Comments about Broadhead Adapters, Steel:
I mounted my Magnus II 2 blade 125 grain broadheads on the 125 grain adapters for the desired 250 grain tips. I recommend scuffing the adapter up some as well as the inside of the broadhead to get a good glue hold.
Comments about Broadhead Adapters, Steel:
love them
Comments about Broadhead Adapters, Steel:
When I wanted to try carbons for the first time with my longbow, I needed a way to both boost weight and tame spine. Having heard so much about EFOC and its effects, these were a clear choice. Absolutely wonderful. I'm using the 125 gr adapters with 130 gr Stos and some 125 gr blunts for practice and small game. Heavy and accurate, they're tough and seem to hold the point better than similiar aluminum adapters I have- something I wasn't expecting. I will be using this product over and over, and plan to order more very soon.
Comments about Broadhead Adapters, Steel:
Great way to provide increased FOC, especially great for small game heads and tolerate hard hits.
Comments about Broadhead Adapters, Steel:
USE THEM TO PUT ON ALL OF MY POINTS. THEY WORK GREAT
Comments about Broadhead Adapters, Steel:
whatever production flaws that the 75grn adapters used to have have been rectified and I found that these steel adapters performed perfectly.
Comments about Broadhead Adapters, Steel:
This was my first time using glue on adapters. I was worried about being able to get my broadhead on striaght. That should have been the last of my worries. They lined up perfect w/ the ferrells on my broadhead.
Comments about Broadhead Adapters, Steel:
great way to add weight forward for better penitration.
the 100 grn. adapters weighted in at 11 grns. light at 89.
Still a good product
Comments about Broadhead Adapters, Steel:
I tried this adapters as a way to bump up the weight of my aluminum hunting arrows, and also utilize some glue-on broadheads I had. With a little experimentation, I had a heavy, great shooting arrow with an extreme FOC. Very handy for my longbow! The adapters were very well made and easy to use.
Comments about Broadhead Adapters, Steel:
These adapters are very consistent in weight. They give the added weight to bump up your arrows down field killing power. Great product.
Comments about Broadhead Adapters, Steel:
Product appears well built and finished, but the taper is not consistant with that on the broadhead I use. I fitted them to Australian made 'blackstump' broadheads, which have always fitted perfectly on a standard alloy adapter, but they had to be packed up with glue, and considerable time spent spin testing the alignment. May fit better on another brand of broadhead??
Comments about Broadhead Adapters, Steel:
I use heavy arrows and where a screw-in head is needed these steel adapters are a must to get that extra weight required.
Comments about Broadhead Adapters, Steel:
These adapters combined with 160 grain Magnus 2 blade broadheads allowed me to bring my hunting arrow weight up to 650 plus grains for testing penetratiion, as suggested by Dr. Ed Ashby. They also forced the FOC to in excess of 30%. Initial results are good and the arrows handle the extra weight and FOC well.
Comments about Broadhead Adapters, Steel:
Fits the Zwickey Eskimos I bought perfectly. Easy way to up your arrow weight.
Comments about Broadhead Adapters, Steel:
An excellent way to match points to broadheads. I shoot 250 grain field points from my Gold Tip Traditional 3555 arrows. With these adaptors I can match the same weight with 125 grain broadheads and 125 grain broadhead adaptors.
Comments about Broadhead Adapters, Steel:
Perfect for beefing up your broadheads. Don't bend on a heavy impact like the standard aluminum ones.
Comments about Broadhead Adapters, Steel:
In order to get extreme foc with this adapters it is necesary to go up in spine weight for your shafts.
As always your shipping policy based on item total price instead of shipping weight still sucks.
Comments about Broadhead Adapters, Steel:
A good way to add weight up front. They fit in my Woodsman broadheads very well. The wouldn't go all the way into my 125 grain field points, but they still worked and held well.

