 5/16" arrow? Is the "screw" end the same?

I might want to try big broadheads on my 5/16 arrows, but they don't seem to be listed in 5/16.

Frank, I'm not sure but think they may protrude from the shaft end. I think? thread size would be the same.
A grinder to taper may give you a better fit.
I could be momentarily embarrassed!!!!!!!
Possibly for my spelling. Sometimes you'd never guess that I was raised in a Catholic school.

The threads are the same, so field points, blunts and broadhead adapters fit into the same insert. Now that I have said that, someone will know about an exception.

Have not tried the 11/32 in a 5/16, it would leave a ledge making it harder to pull out of some targets. They use to sell a small reducer for the broadhead, so it fits the 5/16 adapter. Check 3Rivers or Kustom King.

Frank,all the adaptors and inserts interchange.I use 11/32" adaptors in all my 5/16" arrows.My arrows are the same diameter as yours,2016's and Gold Tips,5575 and 7595's.So little protrudes beyond the shaft diameter and the rear edge of the adaptor is slightly rounded,so it causes no problem removing them from the target.

Using glue on heads and 11/32" adaptors,allows you to achieve almost any weight you want to match your setup.You can further fine tune point weight by adding a few lead shot in the nose of the adaptor or filing off a little of the adaptor nose to reduce weight a few grains.

If you should happen to need a 75 gr adaptor,only use the Premium ones sold by 3Rivers,Braveheart and I believe,Kustom King.The old style have a weak spot.I don't use the aluminum adaptors myself as the steel are stronger and help with FOC.

This is a Gold Tip shaft,standard aluminum insert and 100 gr steel adaptor.
