Steel Glue-On Field Points Review

have somebody that handloads weigh them.

You can go to w 100 grain point but it is going to fly differently than arrows with a 125 grain point.

The best answer would be to tune your shafts to your set up first.  Point weight varies it affects based on spine and the relationship of the two Sent from my iPhone

You should maintain the same weight for all your shooting, including field points and broad heads for consistency.    

The weight of the tip has more to do with the overall weight of the arrow and the length of your draw.There is a calculator on arrow making on the 3rivers site that can give you a starting point for tip weight selection.If you are interested you might try getting a test kit of tips and making a few arrows to do some paper tuning. There are tutorials online about paper tuning and it can really increase your accuracy to sync your arrows to your bow. I hope that helps a bit. Chris G. -- 

Not if you are only going to shoot less than 40 yards or so. If you lighten the point by 25 gns you may have to lengthen the shaft by 1/2 inch. Keep it simple and stay with 125 is my opinion.

I do know that the field points are on order but I do not have a definite delivery date .

You can leave a note in the order instructions box during checkout.

There are different sizes of tapers. We have a 5/16, 11/32, and 23/64. You will need to match the size to the arrows you are mount these points too.

Any taper will do, for they all produce the same result either on wood or bamboo shafts. Just mind having a shaft with a similar or slightly smaller diameter, and a taper of the according size for best results. Also, mind that nocks and points have different angles, so use the according input of your tool. Will not work properly on fiber shafts.

1.394" from back of point to the very end of tip. Outside Diameter .373"

Hi, The outside diameter is 21/64 or .32 inches and total length is 1 17/32 or 1.52 inches

Total length is 1 & 3/8". Outside diameter is a hair shy of 3/8"

As long as you match the diameter of ferrule with the adapter it should slide right over the taper.

I only used the short adapters for zwickey eskilite broadheads and they worked great. I assume the internal taper of a 5/16 broadhead and field point would be pretty close, but I'm not positive.

I'm sorry, I really don't know the answer to that question. I used the steel tips on wooden arrows for my son, I haven't used them with any screw in adapters. Lance Get Outlook for iOS<https://aka.ms/o0ukef>

?Yes

Have never used screw-in adapters. Sorry. rh

I would suggest the 100gr.

The weight of the point will affect the “spine” or stiffness of the arrow, and how it flies. But the length of the shaft and its stiffness also affect flight. Without knowing the stiffness of the shaft, how long it is, and your draw length, it isn’t possible to say whether 70 or 100 grains will help the arrow fly straight. What we can say (for a right-handed archer) is that if your arrows group right of your aim point with 100 grain points, their spine is a bit low for your bow. You can move the group left by using 70 grain tips, or by reducing the length slightly (with the same 100 grain tips) which makes the arrows act stiffer. What you need to do is “tune” your arrows to your bow - there are many helpful posts and videos available online on bow/arrow tuning. A highly regarded expert named Stu Miller has contributed a “dynamic spine calculator” spreadsheet which helps determine the effect of shaft spine, fletching, tip weight, inserts, etc. Enjoy the process!

Maybe the heavier the better.

70gr for target practice. A 35 lb draw weight bow is very light for hunting, but with a good shot using a blunt 100gr you might take out the odd squirrel! Over here I use a 90 lb draw weight traditional Turkish composite - bears and wild boar need to beware!

depends on the spine of the arrow, of course. I would try the 100 grain first, just because it is my personal opinion that moving the balance point foward-of-center (FOC) results in more consistent and accurate arrow flight.

Rik -- I shoot target only, so I don't have an opinion about blunts. As a general rule, I shoot the lightest point I can get, on the principle that a lighter arrow leaves the bow faster and gets to the target sooner. Good luck! - Chuck

70 speed kills not mass in the case of a 35lb bow

I personally would use the 100 grain, especially if to be used for hunting small game-the blunt , not a field point of cours.

We do have brass glue on points but they are only available in 125 grains .