Comments about Broadhead Adapters, Steel:
great product, I needed to beef up my foc and didnt want to go with brass inserts. They align perfect with my Zwicky heads.
Comments about Broadhead Adapters, Steel:
Used with 160 gr Grizzly broadheads to increase arrow's front of center weighting and add strength to arrow system. Easy to use, stonger than aluminum inserts and when used with a sharpened 160gr Grizzly matches weight of 3River's 250 gr field points.
Comments about Broadhead Adapters, Steel:
Would buy again.

Comments about Broadhead Adapters, Steel:
The pictures of the 125 grain steel adaptor is not the same as what arrived in the mail. The diameter of the adapter just above the threads is smaller than indicated in the picture, which creates a weak point. These adapters are not as shown in the internet sales catalog.
Comments about Broadhead Adapters, Steel:
Offers the shooter the flexability to arrow tune while using a preferred broadhead.
Comments about Broadhead Adapters, Steel:
Use these adapters to help with penetration. Brass will give when contact is made with heavy bone, steel does not absorb and displace energy as much as brass.
Comments about Broadhead Adapters, Steel:
Very useful to add weight to the glue on broadheads and field points.
Comments about Broadhead Adapters, Steel:
I was deeply unsatisfied with my muzzy phantom broadheads and wanted something that would sharpen and hold an edge reliably. Unfortunately, my arrows need a 200+gr weight out of my bow. These adapters fit my carbon express arrows well and socketed into my Zwickey Eskimo broadheads perfectly. I put the finished arrows on a spinner and could see no difference with the phantoms.
Comments about Broadhead Adapters, Steel:
Made the carbons fly harder and true to spine. Plus the penetration is awesome possum too!
Comments about Broadhead Adapters, Steel:
Mounted six STOS broadheads on these with no problems. Appear very well made and the weight was right on. All the heads spun true the first try. I would recommend these to anyone.
Comments about Broadhead Adapters, Steel:
These adapters get my aluminum shafts to 670 grains with a Grizzly El Grande. It makes the arrow extreme Forward of Center, too. Handy!
Comments about Broadhead Adapters, Steel:
I use these steel inserts in my old green Bear broadheads and other broadheads I hunt with. This gives me 230 to 290 grain broadheads, depending on the broadhead used, which allows me to use heavier spined arrows which equates to heavier total arrow weight for better penetration and great arrow flight. As you know, a heavy arrow helps quiet the bow. This is a great product that I will continue to use.
Comments about Broadhead Adapters, Steel:
Used these with Wensel Woodsmans, gonna place them on Grizzlies soon. I have bounced them off my houses brick wall (due to a mmmmmiiiiisss or two) and they held up strong still straight, still accurate. Good product as usual from 3Rivers.Thank you Jason B[...]
Comments about Broadhead Adapters, Steel:
I checked them out on a grain scale. They are bang on. A nice product. Unfortunately they don't fit completely into a Grizzly point. Adapter too big, Grizzly too small? I dont know. Would recommend, but not for Grizzly.
Comments about Broadhead Adapters, Steel:
I needed to add more forward weight to cure my nock right problem.The 100 grain steel broadhead adapters, and my 145 grain broadheads were a perfect set up for me. I also got the total arrow weight I wanted.
Comments about Broadhead Adapters, Steel:
Great alternative to lighter, weaker aluminum adapters. Good selection of different weights, but unfortunately only one size, 11/32 available. I'd like to see them offered in 5/16 as well.
Comments about Broadhead Adapters, Steel:
Steel Broadhead Adapters were the very thing I was looking for to give my arrows more FOC weight. My "Gold Tip" arrows fly great and hit with resounding force.
Comments about Broadhead Adapters, Steel:
Very consistent weight, really added penetration to my arrows and front of center weight for nice flight.

