Brandon...most of the guys/gals around this site are going heavier and heavier on the front end. Just out of curiosity, why only 100 grains?

thats what head i use. my arrows are heavy 525grs. out of a 44# bow. but it paper tunes and bareshafts perfect with 100gr points. and i want to keep my arrows long b/c i have the gaps just the way i want them for my point on distance.

i saw a picture of a nice single bevel in the last issue of TB magazine, if you cut it out it may way around 100 grains, lol

:biglaugh:just kidding

bmb,

What kind of shafts are you using. The reason I ask is that, with the right insert, you may be able to use a 100-grain glue-on head and keep everything the same weight.

so i take it no one knows where or if they make a single bevel in 100gr.?

im using 2018s at 31"

Boone the Hunter · March 11, 2009, 11:05:00 PM

all jokes aside, i shot 2018's at 32'' with my first bow but i managed to shoot 150 grain heads, i don't know of any 100's might have to bump up to 125's with a cone glue on adapter to go single bevel

Tusker makes a glue on 100 grain model that you can get in right or left bevel. If you took a file to it and lowered the bevel some, put a tanto tip on it and used a short adapter you would be very close to 100 grains.

Like Jason said above, I believe you can get tapered inserts for the 2018 that would replace your screw on inserts and allow you to use glue on heads as another option.

ok. so where would i find these tapered inserts? i think this combo would get me there. thanks in advance.

3rivers has the inserts

Not all the guys are going heavy and heavier! I like my 125's and they're fast and straight!

James Wrenn · March 12, 2009, 06:40:00 AM

The blade will be thin enough on a 100gn broadhead it would be a waste of time to worry about a single bevel on them.Just get a Stinger or Buzzcut and save yourself some headache. jmo

Molson · March 12, 2009, 08:25:00 AM

The Tusker 100 grain blade is just as thick as the 160. They make a really nice single bevel. But they are 5/16", not 11/32, so the glue on inserts may not work, which would leave the short adapter as your only option.

Kustom King would always be my choice for getting the inserts or adapters.

I'm not going to heavy heads either, so that's two of three of use here 8^).

bmb · March 12, 2009, 06:47:00 PM

yeah as long as my setup works like it has so far. im not changing point weight around. just trying to maximize my current setups potential. i found 100gr single bevels at alaska bowhunting supply...wow!! is all i can say
