160 grain field tip
« on: January 20, 2009, 12:58:00 PM »
Guys I can't find a 160 grain screw in field tip but I am finding a lot of 160 grain broadheads.  I have not checked Custom King yet I can't from work.  where can I get some?

3 Rivers carries 145 and 175 grain screw in tips.  15 grains is probably close enough that most guys wouldn't be able to tell the difference.  But to match them up closer get a pack of the brass washers that they sell which go behind the point.

Maybe I am blind but I still don't see screw in I see a 175.  I see glue on ones.  Is a gold tip 3555 a 5/16, 11/32,23/64?  Maybe 175 will fly right with a 160 I don't know.  Maybe 175 does not quite way 175?

Glue a 125 grain glue on onto a long aluminium screw in adaptor and you are there.

Sorry about my previous post saying they had 160 grain tips at 3 Rivers.  I meant to type 175 - just a brain malfunction on my part.  Looks like there are other options for you to order just what you need.  That's good to know!

I used my Dremel to remove some material from my 175's a little at a time until I reached my preferred weight of 165 grains.

You can also chuck them up in a drill and use a file to remove material. plus you can re-taper the shoulder for better transition to shaft if your shootin skinny carbons
