Glue on Broadhead adapters

[swampsnyper]

I've used the same steel adapters you linked above in 125g and honestly all I do is push the broadhead on and spin it about a full turn before the glue sets. 9 times out of ten it comes out square. The occasional time it wasn't I just did it again and it came out square the second time. I'm just checking square by spinning them on a table point down and looking for wobble so they might not be perfect but they are close enough that I can't blame a poor shot on them.

Same here. I hear the broadhead a little and the adaptor. Wipe hot glue on it and spin it on. You can dip in water to cool quicker to spin check. Then peel the overflow of glue off with your fingernail. Peels off cleaner if it’s cool.

Exactly how I do it also.

I just used as an example....I guess I just be patent and wait for some screw in to come back on the market....I have arrows built with inserts/outsert already so I not changing or building different... I lubricate the treads on my friend tips with bow wax and they don't get loose.... Before I started doing that they would loosen sometimes. I have right wing feathers on my arrows

I've used and continue to use bowstring wax on all my connections, I don't like aluminum and steel being together "dry" and it just keeps tips from unscrewing. I also use it on my bowsight and quiver threads. Anytime I'm putting steel into aluminum I like a buffer if possible. I suppose changing out alloy steel with stainless may mitigate some of my concerns with corrosion.

You can also dab a little hot glue right above the threads then wipe it off before it hardens. Then let cool. It will leave a film of dry hot glue and add a little friction when you thread in a head preventing them coming loose with vibration.

I was thinking more along the lines of getting some zwickey glue on heads and installing adapter like this

Is that not how it works? Install adapter into broadhead to make a screw in broadhead?

Thats what I,m using. 170 gr Zwickey and 100 gr steel adaptor. Glue adaptor to head and spin,turn, while glue is soft to get it true.

Thanks guys....I give it a shot... Seems like a good way to "custom" broadhead weight and easier on the wallet....