Comments about Broadhead Adapters, Steel:
I've recently been working up a new arrow broadhead combination for my longbow to achieve maximum performance. Some things I was considering were arrow weight, FOC, and perfect flight. Setup included a 675 grain finished carbon arrow consisting of a 190 grain Grizzly Broadhead, 100 grain Brass insert and 75 grain Steel broad head adapter. While doing some bare shaft testing I had an arrow fly low impacting the dirt shy of the target. The broadhead remained in the ground and the rest of the arrow went tumbling over the target. The arrow failed at the base of the steel broadhead adapter where it goes from the thickest width to the narrow that fits into the shaft. I chose steel because of its strength but after watching my broadhead snap off in the spring soil leaves me wondering what it would do in a less than perfect shot on an elk. This is the first time I've used these broadhead adapters and I do not know if this would continue to happen or if it was some sort of manufacturing fluke. Many people have good luck with these but as hunters we owe it to the animals we hunt to test our equipment and make sure it will work in conditions that are less than ideal.

Comments about Broadhead Adapters, Steel:
A great way to increase FOC on your arrows and at the same time eliminating the "weak link" of aluminum adapters.
Comments about Broadhead Adapters, Steel:
Test extreme FOC without having to use heavy brass inserts in carbon arrows. Broadhead adapters can be hot melted to glue-on field points or broadheads to observe flight characteristics. The 100gr adapters can be used to bump front end to mass weights of 200-260 grain with little hassle.
Comments about Broadhead Adapters, Steel:
Used to add weight to carbons for hunting. Worked great, easy to glue on heads and points.
Comments about Broadhead Adapters, Steel:
These work fine for thier intended purpose. I would prefer an ALL STEEL, one piece, screw in Grizzly broadhead. These are the best alternative I know of.
Comments about Broadhead Adapters, Steel:
The adapters fill the need of adding additional weight to the broadhead I am using.
Comments about Broadhead Adapters, Steel:
I am using both the 100 gr. and 125 gr. steel inserts. They allow me to use a wide variety of glue-on broadheads and add some extra weight.
Comments about Broadhead Adapters, Steel:
Perfect to increase broadhead penetration.

Comments about Broadhead Adapters, Steel:
I glued an "El Grande" Grizzly onto this adapter. The taper of the adapter did not fit the ferrule of the broadhead. The front part of the adapter was to small and not tapered properly to give good contact with the broadhead. The broadheads wobbled until I used more glue to build up the void. Is this the proper way to install a head. In the past the adapter fit the ferrule of the head and the glue was used to hold the head on the arrow. The taper tool I used on my wood shafts was perfect and the fit did not have in slack between the arrow and the ferrule on the head. Please advise.
Comments about Broadhead Adapters, Steel:
These adapters have been great to add weight to the end of the arrow and to strengthen the inherently weak joint between the broadhead and shaft.
Comments about Broadhead Adapters, Steel:
These adapters are great for adding weight to carbon arrows. They are excellent for increasing the weight of the business end of the arrow for increased penetration. They have proven to be extremely durable.
Comments about Broadhead Adapters, Steel:
Really helps to add weight to carbon arrows while attaining proper arrow spine for the Longbow.
Comments about Broadhead Adapters, Steel:
I run a hunting outfit for boars and bulls, these are the bees knees for adding up weight to a solid two blade broadhead. Don't waste my time on the alloy inserts, they will bend and let you down.
Comments about Broadhead Adapters, Steel:
Allows for extra weight to be added to the broadhead combination allowing for a higher FOC equation.
Comments about Broadhead Adapters, Steel:
I would use steel for hunting as I had a aluminum insert fail or break after hitting a deer this last fall once it struck bone.
Comments about Broadhead Adapters, Steel:
Great adapter to add weight up front to give yourself a little heavier front end. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was getting them trued perfect. Its no different then using wood arrows though as far as tuning goes. It also allows you to line up the broadhead anyway you like.
Comments about Broadhead Adapters, Steel:
More durable than aluminum which can bend.

The steel adapters are a great way to bump up your brodhead weight to get a high front of center they are also very strong.

Comments about Broadhead Adapters, Steel:
Would like to see a little slimmer design that would fit completely up in the broad head.
