Broadhead washer/spacer?

RE: Broadhead washer/spacer?
you should not need any spacers for any broadhead.. sometimes guys will use a locking washer, but that is not needed either... if you are seeing stress then there must be something weaking the shaft such as the glue that was used on your inserts.

RE: Broadhead washer/spacer?
I'm not quite sure what you're talking about. For fieldtips I don't use any washer or adapter as they're the same size as the shaft. For broadhead I use slicktricks, and they come with a flat washer. I've found that using that I can align the broadhead a little better and the blades lock down tighter using the washer. In addition, I use a broadhead adapter which tapers from the smaller diameter of the shaft to the larger diameter of base of the broadhead. I feel that this adds some strength to the head so that the energy is transferred more evenly to the shaft. It also helps when sighting in the broadheads on my foam block target as they pull out more easily without tearing up the target so bad.
