    JSTAMLIN Thanks for calling attention to the 75 grain titanium adapter that we offer on our web site.

    This adapter is made from grade 5 titanium which has twice the tensile strength of steel. All titanium adapters are not equal …lessor grades provide lightness but not much more strength than mild steel. Grade five about as high as you can go in toughness and still machine it…

    I have done extensive testing using the 300 TH and this adapter and have not had a failure. I have others that are testing it also and have had no negative reports.

    This adapters has given me more encouragement than any thing I have experimented with.The bending problem has plagued me and others for several years it is a common problem. I believe the grade 5 titanium is the answer.

    I am in the process of having a adapter/insert for a 5/16 arrow made from grade 5 titanium tentative that will weigh 200 grains but will hopefully be 3 inches long so it would be an adapter/insert/internal footing. i am excited about that hopefully it will test well……
