      in reply to: shaft sleeve fit problem with Tuffheads #10360

      Why not just use a footed wood shaft and not worry about the sleeve?

        in reply to: THE WEAK LINK #16385

        I shoot CE Heritage 350’s out of a 65# recurve. My finished arrows weigh just over 800 gr. with velocity 140-145 fps. I use 100gr. brass glue on/glue in adapters and 160 gr, field points,. Both adapter and point glued in with 5 minute epoxy. If I hit steel, it will bend/break the adapter. I’m thinking of abandoning the weight tube, using JB Weld, and epoxying a 100 gr .243 bullet behind the brass BH adapter.

          A first rate outfit with excellent customer service. Their recurves and longbows are a bargain.

            Idaho also has long OTC seasons for any elk.

                  in reply to: Weight tubes????? #8778

                  Glue them in with Gorilla Glue. When exposed to moisture,it expands as it hardens and will hold the weight tubes tight. No rattle and no weight tube blow back when stumping and hitting hard targets. Place a few drops of GG inside the shaft, either end, and rotate the moisened weight tube as you push it into the shaft. Apply a few drops of additional GG every 3-4″ as you rotate the weight tube into the shaft. Obviously you need to account for the lenght of the BH and nock adaptors when cutting the weight tube before glueup.

                    in reply to: Glue for Judo Points #8766

                    I have tried hot melt and had simular results. Now I use 5 Minute Epoxy for everything. It is heat reversable and forms a very strong bond. Be sure to clean all surfaces inside and out with acetone prior to glueup to remove any existing lubricant or mold release and insure a good bond.

                      As long as you are getting good arrow flight with razor sharp broadheads,and stay within your own accuracy limits, it will be a fine combo.
